Katy Perry went to the 2011 VMAs as Lady Gaga when even Lady Gaga didn't go as Lady Gaga.
How are those outfits different than the ones Katy wore at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards? Katy has always loved to dressed up since 2008 before Gaga and Poker Face were even a thing
Cool. Doesn't change the fact Gaga started calling her fanbase by a name just after Katy did it. And that Gaga outfit wasn't even that weird compared to the Katy outfit
Welp. You keep ignoring the receipts. Whatever makes you feel better I guess
That's about as weird as Katy's ever dressed though and it came before Gaga was a thing so she definitely wasn't influenced by Gaga to be weird. Gaga on the other hand went from normal before Katy was a thing (see: Just Dance video) to wearing weird outfits just after Katy became famous. Katy was a trend-setter
