Katy thought she was above being campy anymore and showing us ha big balloons.
So she went for something that was foolish and paid the price.
She literally could be closing her era out right now had she done it right
Roar right let it run its course until Aug-nov release WOA as promo single.
Dark Horse right
This is how we do f/ Iggy
Birthday with regular campy video with some teenage boy fantasy and at the end it appears she's showing off her big balloons except something silly happens
Legendary Lovers f/Drake
Choose your battles just because 
close with double rainbow/by the grace of Katy

Flawless era tbh
I'm not a Katy stan but This Is How We Do is perfection, it was my summer song last year. The Iggy feature would have been ideal with Fancy smashing at the time rather than Riff Raff. Plus, Legendary Lovers could've gained streams due to cultural appropriation
What made me even more pressed about Birthday flopping was the fact that Maroon 5 basically copied its tragic video, replaced Birthday parties with weddings and got a smash hit from it.
Gold top17 smash hit though remains unbothered 
At least it cracked into the top20
