I think it just comes with her getting even bigger, like, she truly reached stardom these past years.
She has handled everything extremely well, I couldn't think of a better way to handle all the stuff that has come her way. I do think she has gotten a lot of undeserved lashings (like, WAYYYY to many).
This. I mean, she truly deserved quite a few of her lashings (like Kimyegate and some of her cringeworthy comments on feminism), but the fact that she's now getting dragged for the usage of her constitutional rights is embarrassing and just highlights this weird obsession some people have with focusing on what celebrites do or don't do about something, rather than actually focusing on the issues at hand!
Katy is the type of pop girl I'd be friends with irl. Sarcastic, super liberal and chill, happy but acts like a real human being with many emotions. Having drinks with her would be quite awesome.

Low-key this.
Plus she wouldn't be able to out-sing me in a messy karaoke night & that wouldn't happen with any of my faves, so yeah. We can be BFFs tbh.
I'd probably be good friends with Ariana irl tbh, she's funny, goofy, down to earth, chill asf, doesn't go to clubs, adventurous and very open minded and affectionate. She's literally the female version of me.
UGH my KINGS from Linkin Park all being perfectly rational + intelligent about the election.

TRUMP AND THE WORLD BEYOND THE MUTE BUTTON
I was planning to lay low after the election. Not sure what it’s been like where you live, but it’s been extra intense around here in LA. But then I saw this: https://twitter.com/Jesslovesutoo/st...81297082449924
…and I thought, OK, I’ll bite.
First, here’s where I’m coming from. My mom is a coal miner’s daughter. She lived on a tiny farm off a dirt road in the hills of West Virginia. My grandfather drove all over the county in his truck, picking up his fellow Republicans who didn’t have cars, and drove them to the polls so they could vote.
My dad’s father immigrated here from Japan, had a huge family, and built a substantial business in California…until all the Japanese on the west coast were interned / imprisoned during World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_9066 (For the record, in 1988 the US government issued a public apology and paid restitution to the families affected, stating “the internment was caused by racial prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.”)
I’m the product of families on both sides of the aisle, two vastly different cultures and life experiences. And looking at this election through that lens, I was wondering what to do next.
Today, one thing we all have in common is, we’re all insulated. Think about the things you look at online, your “feed.” Google AdSense and Facebook have created bubbles around each of us: every day, algorithms like theirs are set up to show you things you already like or believe. You are served a steady feed of things like you. Which means it’s less likely you see things that are foreign to you or in opposition to you. This affects your perception of everything: Kanye, Star Wars, Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, Black Lives Matter, Bernie, Hillary, Trump…everything. Anything or anyone you don’t like will get slowly filtered out, reframed, muted.
The first step is to realize that the real world lies beyond your mute button.
This election gave us an awareness of the world outside our normal “feed” in a big way. And now that the mute buttons are off, let’s be cautious in turning them back on. We have opportunities right now.
If you were against Trump, your opportunity is to show grace. Show you are not a sore loser. Realize people voted for Trump in spite of the awful things he said, not because of them. “Make America Great Again” really means “we do not like the speed and direction in which things are changing." Half the country just hit its brakes…because change is hard. It’s your job to be patient and understanding.
If you supported Trump, remember: as much as nobody likes a sore loser, people REALLY can’t stand a smug winner. If you’re going to lead, you have to build trust and respect. And most importantly, realize that those who opposed Trump are concerned that his supporters—half the country—might be racist, sexist, homophobic, or xenophobic. You are not those things. Prove it.
In the end (lol, I feel like I’m never allowed to say those three words. Anyway) you have an opportunity, during this un-muted, “peaceful transition” to what you never get to do online. Find people who are different from you, and build community. Try listening instead of talking. Stop copping out and saying the other side is stupid, misinformed, or misguided. Because even if that’s true, the only way to fix it would be through communication. And if we can do that, and agree on a human level, we’ll all be united when we tell our representatives what to do next.
Talk soon,

PS: I know some of you will want to comment below. In the spirit of this post, please keep it positive. If I don't see empathy or compassion in what you write, you're doing it wrong.
Imagine being a rat-faced, money-obsessed loser who only speaks up when it is personally convenient. Imagine saying things like "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women" and being completely silent as a racist rapist takes the highest position in your country.
She's a crackhead hoe and seems fun even if you have to put up with her ego and insecurities.
