Katy's next tour/era will make her richer than Knee.
Britney is all about the past, she's a huge flop now and has been for five years. She's kept around because she's a pop icon from the past decade.
Time is the ultimate truth teller.
Just imagine if Katy accepted the AI offer, Mariah would've literally died because Katy would've been paid millions more. The gifs would've been iconic.
Glad queen turned it down though.
