Katy Perry: From Blue Origin flight to ‘cringe’ dance moves

Earlier this week, American singer Katy Perry, best known for her bubblegum pop, said she felt like a “human Piñata” after weeks of online backlash. The criticism intensified following her participation in a Blue Origin spaceflight and her ongoing world tour, which has drawn scrutiny over her performances. Music writer Michael Cragg suggests Perry is struggling to reinvent herself in an evolving pop culture, while her previous attempts at a more serious persona have failed to resonate with current audiences.
