AMA duet was fantastic -- just really well done. Katy's vocal was on point. Best I've heard her sing live in ages. Hope there is a studio version of this

Glad everyone liked Katy's performance. I thought it was kind of boring?? I'm glad she's here to tell me "Only Love" will get me through this. lol

I thought it was kind of boring?? I thought the same, honestly. Where were the harmonies? I was expecting something towards the end and then they just sang in unison? A little underwhelming for me.

So...she’ll probably be labeled as a Trump supporter(?!), and she can *officially* say goodbye to her career.

I think everyone knows she's a Democrat (& supported Hillary in 2016, Harris in 2020). but this whole "embrace the fascists" bs is definitely going to turn people off. sorry Katheryn I don't want to embrace people who want me to die??? like??? way to go from LGBTQ+ icon to... whatever this is.

one of her strengths is that she used to be so self-aware, but that has definitely faded since Witness. I don't think she means any harm at all, she just isn't self-aware anymore and is kinda oblivious to her white privilege.

I truly try so hard... (i srsly do, I stan her but jfc she tests me) Like I get it, Katy, I do... i was a PK myself, however once you are old enough to go "oh wait this really IS bulls**t and ya'll are TRULY believing these fairytales?.. BITCH BYE!" you need to go with that feeling, stop falling into the "BUT LOVE!111!!!!" yeah love is the answer to everything and christianity can try all they want but they can't sue for copyright on love (as in LOVE does not equal JeSuS) lmfao and thus sometimes love means walking away from viewpoints that will never see eye to eye... http://instagram.com/p/CHA7zxIjwyn

There were so many missed opportunities with this album. Not that any of them would be successful, but I really would have liked Cry About It Later or Not the End of the World to have music videos and I just don't see it happening. I'm hopeful though.

That is what gets me about this rhetoric-its like the definition of privilege from people whose lives aren't threatened. Be nice and kind and LOVE the people who want to kill you and take away all your rights!!!! Like, no? Did people say this with other dictator and conservative governments in the past? I think Spree nailed it about not being self-aware. Younger people don't really "know" she is a democrat and I'm already seeing people joking about her wearing MAGA hats and being a Trump voter on twitter. I guess reconciling with her parents is what is important to her right now though, over a pop career and human rights lol.

I had this big long post written, but the bottom line is that Unity > Division. Personally, most of my family are republicans, and while we disagree on everything politically, to make assumptions that they're bad people just seems wrong to me. While each situation is different, I think both sides could stand to try a little harder to see the perspective of others. Also LOL @ anyone insinuating that Katy would ever support Trump - I feel like she's just trying to put her relationship with her family above politics, which I can definitely respect.

Who needs hits when you have Orlando sleeping next to you? Katy won big time.

She sounded good on the sing-along tonight, but I burst out laughing to see her dressed up as a Christmas tree strapped to the top of a car. What is with her and the costumes?

Sounding a lot better than she did at the AMAs. They might as well send this to AC à la "Save AS Draft".

^I agree. If she’s gonna keep performing Only Love, at least send it to radio. Granted, AC radio is overrun with Christmas music right now, so maybe they’ll try in January.

Was listening to this album the other day and couldn't help but feeling like there are so many wasted opportunities. Thought I'd give my two cents on it.
-Never Really Over was the perfect song to relaunch her after her Witness era. While still successful I think had they fully promoed it when it was out it could have made a bigger impact than it did. They should have treated it as if it was the lead. -The droplet era shouldn't have existed as all it did was kill any momentum she regained from NRO. Instead the album should've been dropped fall of 2019 to capitalize on the success of NRO. -Not the end of the world (bearing it was written by then) should have been the second single as it could have carried the success of NRO and gave her more momentum. -Only Love (bearing it was written by then) should've been third as I might be in the minority but this feels like classic Katy. Gives me Prism vibes and that is a huge compliment. She really excels on these ballads. -By this time she would've been pregnant with her baby and could've released a deluxe version of the album with Daisies on it, serving as the albums forth and final single. I actually think Daisies could've been more successful at radio had it had momentum going into it, but the droplet era pretty much only watered down the success of NRO.
