Exactly this. I'm not a fan of Taylor, but her promotional team is EONS better than Katy's. Like if Capitol wants Katy to keep them a relevant company they NEED to go back to the Teenage Dream/1989 level promotion.
Taylor was everyone like Katy in 2010-2011
Taylor's style was on point like Katy's in 2010-2012
Taylor's music videos have been great or at least decent like Katy pre-PRISM.
The list goes on. Taylor's company simply took the Teenage Dream blueprint and made it more successful (as Taylor is the bigger star). Perfectly timed promotion, strategic music video release, remixes of certain songs with popular rappers, etc.
Meanwhile for the Prism era we got
Katy was everywhere for the first 6 months of PRISM. After that she didn't do **** to promote.
Katy has been dressing like a hockey mom who doesn't have time to get her **** together and look presentable.
Katy's music videos have been legitimately terrible as of late. Roar and Dark Horse have a lot of replay value, but leave much to be desired. Unconditionally was the best video simply for the imagery. Birthday and TIHWD looked like they were given a $1,000 budget.
Katy needs to realize she is Katy Perry and not ADELE. She makes bubblegum pop in the most digestible form and it's easy to replicate. If she keeps putting off her album release she will eventually reach a point where the public does not care. I may not talk about Katy much on this forum but in real life all my friends know I'm a huge Katy fan and even I'm becoming and less and less interested in her next album.
Almost 3 ****ing years and you have NO SONGS COMPLETE? Are you serious? You're over ****ing 30 years old. She is getting to the point where people begin to view her as too old for pop music. There better be some diversity with this album because I swear if she waits 3 years just to release another damn bubblegum pop album I will rip up these posters on my wall and light them on fire. I haven't seen a pop star since Gaga in 2011 be so intent on ruining their career.
Also Katy has always, ALWAYS, depended on her looks to sell her music. That's not really a debatable thing. If she was ugly IKAG would have never even happened. The fact that she seems to have forgotten this and appears in some ugly ass outfits 90% of the time now is just irritating.
Whatever, i'm done ranting. If she doesn't deliver a ****ing fantastic album and at least try to look presentable she will flop and she will deserve to.
