Katy Perry recently made headlines when she was spotted in Barcelona filming a new music video. The 39-year-old singer was seen in a variety of eye-catching and somewhat puzzling positions, leading many to wonder what the video would be about.
The video shoot was for her comeback single, "Woman's World," which unfortunately did not receive the positive reception Katy was hoping for. In fact, it was described as going down like a "lead balloon." But instead of letting the criticism bring her down, Katy seemed to embrace it by dressing as a parachute in the music video.
She was joined by a stuntman who helped her with some aerial acrobatics, and even bore a striking resemblance to her husband, Orlando Bloom. The two were seen performing daring stunts, with the stuntman supporting Katy as she dangled upside down and even helping her when her costume seemed to swallow her whole.
But it wasn't all just gravity-defying moves. In some scenes, Katy was seen in a more casual attire, sporting bicycle shorts, an oversized hoodie, and a bright orange hat. Despite the mixed reactions to her last music video, "Woman's World," Katy seemed unfazed as she continued to film her new video, reportedly for her single "Lifetimes."
However, the negative response to "Woman's World" was hard to ignore. Critics and viewers alike slammed the video for playing into the male gaze and portraying traditionally masculine jobs with scantily clad women. Some even compared it to a parody or a song they would sing to their cats on TikTok.
In an attempt to address the backlash, Katy claimed on social media that the video was meant to be satire. But this only added fuel to the fire, with many questioning her decision to collaborate with producer Dr. Luke, who was accused of sexually abusing popstar Kesha for years.
Despite the controversy, Katy seemed to brush off the backlash and the underwhelming performance of "Woman's World." On Instagram, she shared a photo from "Planet Unbothered," suggesting that she was unbothered by the criticism.
"Woman's World" is the first single from Katy's seventh studio album, titled "143," set to be released on September 20, just a month before her 40th birthday. With her track record of five number one singles and two number one albums in the UK, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of her new album.
Katy's last album, "Smile," was released in 2020 and coincided with the birth of her daughter, Daisy Dove, with partner Orlando Bloom. Despite landing at number five on the UK albums chart, Katy seemed to have other things on her mind as she embarked on motherhood.
