Katy Perry Responds to Criticism of New Video for “Woman’s World” on Social Media

Pop superstar Katy Perry has responded to criticism of her new music video for the song “Woman’s World” in a post on social media. The video, which was released on Thursday along with the song, received backlash for allegedly catering to the male gaze and straying from its empowering message.

In a behind-the-scenes clip shared by Perry, she explained her rationale behind the controversial moments in the video, including gratuitous body shots, suggestive scenes, and a moment where she refuels by shoving a gas nozzle into her butt. Perry defended the video as being sarcastic and slapstick, emphasizing that it was meant to be a playful commentary on gender norms.

Despite the backlash, Perry is standing by her creative choices for “Woman’s World,” which is the first single from her upcoming album “143.” The album, set to be released soon, aims to celebrate love and showcase bold dance-pop music. Perry has reunited with collaborators such as Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Stargate for this project, but their involvement has also sparked controversy, especially given the song’s theme of female empowerment.

With her unapologetic response to criticism, Katy Perry is once again proving that she is not afraid to push boundaries and challenge conventional norms in the music industry. Stay tuned for more updates on her upcoming album and the reception of “Woman’s World.”
