Clinton supporter Katy Perry’s Grammys performance ‘chained’ to politics

Before the show had even begun, Katy Perry received a backlash for a comment she made on the red carpet.

As you likely remember, Britney infamously shaved her head down to the peach fuzz in 2007 during an unfortunate breakdown. The streamlined, mirrored set and monochromatic outfit marked a definite departure from her colorful, peppy performances of past years.

Not only were people bothered that Perry may have been poking fun at Spears, but many also felt it was insensitive to anybody suffering from mental health issues.

She later appeared to repeat her comment on CBS, talking about her latest hair change and how she hadn’t yet shaved her head due to a meltdown. Pressed further on how the break went, she said “Fantastic”. News’ Ryan Seacrest about the brief pause in her music career and its comeback. Katy told the hosts, “It’s the last colour on the spectrum I can do”.

Katy Perry wanted to be humorous, but the joke was not well spent.

One fan wrote: ‘OK FINE I turned on the Grammys and Katy Perry was making a snide “Britney breakdown head-shaving” reference & I’m not down with that’.

In the clip, Britney says: ‘A book in Malibu is all you need, ‘ with a small giggle which starts to terrify when placed on an endless loop.

Overwhelmed by the news, she said excitedly in a statement: ‘I’m excited to come back to one of my favourite countries, where most of my favourite musical influences come from’.

“I’m a huge fan of hers”.

Perry is fresh from her performance at the Grammy Awards 2017, where she performed Chained To The Rhythm live for the first time.

Perry acknowledged the political nature of her new album in a tweet sent out Friday.
