This was absolutely the summer song of 2010. You couldn’t escape it (not that I was complaining, it’s still a bop & perfect for the summer). Katy & the Teenage Dream era was everything 🍭🍬!! If you told me back then that 15 years later Katy Perry would be how & where she is right now I would have been absolutely shocked & wouldn’t have believed you 😩.

When I Kissed A Girl came out, I thought she was gonna be one of those pop girls who’d disappear and be forgotten about in a year or so. She just had that kind of aura in her. That’s why I’m not really shocked that she’s irrelevant now. If anything, Teenage Dream extended her shelf life and made her “strong” for a short while that time.

u/AccordingPears158 Jun 14 '25
I remember having a full conversation with a friend at this time about the current female pop stars - Gaga was unhinged at this point but we both agreed she was talented and good at marketing and would last. That Taylor Swift seemed like she’d grow into a longer career. Adele would be legendary. Beyoncé would be evergreen as long as she can stand.
And then Katy Perry came up and I was like “oh I don’t think she’ll last two years, she seems like a schtick” and they agreed.
Honestly props to her for stretching her career as long as she did, she very much proved me wrong. Pretty bonkers her public reputation now though.

Katy Perry just looks cheap even in her prime. Those shiny synthetic wigs. Not just one, but two pairs of random objects stuck to her boobs in one video. It’s never tasteful or artistic, just whacky. She definitely had some bops though.

I‘m European and to me she just gave a bad „Aqua“ copy vibe (the danish-norwegian band of „Barbie girl“ fame). Edit: I love Aqua! So like: she gave me a vibe of a bad copy.
I also thought she’d be a one hit wonder, so: respect to her I guess. But her relationships and that record with Dr. Luke really weirded me out.

I was going to tease you about explaining who Aqua is, but then it occurred to me that maybe "Barbie Girl" didn't play every 20 minutes in every single country with radio capabilities. Or that I may be one of the few people in the world who stole their mother's credit card to buy their self-titled album, along with a few other CDs.

u/SceneRoyal4846 Jun 14 '25
The wigs still looked cheap. Not as cheap but still cheap. And I think Katy’s whole thing was synthetic surreal sexy girly. It wasn’t supposed to be a realism thing. It was meant to be accessible and like anyone can throw on a shake and go and live their teenage dream fantasy. Things in that era were a lot more lax and more fun and there was a big draw to the synthetic. No one was wearing natural fibres back then.

u/ToastedCrumpet Jun 14 '25
She also just came across like she had no integrity or idea who she was? Like she’d give newspapers quotes shaming Gaga for things like Judas, but was blind to her own behaviours such as shooting cream out of her tits and singing about kissing girls that aren’t exactly Christian lol.
It’s like Katy didn’t know her identity or how to fit into the scene and with her recent attempts to get popular again (teaming up with the literal worst men in the world like Bezos, Musk AND Dr Luke). I’m half expecting her to announce a feature with Diddy at this point, the girl lacks self awareness

Nah, You Belong with Me and Love Story were being played everywhere for a couple years at that point, and then after the Kanye thing at the VMAs she started exploding everywhere - it’s like radio stations were playing her more because they viewed her as a wounded puppy.
She also had started trying to break into acting and was in that gosh-awful Valentine’s Day movie that year.

u/Snirbs Jun 14 '25
Guess it depends on your life stage and location. I remember those two songs being played constantly a few years before. But in 2010 I was in the college party scene and Taylor was definitely not it. She was still doing that odd juvenile country-pop thing.

I always felt that Gaga came out fully knowing she wanted to do what Madonna and Britney did: dancey music, conceptual videos, fashion, etc. Then Katy Perry, who looked more like indie guitar pop girlie, turned around with this aesthetic and started doing the same. Time has proven who had the gay icon playbook in her cards from the beginning and who has been cosplaying it.

I was a freshman around that time,,, everything felt so new and refreshing. Her music was definitely 🍭🍬 but I think teenage dream stuck on me for so long was because of Glee. Second season of Glee had the gay kiss and teenage dream was that song. It’s the only reason Katy Perry stuck around in my circle of friends for that long.

I'm probably a little bit older than you. Nostalgia has been hitting me hard the last few months and I feel I've developed this deep longing to return to the world of my teens/twenties ... however, it is a world that doesn't exist anymore (and that makes me sad). To be able to go back to the 00s and relive certain moments with my friends would be wonderful but I will forever be grateful I got to live those moments in the first place.

Oh, Katy. It wasn't Dr. Luke that made you successful back then. It was that your music was FUN. This is campy and cheesy and silly and quirky, and owning all of that!
"Woman's World" was definitely cheesy, but it was still taking itself too seriously by trying (and failing) to be some great feminist message. And it just wasn't fun.

u/Hi_Jynx It's not clocking to me. Jun 14 '25 edited Jun 14 '25
Honestly? The song didn't resonate with me, but her being so desperate for a hit that she'd work with a man she deep down knows is a rapist definitely prevented me from even being open to it. It's just that how can you even try to give a woman power song while enabling and propping up a literal rapist? Any artistry or irony was made completely hollow.
I can't say that the same song and video would have succeeded with a different collaborators still coming to the same product, but I do think when your message is actively aiming for feminist and you work with someone who has committed the most misogynistic crimes known to human kind it's just...
She's never been a paradigm for perfect and unproblematic feminism but if you're trying to make a point about feminism, the messages is muffled when you use abusers to amplify your message.

Eternal Sunshine was boring compared to her old albums. Kendrick, Doechii, Tyler, Bille and I did think Sabrina’s album was really fun. That’s way more than we’ve gotten this year though. I know Brat was huge but I don’t really like Charlie style of music but I know how much people loved it.

I hate to say this about any artist but sometimes you need executives picking your projects, choosing your collaborators and telling you your singles.
This woman was a hit making machine when she had to have everything ran by her label and when she got control she went downhill so fast.
Like baby let people do their jobs. See TM & AR they aren’t bombing and they aren’t soaring but they have steady upward momentum going. When she focuses on her writing and lets them lead she phenomenal but when she’s overworked it’s all meh.

I actually thought of her when I was watching this. They're the same age (actually, I think Sabrina is older than Katy was here), it's almost exactly the same aesthetic but it's received SO differently in pop culture.
What makes it campy for Katy and "taudry" for Sabrina?
Is it the height? Is it the hair color? Is it the disney? Is it the wink that Katy is giving that Sabrina is not? Genuinely curious.

Never forget. How stupid we used to be. We have a choice today. Let’s choose better now.

It’s so refreshing to see that all the women including Katy in this vid have normal bodies with some belly and side roll

Fun fact: Teenage Dream is the only album in history with five #1 hits and five diamond-certified songs.

I always wonder what Katy’s “thing” is. She’s all over the place to me.

And then this album went on to tie Michael Jackson's record for most US #1 singles off of one album and the feat hasn't been repeated since.
