You just know that Litmus Music wants HIH to be a single. Immediately capitalize on their purchase.

So unlike the last time, it's making an impact in the States and both Katy and Capitol are acknowledging it. Hope they push it properly.

I got my Katy Catalog vinyl box set yesterday and the vinyls are even more beautiful in person. And each album comes with a few never-before-seen photos from each album.
Also, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the release of Prism. Such a good album and it has become my favorite Katy album. I still remember that album campaign from the Prism golden semi truck to the Pepsi DH vs WOA campaign to video teases leading up to Roar. Also, the Prismatic World Tour is the first time I saw her live and it was such a great concert.

I will be opening my Katy Catalog boxset when I get back home. I got to see it and it feels very high quality. I can't wait to spin the records.

Wide Awake did more than 500k a day for the first time on Spotify yesterday. Considering two months ago it was barely cracking 100k, I'm quite impressed (it's obviously viral in Tik Tok but still this might allow it to never return to it's previous figures)

She’s in a much better position to get a hit now than she was in 2019, I feel. Hopefully she doesn’t butcher the lead single like Smile (the title track being chosen) again

So ready for a new Katy era. Bring on KP6!
Edit: Katy shouted out Daisy at her final show and they showed her on the screens at the show. I’m pretty sure this is the first time Katy has formally shown Daisy in public:

Sorry for the double post. But after everything Katy went through 2017-2019, it warms my heart to see her in such a good place now. She seems happier than she’s ever been:

Ugh. That whole lawsuit Katy has with the disabled veteran is ridiculous. With all her millions she can't find another property to purchase considering the circumstances? That and her history of doing this sort of thing to elderly folks speaks so negatively to her character wow. I don't care if she had a legally binding contract or not, she could still have a heart and do what's kind and compassionate. It's such entitled, rich person gross behavior. She can stay flopping IMO. =)

I don't blame Katy one bit. That guy was kneeling and dealing while also agreeing to the contract with Katy but he's not disputing any of those agreements?

That guy probably had a lawyer, he/she should've done their job better. Plus, didn't his family look into the details when the house was put on sale? There's no blame on Katy on this one.

His vet and disabled status has nothing to do with the case. Katy is standing on business, regardless of her celebrity. Real Estate business, nothing more. It was put in the contract...why sign if you really weren't ready to sell it away?

How on earth could someone say this knowing that this man sold his house without any problem, and when suddenly the property gained value, his (btw notoriously conservative) sons and daughters wanted it back and suddenly the man was mentally incapable. It reminds me so much of the nun case, in which the property was sold by the nuns but they didn't want Perry as a buyer because of faith and ideological reasons, which is a clear case of ideological discrimination. And still, what made headlines was that she was practically evicting some poor nuns out of a monastery or whatever it was

As I said before, regardless of legal contingencies (as yeah, legally things are in place for a reason, that's not what I'm disputing here), I still find Katy quite abhorrent for this. Regardless if the man changed his mind at the last minute or not he is an 84yo sickly disabled veteran who just underwent major surgery. The fact that she is filthy rich, young in her prime, and can literally afford any other house in or out of that area, yet she somehow still finds herself rolling over the eldery/sickly for no other reason than her own selfishness "she really really wants THIS home thooo" is unseemly to me (well she is the same woman who forcefully took someone's first kiss because she wanted to so..). If it were me in the same position I would just go back on the deal, keep my karma intact, and choose literally any of the other readily available homes to purchase. I guess if I were stone cold and unsympathetic I would just go by the book and no matter what potential circumstance could surround dealings just throw up my hands and say "that's business!". How does she know he just didn't want to keep the home after all or keep it in his family? Maybe if it could be proven it was all a "money scheme" and he had nefarious intentions to go back on the deal just to try to sell it for higher I might be inclined to see her position, but as things stand/from what I have read I am not with her on this one. I've read a couple articles and seen like 3 videos on all this so far and literally nothing in the videos and no one throughout the comment section sided with Katy, so apparently if this old man has such devious intentions for going back on his agreement it isn't being reported on adequately.
And all that and this situation aside, the whole "it's just business argument" doesn't negate Katy or anyone else from wrongdoing at all to me personally. You can still be a respectable human being with a heart, have solid integrity, and still do business in a way that reflects that. You can also be absolutely cutthroat and an awful human being and do business that reflects that as well. I will never respect the latter.

You can still be a respectable human being with a heart, have solid integrity, and still do business in a way that reflects that. You can also be absolutely cutthroat and an awful human being and do business that reflects that as well. I will never respect the latter. I believe you already had a not-so-positive opinion about Perry in the first place and no PR team is gonna solve this. That said, some points about your essay: 1. The Westcott family, and Carl Westcott, are no poor people. They are as filthy rich: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Westcott / www.gurufocus.com/insider/83923/carl-h-westcott2. Also not a paladin of the poor people and those in need: ballotpedia.org/Chart_Westcott (the son) / www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10331067/Real-Housewives-Dallas-Kameron-Westcott-says-return.html (the wife of another son). They might try to appear in the media as a poor people victims of KP greed, but this is just fake to gather simpathy. 3. We live in a capitalist system. If you put your house to sale, obviosly someone is gonna buy it? It is not as if she manipulated him to sell the house. If you regret selling stocks two years later, nobody is giving you those back whatever you say. 4. The family could have fouht the selling when it happened, not two years afterwards when suddenly it's worth more because of a revalorization of property there. Didn't they know their father was selling the house? Also, that they don't want to sell it? How do you even know this? Because the battle here is not between this old man and Perry, but between the family and Perry. These people are selling it back for more the minute they get their hands on it (doesn't look like they will tho) 5. I don't care, nor I form my opinions, based on what people in the web say/support. Nor does the judiciary system, which is based on evidence. They might tray to play the victims but I just see no way they win this, also because of the effects (the jurisprudence would be crazy, no transaction would be safe because you could allegate without proof that you were mentally uncapable). 5. And finally, as a non american, the "veteran" thing is ridiculous. Don't expect me to feel any sorrow for someone for this. If I was arab or vietnamese I would probably hate him

I believe you already had a not-so-positive opinion about Perry in the first place and no PR team is gonna solve this. Already as based in when or what? Prior to hearing about these stories? You're dead wrong, but that's what happens when you make assumptions. You have absolutely zero idea of what my views on her were whatsoever and you're just pulling your opinion straight out of your own inferences from what you've read on a single post or two because I didn't like how she handled a few situations. lol I will say *after* this whole ordeal and learning more about Katy's character I can't say outside of her music I am much of a fan. Ah, loving this anti-intellectual quip. You're aware your responses aren't short and concise as well? Or is it only an issue when you disagree with the person and what they have to say where you have a sarcastic remark ready about the length of their response? If you're not up for an actual discussion maybe stay off a public forum that promotes it. The whole "not reading that book"/"oh an essay"/"so much text" nonsense people come up with is so redundant and tirelessly overused at this point. Must everything come in 5 second intervals for people to digest it these days... I never claimed he wasn't rich? He obviously has money if he's selling a multi-million dollar home? His wealth however had nothing to do with the point I was making, unlike hers did. I am well aware how the system works. I am well aware of her legal rights and the workings of a lawful-binding contract, as I have stated several times. Just because something is legally proper doesn't mean it is morally proper. Maybe we disagree on that sentiment tho. =) One could buy a home out from under a recently impoverished family and leave 3 young children homeless and they would have every legal right to do it, still doesn't make it right in my eyes! But I'm sure some would just tell them "Hey, get over it! It's the way this system works kid!" No you form your opinions based on the evidence presented to you in whatever form you find credible that you come across. Same as me. As I have said, I read multiple articles about this, from reputable sources as well and none listed information you presented about this man or his family being conniving, money-hungry people who were just reneging on a deal to pad their wallets. Good for you. As an American, I always will have respect and place value in the lives of those who've bravely fought for my freedoms even if I don't support any and every war. Those who've served rarely hold the nefarious, questionable motives and intentions of our government. At the end of the day, this wasn't a legal matter with me to begin with, but a question of character. Law isn't really interpretive so there's not much of an argument to make. Perry wins in the eyes of the law. That is given and I could easily predict the inflow of "that's just business" and "that's the law" responses coming from those who support her in this. I am just not one of them unless I see, as you say, actual evidence of this 84yo man's supposed greedy/negative agenda, beyond gossip and conjecture which you've yet to provide. That might sway my opinion, but as it stands I don't support how she handled this. That's all. Carry on supporting her in whatever she does. That's your prerogative as it is mine not to. This will be my last response on this because I'm not going in circles about it with no new information.

Don’t feed the troll. That person only ever pops in Katy’s thread to trash her. They’re twisting the story for their own narrative. Not worth arguing with that. Let them scream into the void.
I never understood the need to post about someone if you hate them so much. If I don’t like an artist, I just ignore them and don’t post paragraphs about them.
