Beyonce know she's not huge in the chart or single department which is why she spends all her energy on her album releases and tours to make an era seem bigger than it is. Actually kind of smart, tbh.
Critics are intimidated by Katy's beauty and rotund, supple breasts.
It's why they give Kesha, Taylor, and Carly Rae higher scores for releasing the same songs Katy would. Lol The bias is funny tho cause her longevity has proven that she's here to stay.
