Meanwhile, Mexico City vibrates with the emotion of receiving two of the maximum exponents of contemporary pop.
-The concerts of both promise to be spectacular, with imposing scenarios, first -level visual effects and, of course, unforgettable interpretations of the successes that have marked a whole generation.
What caused its rivalry?
Regarding the dispute that both have had throughout their professional career. In 2008, the two artists made their debut: Lady Gaga did it with the simple Just Dance that is part of the album The Fame. Katy Perry with I Kissed to Girl, from Album One for the Boys. Only 20 days separate one premiere from the other. During these years, when American pop music ran out of heavyweights, such as Britney Spears or Backstreet Boys, Perry and Gaga possessed the qualities to become the representatives of the new pop, called recession pop.
The rivalry between them began at a train station in Marseille, France in 2008. The moment, recorded by a paparazzi, captures the first meeting between the interpreters. Katy Perry walks on the platform and asks with sarcasm why no one portrays Gaga. “Do you know Lady Gaga? It’s like the new Madonna, but better,” said the Californian, but fans took him in a mockery. For its part, New York approaches with Perry, shakes his hand and confesses to being a great admirer. They walk together a few more meters and say goodbye. Gaga left Marseille, Perry had barely arrived.
Subsequently to that meeting, in an interview for Canadian television, Lady Gaga was questioned about what she thought about I kissed a girlthe greatest success of Katy Perry. The artist took a few seconds to answer. “Well … I think she has never kissed a girl,” he says seriously and proceeds, “I am a fan of all the music, the successes, of the pop songs. But I do not make music to reach the gay community. I am simply what I am.”
The tension came again in 2013. Both prepared the launch of two singles, but a series of leaks caused the premiere dates to change. Lady Gaga postponed the debut of Applausewhile Katy Perry advanced Raar. The two songs were published on August 12. Two weeks later, the 30th delivery of the MTVV Video Music Awards (MTV music videos awards), also known as VMA’s. The singers were part of the live show and each performed their most recent songs. Katy Perry closed the event on a stage similar to a boxing quadrilateral. At the end of the presentation, he lifted the belt with which he proclaimed world champion, while two hostesses held a poster in which Game Over was read (end of the game).
In those years, Katy Perry was at the top of his career and for 2015 he was in charge of the Super Bowl XLIX part -time show. In contrast, Lady Gaga was about to retire from the world of music after the premiere of the album Art pop In 2013, which was very badly received by critics. Then the papers invested. Katy Perry suffered a fall in her popularity, while Gaga appeared at the Super Bowl XLI in 2017, two years after Perry. In 2019, New York took a Grammy, an Oscar, a Bafta and a Golden Globe, all the same year. The last attack in this rivalry will be based on the Mexican capital.
The fans also remembered that Katy suddenly began to dress “eccentric,” made a music with alien theme, painted her hair green and reached a red carpet mounted on horseback, it came out whipped cream of the support instead of fireworks, etc. Katy also criticized the video of Alejandro And he considered it “blasphemy.” This caused a lot of tension between the fandoms and when Roar y Applause They left almost at the same time, a pitched battle between fans was armed.
Another controversy arose when the judicial documents of Kesha’s case were leaked, revealing that Gaga told Kesha that Katy was “bad”, due to Kesha’s judicial case, which caused Gaga to enter a stress/trauma -induced psychosis due to his own aggression and Katy continues to work with Dr. Luke.
