Katy Perry, aka your favorite candy-colored queen of pop and professional firework, has officially entered the TikTok chat—and no, not to drop a new bop, but to address y’all who’ve been clowning her vocals like it’s open mic night at the meme factory.
In case you’ve been living under a rock without WiFi, there’s a new TikTok trend where people do over-the-top impressions of how Katy sings the second verse of her 2008 emotional gut-punch, “Thinking of You.” You know the one: it’s sad, it’s dramatic, it’s peak 2000s eyeliner vibes.
TikTokers are out here acting like Katy’s vocal cords were possessed by a Victorian ghost mid-breakup. We’re talking “how do I get throUUGH to YOOUUU” levels of exaggerated heartbreak, with dramatic eye rolls and tragic hand gestures that deserve their own Oscar.
But Katy? She’s not mad. She’s not sad. She’s… kinda hilarious about it.
While strumming her guitar during her Lifetimes Tour on Wednesday (May 7), Katy went full self-aware icon. She paused mid-performance, pulled a “can-you-believe-this?” face, and told the crowd:
“I’m not going to do it. I don’t sing like that.”
Mic drop. Cue crowd scream. Cue TikTok duets going wild.
Then she dove into the chorus like the pop legend she is, leaving us all wondering—was that shade? Sass? A subtle roast? Yes. All of the above. Katy Perry: 1, TikTok trolls: gently roasted but still vibing.
Moral of the story? Katy sees you. Katy hears you. And Katy’s still gonna slay those vocals—with or without the melodramatic TikTok filter.
