The person, group or business who submits the nomination pays the fee. I highly doubt Katy nominated herself. It's usually record labels or fan groups.
Jokes aside this is big. She's a star and she has accomplished a lot in 5 years of career. It's not her fault that your faves don't wanna pay for theirs.
14 pages of melt downs over a stupid star I mean it's not like they would ever deny Gaga or Rihanna a star if they applied for one, and at the same time, it's not like Katy doesn't deserve to be there. Congrats Katy
why so early in her career though she doesn't even have a third album out yet, and like 95% of her successful singles are from her second album era
i have a feeling people will be very disappointed at the rest of her career and then she'll have a Hollywood Star only there to represent the Teenage Dream era
