The 35-year-old star has expressed her fed up with being constantly compared to other female artists by Internet users. Above all, insists Katy Parry, that male singers are not in competition. A double standard that she no longer tolerates.
As she is expecting her first child, Katy Perry was interviewed by Zane Lowe for the Apple Music podcast. The star denounced the double standard that prevails in the music industry, where women are constantly put into competition in spite of themselves.
Every day, the “Roar” performer receives comments via social networks that compare her to Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and many others. And Katy Perry has had enough of internet users pitting artists against each other.
“What does that mean? “
“We will never see Niall Horan and Shawn Mendes compete. We will never read an article on Ed Sheeran opposed to Justin Bieber. No, we’ll never hear that. But take any female artist and you hear about it every day, ”denounces the singer.
She no longer supports these comments that flow on social networks. “My twitter is: ‘who is better than who? Who is thinner than who? Who has sold more singles than who? ‘ … What does it all mean? Can’t we… just love and enjoy music? “
Competitive, “but not with women”
Still, the artist admits that she loves competition. “I’m competitive, but I’m not competitive with women. I am competitive as far as I want to be successful, where I care about my art and it affects people. “
“But I really want every woman in the music industry to feel supported and loved,” she continues. “That she can speak her truth and carry her message, no matter how many women we are in this industry.” Moreover, to try to change things, Katy Perry revealed that she wanted to “hire more women than men”.
