As she gets older, her audience seems to stay the same age, or in some cases—as long as choosy moms still choose Katy Perry over more overtly “scandalous” pop stars—grow even younger. And unlike, say, Miley or Gaga (whose shows are littered with f-bombs and offerings to the goddess Mary Jane Holland), Katy’s response is not to act and talk in her live show like a normal person her age might, but instead play to the youngest common denominator. Which brings up a lot of questions about how and even whether she can actually grow as an artist at this point. Whenever she addressed the crowd last night, I felt like I was watching a Pixar movie: Lots of cartoony dialogue with these subtle, knowing winks to the parents being like, “Hey, there is actually a smart, self-aware adult human inside this hot-pink furry cat suit.” Something about that dynamic made me feel bad for her, though. She just seems kind of… weary? I picture her sitting in front of a fancy, well-lit vanity after the show, flinging off her rainbow hair and sighing to herself in a wig cap, “But would the world still love a grown-up Katy Perry?”
It wasn't all negative, though:
JS: I enjoyed the show! Having seen her live now I wouldn't pay to go to another Katy Perry show, but if someone wanted to take me I wouldn't say no.

Do you agree with Pitchfork?
). It's actually a really good article and pretty accurately sums up all my feelings about Katy's work.
