JT55331 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 I don't think Katy has ever truly lost her appeal. Teenage Dream was iconic for my generation and we witnessed hit after hit. The world was in her palm. The problem was by the time we hit Witness, Katy was having an identity crisis. She was lost in the pop star image and the GP & fans could tell. The whole witness recordings where she was breaking down was horrendous and her image at the time was wrecked. Enough time has passed now, her image has recovered and she seems in a better place. I have no doubt the next era will be HUGE - I can just feel it
Mattically Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't really planning anything for Wednesday at first, and the only reason they changed the profile pictures was because it was the 143rd day of the year. She or her team saw a tweet about it and decided to go with it, even though they weren't planning on starting the era that early, so now we have this weird, awkward gap. Edited May 24 by Mattically 1

Even our two besties were informed differently. I think something might have changed but what…

IgorF Posted May 24 Posted May 24 eminem is coming next week maybe she postponed it until the first week of June, which is also pride month

He's not Taylor Swift. Those are two different target audiences. And even if they weren't different - which is not the case - Katy is not coming from a place where anyone gonna expect her pulling big numbers. If it's gonna be a successful song then it's gonna be a slow burner.
chriswouldman Posted May 24 Posted May 24 btw some people on Twitter are trying to trend „ANNOUNCE THE LEAD KATY".

Do you actually think he's gonna block her from getting the number 1 on TOP 100? We can be glad if she's gonna pull something between 40 - 100. Let's see if she's gonna even chart lol.

Sometimes it happens that artists (labels) push immediately the single the day before its official release or even on the same day. I don't think her team usually does it (Electric was available "for a while" if i'm not mistaken). No idea of what is happening right now: change of modus operandi or just waiting? 22 minutes ago, Nuggets said: You bring such a calming energy to this thread. Thank you for your service.

cryaboutitNow Posted May 24 Posted May 24 i must say though, pushing back the release is one thing, not using the momentum she has and staying radio silent after she changed her socials pfps is another. Her team could use this extra time they have before the release to even tease it more, interact with us (on the canal on instagram also) and just build it more. idk what they're doing tbh
