You’re not wrong but I do think there’s more nuance to it than that as other female celebrities don’t get nearly the hate she does.
Katy Perry represents the music industry. She is THE corporate artist, bland and inoffensive. She’s a good singer but not a unique or amazing one. She’s not all that popular anymore yet she’s constantly in the news (TBF, I probably follow music news closer than most).
Collaborating with with Dr. Luke on her new album made it clear that she’s just hollow. Whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight. It’s like getting Chris Brown to do a feature on your single.
I’m not sure John Mayer is a great example here as it’s been a long time since he even ran in the top 40 circle.
i listed john mayer because he’s up to even worse shit masquerading as an artist’s artist in the blues scene. but on the whole, yes. hating katy perry more than any other female artist is totally fair. but to hate her more than any other artist at all? i find that a little suspicious. and again. i’m in the swaths of katy perry haters. i hate her because she props up a mysoginistic system. but even i look around at the horde and go “guys, really? all this? for her?”
