Katy Perry recently dropped her new single and music video “Woman’s World,” channeling her inner Rosie the Riveter. In the clip, the singer steps into the shoes of this iconic figure, symbolizing female empowerment with a modern twist. The video then sees the “California Gurls” hitmaker becoming a bionic woman and helicoptering off into the sunset.
But the fun stuff doesn’t stop there! Katy Perry and her dancers bring a whole new level of shock value, pretending to use urinals, dancing with vibrators, and even dropping a fierce “I’m Katy Perry” during a TikTok moment. While the music video sees the singer, her dancers, and different cameos having a lot of fun, fans seem to be having mixed reactions to this new era
On one side, some KatyCats (that’s the name Katy Perry fans have) feel enthusiastic about the start of this music journey. For example, one ecstatic fan tweeted, “& that’s how Pop was saved,” while another shouted, “Katy Perry, you’re INSANE for this music video. Yeah, she’s REALLY BACK.”

In contrast, some other viewers aren’t feeling the vibe “Not defending katy perry at all but nostalgia is so crazy bc her new song & video is like… exactly as tacky and bad as the majority of her old stuff,” one critic commented. Another called it out for using girl power in a stereotypical, over-the-top way, saying, “Basically, ew,” proving the track was met with mixed reactions.
not defending katy perry at all but nostalgia is so crazy bc her new song & video is like… exactly as tacky and bad as the majority of her old stuff. the cheap product placement, the cringey cameos… it’s the most katy perry thing she’s done in like 10 years 😭
