Katy Perry, the queen of pop anthems and questionable Met Gala outfits (remember the cheeseburger dress?), has some thoughts on negative reviews—and she’s not losing sleep over them.
The 40-year-old “Firework” legend recently dropped her latest album, 143, in 2024, and let’s just say… the reviews were as mixed as a bag of Halloween candy. Some people loved it. Some people acted like they were personally offended by it. And Katy? Well, she’s too busy living her best life to care.
In a recent interview, she revealed whether she actually reads these reviews (spoiler: sometimes), and shared a life-changing nugget of wisdom from her therapist—who honestly deserves a Grammy for this one.
Katy vs. Reviews: A Love-Hate Relationship
So, does Katy Perry actually sit down with a tub of ice cream and scroll through all the critic reviews? Kind of. But also… she knows she probably shouldn’t.
“You shouldn’t read it when it’s good. You shouldn’t read it when it’s bad,” she said. Translation: Just pretend reviews don’t exist. Denial is a river in Egypt, and she’s got a yacht on it.
Then, she dropped some therapist-approved wisdom: “What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It’s what you think about yourself.”
Mic drop. Somebody put that on a throw pillow ASAP.
Katy’s Message to 143 Haters: “Love and Light, Sweetie”
So what does Katy have to say to the people who weren’t vibing with 143? In true Perry fashion, she’s keeping it upbeat.
“I created this album out of a real shift in my life when I became a mother, and I really tapped into that feminine divine energy,” she explained. “The messages on it are celebratory. They’re about love.”
In other words: If you don’t like 143, that sounds like a you problem.
She added that the album is about unconditional love—something she spent her whole life looking for but apparently found somewhere between diaper changes and lullabies.
And honestly? Whether the critics love it or hate it, Katy Perry is still cashing checks and living rent-free in everyone’s playlists. That’s the real win here. 🎤✨
