Alright, buckle up, buttercups 🌼, because we’re diving headfirst into the DRAMA 🎭 that is Katy Perry and her sudden amnesia about her own singing voice. Apparently, the queen of left shark 🦈 thinks she never sounded like a strangled cat 🐈 in her early days. Let’s unpack this mess, shall we?
So, you know, back in the day when dinosaurs 🦖 roamed the earth and Katy Perry wasn’t just a purveyor of overly-sweet pop confections 🍭, she tried to be all edgy and “indie” (air quotes, people, air quotes!). We’re talking *One of the Boys* era, where she was clearly trying to channel her inner Alanis Morissette but mostly just ended up sounding like someone gargling gravel. But hey, at least she was trying, right? (Wrong.)
And then there’s “Thinking of You,” the ballad so tear-jerking 😭 it could probably power a small hydroelectric dam. It was all about regretting letting some dude go, and it featured a music video that was basically a rejected scene from a World War II movie. But the real star of the show? Katy’s voice, which was, shall we say, “unique.”
Fast forward to 2024, and suddenly, “Thinking of You” is having a renaissance on TikTok! 🕺💃 Kids these days are discovering the song and having a good laugh 😂 at Katy’s dramatic vocal stylings. They’re lip-syncing to the “Indian summer in the middle of winter” line and mocking her word-chewing enunciation. Honestly, it’s the most fun anyone’s had with a Katy Perry song since… well, since “I Kissed a Girl” was considered groundbreaking. 💋
But here’s where things get spicy 🌶️. Katy Perry, bless her heart, is NOT amused. During her “Lifetimes Tour” (which, let’s be honest, sounds like a retirement home gig 👵👴), she actually stopped singing “Thinking of You” mid-performance to declare, “I don’t sing like that!” Oh honey, denial is a river in Egypt 🇪🇬. We all have ears, Katy. We’ve all heard the song. You DO sing like that.
And the best part? When she tried to sing it “correctly,” she sounded EXACTLY THE SAME. It’s like she’s living in an alternate reality where she’s always been a pitch-perfect goddess 🎤. Girl, please. We’ve all seen the receipts 🧾. The internet never forgets.
The comments section on TikTok is a goldmine 💰. Fans are basically telling Katy to embrace the meme and stop being so sensitive. “Why would she not lean into it?” one person asked. “It’s like the one positive trend she has going right now (and she doesn’t sound bad).” (Debatable.)
“Beefing with us about how SHE sang her song,” another person joked. “I swear she dodges every opportunity thrown at her to redeem herself. The song is trending right now… Why not just have a nice moment with your audience?” Exactly! Katy, honey, take a chill pill 💊 and laugh at yourself. It’s good for the soul.
“That is exactly how the song sounds! You did sing like that,” someone else wrote. The people have spoken! Case closed 💼.
Honestly, this whole situation is just peak Katy Perry. She’s always been a bit of a walking meme, and this is just another chapter in her glorious, chaotic reign. So, Katy, if you’re reading this (and we know you are 👀), just embrace the “Thinking of You” TikTok trend. It’s better than people talking about your space trip 🚀 or your questionable dance moves 💃.
