She prolly won't. I'm very positive that she knows that she's declined so much (in music, in art, performance, etc) though. She will find a way back to the top without having to swallow her pride.
And I am feeling so small
Katy Perry's era is bigger than mine
And I will swallow my pride
You were the public that I loved, and I'm moving on to Disney
Judging from her endless rants in which she blames everyone but herself, she will probably try to do even MORE by herself as she thinks she can do no wrong.
Her mind is her biggest weakness and she proves that a high IQ doesn't stop her from running into fallacies.
She will swallow her pride, but not to the extent that she needs to.
She'll allow her label to share creative control and she'll let them book popular producers, but she won't be able to be completely absent from the process, so at best she'll get a great beat and a catchy melody and then ruin it with lyrics about seashells and onions.
Why would she swallow her pride ? She sold more records in 5 years than any of her peers, she had bigger tours than any of her peers, she had more Impact than any of her peers. Why would she swallow her pride ?
