wait, with gaga flopping and katy being at the peak of her career, their average ticket price is only $15 apart

the difference is exacerbated by katy doing like double the shows in the long run
as much as it was detrimental of her turning the monsters into a totalitarian fanbase, it also works in the sense that she has a core set of fans to exploit

for the remainder of her career
as long as she carries on with the self-fulfilling prophecy of being inspired by the greats rather than what she's seen on tumblr, people will grow to associate her with that crop of artists. there'll still be a sense of interest when she has a tour bc people will remember her for being a spectacle and putting on a show
she's still fine touring wise tbh
