SB tanked (relatively) ratings and viewership wise, meaning that Katy's Halftime Show is still the most the highest rated and highest watched. With the way TV viewership is in decline across the board, it has a high chance of staying that way, I'd expect.

Whether it’s silly or not, just look how long, black hair makes her look. Like a bombshell. She’s super cute with short hair, but she’s sexy with long, black hair. Big difference.

These shots are the closest she's gotten to high fashion in my recent memory. Especially that cover, holy my.

Great photo shoot. The no makeup (natural) look makes her unrecognizable to a point but beautiful regardless. Reminds a bit if Xtina's shoot last year.

This has probably been said 365 times already on this thread but the black hair looks so much better on her.

She is a red wig and eyebrows away from looking like Tori Amos in the second half of the 90s here. The cover shot isn't for me (blonde eyebrows & black hair), but I love the rest, in particular this.

She’s had some real cute looks with the short hair, but I think growing it back is long overdue. Plus there are so many in-between looks that you can have. She should rock those for Idol.

She is getting blasted all over twitter for her black face caricature looking ass shoes. I don't know when white people will learn but they keep subliminally showing their ass. If something doesn't look right its ain't hard to spot it and not use it. Common sense. This is strike 2 on her brand because DH video exists. Smarten up folks!

So anything black with lips is black face? People are overreacting way too much. In fact most people in social media are defending her about the ridiculousness of it all.

LMAO @ those shoes. They've been removed I think.
Her shoe line overall is...not good, but good for her to have it do well enough to keep them coming.

It does NOT look too far off black face either. And it's ugly as f**k. Throw it all away IMO

She should work with some people who help her with stage design because now THAT has always looked awesome for the most part.

^Yeah, the shoes were removed and she issued a formal apology statement. There was a sandal version too. So anything black with lips is black face? People are overreacting way too much. In fact most people in social media are defending her about the ridiculousness of it all. Black with garish red lips and an exaggerated/overemphasized nose, yeah, pretty much. The shoes are ugly af anyway and she'll be fine b/c she pulled them quickly and wasn't defensive about it, but it's mind-boggling to me how this would have been avoided if the shoe was purple or green or shit stain brown or just...ANY color except black. Or if the lips were ANY color except red. Or if everything was the same color, but with normal, aesthetically pleasing proportions for each feature (essentially the shoe was a trigger b/c blackface is intentionally ugly, and those shoes are so ugly one can't help wonder if it was intentional). This was not even a hard controversy to see coming and side step. Prada and Gucci already had to pull merchandise for similar reasons so that really just tells me that no one working at KPC is paying attention. Or a minority.

That shoe was so on brand with the rest of her collection that her apology could just been "I'm not racist you guys, ugliness is my shoe line's brand!" and I don't think anyone could have argued against it.

I think a tan or gold version of these shoes also existed at one point? Either way, glad they’re pulled, and I agree with everyone... her shoe line is incredibly ugly

Thank you Cynthia! If I can call out my own muva Queen MC for performing in Saudi Arabia who TF is KP and her ugly ass shoes that do like a caricature of black face. It's not about her INTENTION it's about the fact if it can make or give that appearance have better judgement and throw that ugly ass s**t away. I hate when people for that matter defend pop stars solely cause we like their music! Wrong is wrong. They ugly and if they give anyone the images of aunt Jemima it's unnecessary and it's not about her being racist it's about the images evoking it! They hide negative images everywhere and whether done by accident or on purpose it definitely needs better judgment. If it looks remotely like don't issue it! www.google.com/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/256185/

I swear if people worked as hard to avoid any blackface references as they did defending blackface references...

I never really understood who actually buys her shoes for the shoe line to stay in business. All of her shoes are just over-the-top and don't look good at all. If she's looking to start a merchandise line, she might wanna phone Rihanna for some tips.
In the meantime, she needs to stop creating shoes and start creating an album.

Katy should know that the entire world has gone pussy. Everything is offensive now. The shoes are ugly though.
