It can't be shade since that post was written by a Louis Tomlinson and Taylor Swift stan, two of the most tragic singers of this generation.

I won't sit down here and defend her cause it won't change a thing, but I'll let these three quotes from Billboard and U.S weekly soak in:

Risk-taking songstress Katy Perry, who is best known for her breakout single "I Kissed a Girl," wasn't always so naughty.

However, "PRISM" also finds Perry taking some well-earned risks

Not many pop performers would use the line "You PMS like a bitch I would know" in the opening verse of a hook-filled anthem, but then again, not many pop performers take Katy Perry's risks.

Not song lyrics, while she's know for not being a writer but more of a singer, being a risk now.

Yeah, cuz for real singers dedicating their lives to music instead of a safe job is quite risky. But if is Katy a singer that leaves space for uncertainty. Maybe more.Not saying anything though.

She did take a big risk working together with DrLuke. Who can even imagine the things she has gotten from him, besides sticky-in-ear white bubbly pop hits?

[Crank_It_Up]

I like her but let's be real, she has not really taken any risks in the terms of her career. She's formulaic and does the same thing every time. There's nothing really exciting about her that makes her stand out. Again, don't get me wrong, I do like her. I adored her during the OOTB and TD eras but with Prism I was disappointed with her lack of artistic growth. Here's to hoping her next era will show some growth instead of being reductive.

I think releasing Wide Awake was quite risky cause shes known and famous for her colorful music videos and bubblegum pop songs. This video and song are both very dark.

Many Gaga stans site the lyrics to BTW as a huge risk.

[Aleks]

Superbowl is the biggest risk she's taken so far. The potential backfire could easily end her career for good.

2 of these quotes are from the Ootb era where she was kinda risky (i said she was on the Op) and the other one says that somewhere in Prism hiding between funny and bublegum lyrics you can find some risky stuff (that she probably will never release as official singles)...

Are we discussing Gaga here?
Do you wish a flamebait point?

That is because those lyrics where truly Warholian genius. Katy ha songwriters cannot think of those. PMS is just a simple abbreavtion compared to naming some of the LGBT community in the most iconic magnificent #1 of the decade.

[Marq]

Honestly, no. She's always been a safe artist, and even the bolder things she's done have been pretty safe in actuality. They just seem riskier in comparison to the other things she's done.

A pretty girl singing about having kissed a girl is not a risk.

Wide awake- Dance Pop as of Wiki. Produced by Max Martin.
Oh my god, the fact that someone finds that song risk worthy. Omg
It's a perfectly tailored for radio success song

[Aurora]

Ew @ all this expected and weak shade. These gurls need to step it up.

No, Katy is risk-free. No need to take a risk when everything you do slays anyway.

[2014]

No.

Old producer..............old music.

her roar, dark horse could have ended up on TD easily. where's her creative difference? basically the same songs as the ones on TD.

yea she works with DR luke, i stan for Gaga DJWS sometimes sucks but DWUW >>

yeah

Lol hun you asked for a real risk, don't start time framing things now. But since you asked

“Dark Horse” was produced by professional hitmakers Dr. Luke and Max Martin, and though Perry doesn’t actually rap on the song (Juicy J handles that part), she does sing over top high-pitched synths and drum loops. On first listen it’s not as immediately grabbing as lead single “Roar”, but Perry has the luxury of taking a few risks following eight number one singles.
