There were by-elections in the United States on Tuesday, and on that occasion there are several people who shared posts on social media in which they both show they cast their vote and at the same time encourage others to do the same. And this also applies to celebrities.
Create headache: – Scary!
Pop star Katy Perry (38) is one of those who did exactly that, for which she is now receiving strong criticism. It is written, among others, by Danes BT
In a photo that the artist shared on her Instagram account, from the voting booth, the 38-year-old shows that she is voting for billionaire Rick J. Caruso (63).
Under the photo, the star writes to vote for a variety of reasons, but mostly “because Los Angeles is chaos right now”.
Previously Caruso was a Republican, but in January he changed membership in the party and became a Democrat. Before that, he showed his support for Republican candidates for several years and is also said to have donated just under a million dollars – which equates to NOK 10.2 million – to Senator Mitch McConnell and former president. George W. Bush. Both controversial because they supported anti-abortion policies.
Perry’s vote got fans reacting, with many angry at the “I Kissed a Girl” singer.
Comedian Travon Free is one of those who criticize the 38-year-old and took to Twitter to express his opinion.
“No matter how hard the right tries to twist it, Katy Perry’s vote for Rick Caruso is indicative of nothing more than a wealthy white woman voting for a fake Democrat. This will have no impact on her life, but it will make that of others worse.

“Katy Perry sharing a call to vote while she herself voted for Rick Caruso would be objectively funny if she wasn’t painfully stupid,” writes another, while a third expresses disappointment.
“I am so incredibly disappointed that Katy Perry is voting for Rick Caruso as mayor of Los Angeles.”
Some also find it hard to believe what Perry actually shared.
“I can’t believe this is real.”
While criticism rains on the songbird, she has chosen to close the comment field under the aforementioned Instagram post.

This isn’t even the first time he’s letting his fans know where he is politically. In June, she tweeted “RICK CARUSO FTW (for the win, ed)” and even then she was met with criticism.
Perry has so far not commented on the storm of criticism.
