People said she would be a 1 hit wonder with 'I Kissed A Girl,' yet she proved them wrong when both 'Hot N Cold' & 'Waking Up In Vegas' were top ten hits from One of the Boys.

After that, she released Teenage Dream which spurred 5 #1 singles, tying Michael Jackson's record. Lots of people were saying this was/would be her peak.

Yet she returned with PRISM. When 'Roar' came out and went #1 shortly after, people also said that it only was only successful because she was 'still riding off the success of Teenage Dream ' Unconditionally, despite it only being a holiday buzz single, still performed well, peaking at #14 on the Hot 100 respectively. Now shes back on top with 'Dark Horse.'

All of her albums have sold fairly well also. One of the Boys has sold 5,000,000+ WW, Teenage Dream 6,000,000+, and PRISM is a little over 2,250,000 right now. Teenage Dream and PRISM were also #1 albums in multiple countries around the world.

I should also mention that shes the most followed person on Twitter, with over 50.1 million followers. She also has over 63.4 million fans on Facebook. Clearly people aren't tired of or over her.

People continue to underestimate every move she makes, but ultimately she ends up with the last laugh.

So, why do you think people keep underestimating her?

[Legend E]

Oh please honey. If anything, Katy is overestimated as hell

[BlueTimberwolf]

No one underestimates her singles wise. People underestimate the QUALITY of her music

[pabloanxiety]

Jealousy

[Buddy!]

I think it comes down to her own doings. People think she is childish(no shade), or trys to appeal to more of the younger generation(which isnt a lie). Her songs arent risky is any sense. But she does always have the last laugh.

[BlueTimberwolf]

Plus, her performances are never as good as they are hyped up to be. Almost never

[Pop]

Because regardless of the charts positions, some of us still think she is not particularly talented at singing, songwriting or performing. her personality is also quite bland.

This is not shade, I'm just trying to explain why I "underestimate" her regardless of her commercial success. I just don't think she's particularly interesting or memorable as an artist or as a public persona.

No way. This album is at 3 million+

They want her to fail like their faves.

[bluth]

For me it's mostly because I hear and see her work and don't find anything that warrants receiving [large] success

[katara]

One of the boys sold 3M copies.

[Dickard]

the inflation

[Reaper]

If you mean here in atrl then that's because some of them are pressed that their own fave is flopping while Katy is still constantly successful or see Katy as a threat to their fave. That's why people here always try to bring her down and deny her achievements with some stale shade.

[Benghazi82]

People can't stand her success. She is the very epitome of a dark horse. NOBODY saw her coming, and now she's turned into the perfect storm, just roaring up the charts effortlessly.

Actually, only ATRL really underestimates her. Because this is a forum of stans, and Katy obviously had very little stans from the very beginning, and her career heavily relied on the GP. She gets underestimated here, but gets quite the audience and distinction outside of these silly fan bases.

before you make something like this make sure you have the correct numbers

[Music=Epicness]

Stop paying Uncle Dust! It was single and it flopped. Oh well It Happens. This "Holiday buzz single" mess needs to stop and my Kats need to just accept it. Besides, Dark Horse is gonna do enough slaying to make up for Roar and Uncle <3

No one underestimates her power, it's more like she's too overrated with the quality of music, vocal, performance she releases. Her commercial success does not match up with who she actually is
