Internet divided after Katy Perry rooted for Ariana Grande’s upcoming album
An X user said Katy Perry’s support was an attempt to gain attention.
“Anything to get relevant.”
Another one also took a dig at Perry’s music.
“She’s saying that because nobody streamed hers
An internet user called Perry’s support for Grande a “low-key cosign.”
“That’s the kind of low key cosign that actually matters, simple but it still shows real support between artists.”
However, many netizens praised Perry’s gesture towards her younger fellow. One X user commented,
“Basically a superstar saying she’ll be a fan like everyone else.”
Another one highlighted Katy Perry’s successful era.
“Katy Perry once held the record for most No.1 hits from one album with Teenage Dream. Now she’s supporting Ariana Grande’s next era full circle moment.”
An internet user pointed out that Perry supported despite Grande mocking her space trip on SNL.
“Even after Ariana Grande openly mocked her on SNL, she’s STILL very supportive… Katy Perry has a pure heart of gold! She’s a much better person than I am… because she’s always showing love and support for other artists, despite never getting that same expression in return.”
While Ariana Grande announced the release date of her album, the tracklist has yet to come. In a statement, Grande described petal as:
“Something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.”
The album will drop at a time when the Grammy-winner will be on her Eternal Sunshine tour.
