Ur So Gay2K Katy Perry
1h 3m
Grab your cherry chapstick, because this week on Gay2k, Sarah and John-Paul are talking about one of the most legendary—and deeply complicated—pop girls of our generation: Katy Perry.
In this episode, the hosts dive headfirst into the late-2000s and early-2010s to explore the duality of the Katy Perry experience. On one hand, she gave the gays everything: undeniable camp, massive pop anthems, Left Shark, and the literal cultural reset that was the Teenage Dream era. But on the other hand, we have to talk about the elephant in the room.
Sarah and John-Paul candidly unpack the "troubling" aspects of the singer's meteoric rise. It’s a nostalgic, messy, and hilarious journey through a pop culture moment where the lines between allyship, appropriation, and absolute bangers were wildly blurred.
