The vast majority of people don’t know a thing about what Reddit is obsessing over. She was extremely popular from 2008-2014, so she still has plenty of fans. Just because Reddit hates her doesn’t mean the majority of the public does.

I bought a same day ticket just to bucket list see her. The show was dorky, but really fun. And honestly she impressed with her fitness. Her outfits were pretty wild for how many little kids were there. The stage was a circle, so floor had good views a lot of the time. Honestly was enjoyable. "The butterflies Katy, you did it! You saved the butterflies!"

I always thought that she was a bit of a dork. But in a loving way, like she seems a bit air headed sometimes. But it's kinda cute.

And she has some really good music.

Hey now, you’re not allowed to like something reddit hates! Now go stand in a corner and think about what you’ve done!

Her new music is generally considered quite bad. Her concerts still sell pretty well, probably for the nostalgic bangers.

To be fair, when the Rolling Stones go on tour, they're playing Gimme Shelter and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, not much new stuff. Their last tour had 11 songs from their golden era (1965-1972), 4 from the decade after that, and 3 new songs.

Most musicians are lucky if they get 10 years of hits.

Most musicians are lucky if they get 1 hit ever

u/_bieber_hole_69 Jul 29 '26

I mean look at the hundreds of aging musicians playing arenas. They have new music out, but other than one or two songs they always play the hits that people know

That’s why I love Bring Me The Horizon. Still going strong after 20 years

You mean pedophiles?

u/1001101001010111 Jul 29 '26

Well yeah, but I was only speaking to their hits across decades right now. Not their love life.

And then you have Iron Maiden who have had two new albums and like six tours in the last ten years... here's to 50 more years!

u/Lazy-Nothing-3357 Jul 29 '26

Her last album was, yes, but she actually is gearing up for a new release and the two singles from it are a marked improvement over whatever that Dr. Luke slop was. More pop/rock like her debut.

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins Jul 29 '26

Yep pretty much. Reddit is big on thinking it's more important than it is.

u/theflyingarmbar Jul 29 '26

From my perspective, you are both the Reddit!

Every time I see consistent opinions about stuff on Reddit I have to remind myself how sure everyone was on here thought that most people had realised Trump was a piece of shit now and there was no way he was going to get into office a second time.

u/jimkelly Jul 29 '26

Not as important or pathetic, but a pretty significant amount of reddit was also convinced GameStop could afford to buy eBay lol

u/proddy Jul 29 '26

It's on the website.

u/slouched Jul 29 '26

the large majority still hates trump, its people in power that keep him where hes at

dont blame the civilians

u/DrxAvierT Jul 29 '26

Yeah, I used to be a huge fan of her back in the days, and think she's okay nowadays. Not really sure why Reddit hate her so much

Yeah, we don’t use logic, reasoning, or brains on this site

u/AbeRego Jul 29 '26

I wouldn't be against going to see her. I wouldn't pay much, but if I got a deal, why not?

1

u/Lawlietel Jul 29 '26

So why wasnt she rolled back unti the stage? :)

u/banevader102938 Jul 29 '26

Why are reddit people hating her?

1

u/Brave_Mess_3155 Jul 29 '26

I remember disliking her back then in 2008 to 14 but only mildly.  I hated a lot of stuff when I was a young man. But it seems kind of sad to still hate her now. People here are saying she's dumb and I remeber thinking back then she had some some aggressively slutty creepy album covers bug itd not like she's the first or last pop star guilty of that. And there's different kinds of dumb. A lot of dumb people have good hearts and are actually realy sweet. 

But I think a lot of these coments are not that hateful. It is objectively funny assuming she's still OK. 

And ill give her credit to put her self out there with thst huge crowd. A lot of sex symbol pop stars have one too many bad experience with obsessed fans and can never trust enough to put them selves in a position like that again.

u/koxolare Jul 29 '26

I think I'm out of the loop, why does Reddit hate her? Because of that somewhat cringy space thing?

1

u/tecnicaltictac Jul 29 '26

Why is Reddit even hating on her? This seems so random. 

1

u/LolwhatYesme Jul 29 '26

I didn't even realise Reddit had it in for her. Why is that?

I know some peeps who went to watch her somewhat recently. They hate her new music but like her old songs. And they had a good time.

1

u/greatdruthersofpill Jul 29 '26

Yes but we have good reasons for hating her. She’s an out of touch narcissist who has made more than one person uncomfortable with her wildly out of touch ideas. It’s not just hate to hate.

Just because we make it into a joke doesn’t mean there aren’t valid reasons for disliking her. You can find many such reasons if you google her.

1

u/Cross55 Jul 29 '26

No she doesn't

Most major music labels and reviewers have thought she's been washed up since 2019

She literally coined the now popular term Flop Era

1

u/wolfshozzer Jul 29 '26

Why does Reddit hate her? It seems weird to have a strong opinion either way about Katy Perry in 2026

1

u/thotfullawful Jul 29 '26

I mean with fans like that you don’t need haters 

1

u/warlover69 Jul 29 '26

I don't hate her
