Katy Perry has been on a steady downward slide for years that has been painful to watch. I'm not saying that as a hater, but someone who appreciated her as a sugary-pop act that was OK. California Girls/TGIF/Birthday/Roar and the like weren't going down in music history, but they either had a catchy riff somewhere or something interesting happening in the video (Birthday, in particular...)

Unfortunately, I can't even try to defend the KP videos I linked above even as cotton candy nonsense pop. They are just painful. Swish Swish is the opposite of self-aware and the only bearable part is Nicki.

IMO it's been amelodic trash since Dark Horse.

Wow, that was way too in-depth.

Honestly, if hard pressed on a sinking ship, I would have to choose Taylor Swift and push Katy off the boat.

Man that would be the toughest call of my life.

Also way too "in-depth" at least for Katy...
