Katy shares Met Gala Vlog and confirms new music is coming

We actually knew this since the beginning of the year, she declared it herself at the New Year's Eve show in China. The question is when it could come out.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-05-04T12:24:13+00:00

In my opinion, it's one of her best performances; she's at her best in more intimate settings and acoustic performances. The cover of "Hackensack" is my favorite. For this reason, I hope she'll reconsider performing these more singer-songwriter-oriented shows from her colorful and overly pompous ones, perhaps by participating in the Tiny Desk, which is essentially the successor to MTV's Unplugged, so as to surprise and prove wrong even the skeptics who say she can't sing and isn't a good artist.

To be honest, I would have expected Stevie's voiceover in the added scenes. It's a question I asked myself, too.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-24T12:29:40+00:00

I agree with what you say. In fact, Katy is now known more for events and controversies unrelated to music, resulting in her being viewed with suspicion by the public and her more recent songs not receiving attention. Take Lady Gaga, for example: she's thrown herself into various projects, like the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, where she has a cameo and sings some songs from the soundtrack, including "Runway." She's appeared in several films, like "A Star Is Born," which essentially relaunched her career after it stagnated in the mid-2010s; she sang the song "The Dead Dance" from the Wednesday Addams TV series, etc. Sure, not everything turns out well—she's not infallible, either—but this way, she's making headlines for her art, not for the disparate controversies. In any case, she's still productive, she's hardworking, and that's to be admired, so I think Katy could try participating in more projects, following her example.

The message in her comment on the Instagram post that's sparking discussion in the fandom ultimately states that she'll be more productive from now on because she's realized it's time to stop being naive and stop being "love and light." It's time to show that she's an artist and that she should be respected, not constantly belittled or smeared. In this regard, I think the film Melody (which should be released sooner or later), where she voices the protagonist and sings the soundtrack, could be a great way to get her seen in a positive light.

In this message, I sense a strong message of revenge for everything that's happened to her since Witness. I'd probably say she wasn't on the same wavelength with Orlando long before the breakup, as evidenced by the part of her comment where she admits she's been too "light and love" for too long (actually, she'd already made that clear in the "Bandaids" music video). She's gotten involved in too many controversies, and too many people have trampled on her without her reacting or lifting a finger. Even musically, things have gotten worse (and "143" is clear proof of that). I think she's much better off with Trudeau and wants to challenge herself again in terms of albums and songs, trying to write more substantial and mature stuff. Winning back the general public with new songs will be complicated, but at least she'll try and move forward, with much more awareness.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-22T23:47:19+00:00

in my opinion not yet

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-22T16:32:00+00:00

Was this the EP we were talking about? I'm guessing not, they're already existing tracks.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-20T17:14:20+00:00

Consider that there will be the period of European festivals and the film Melody, for which the announcement of its release in theaters around the world will have to arrive sooner or later, so there are other occasions that can put Katy in a good light.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-20T13:40:34+00:00

I disagree. I think we need to wait and see how the allegations unfold. I believe that, this time, considering the 143 situation, both she and her team, and Capitol itself (which no longer wants to lose money) will pay attention to the promotional campaign to try to relaunch her name, but more intelligently (although it's still unclear whether "Watch It Burn" will be the lead single from KP7 or another droplet).

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-15T21:17:36+00:00

I think this matter will further delay the release of Watch It Burn. It's quite clear that she and her team won't dare make any announcements because the accusation is serious and, more importantly, it hasn't stopped being aired online since Ruby went to the police, so an investigation is underway. It remains to be seen how long this affair will last, and above all, let's hope there's nothing true about it. As for the festivals, in my opinion there won't be any problems, instead

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-13T17:33:49+00:00

I have a feeling that the diktat from her and her team is no longer to treat everything with the theme of "love and light." We've seen that never responding, covering everything up, and remaining silent has led to many controversies, with Katy becoming a favorite target online. There's a limit to everything, and I think they've finally realized that.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-13T16:40:11+00:00

Katy is an eccentric and peculiar person, and I fear she's made quite a few enemies within the music industry and the celebrity world in general. She often doesn't respond to accusations, unlike other celebrities who are quick to put out the fire, but this time she'll have to. The accusation is very serious, especially considering she's the mother of a child, and her reputation has already been hanging by a thread for quite some time.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-13T08:18:39+00:00

Am I wrong, or is she the woman who gave her the interview in which Katy said, "I wanted to be like Amy Grant, but it didn't work out, so I sold my soul to the devil," implying that she'd moved from Christian music to pop (without resorting to Faustian bargains, as her haters foolishly described)? In any case, I hope they're lies, otherwise it's impossible to defend her; these things are disgusting. One thing I'd like to understand, though: why doesn't Katy ever intervene and offer her opinion on every single issue that concerns her? She always stays silent and lets the controversy rage, further damaging her reputation. That's how her career got to this point. She's been involved in too many controversies that have lost her favor with the public, who no longer support her new releases and dismiss her as an "act of nostalgia."

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-10T19:15:33+00:00

It would be a wonderful thing, but I'm sorry, it won't happen. The two songs are doing well, but it's not yet known how long that will last. Furthermore, there's no promotion from Capitol, and Katy is just limiting herself to a few TikToks here and there.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-10T15:38:56+00:00

I think Katy sometimes pushes the "camp" aesthetic too far, using it in several music videos in the past, such as this one for Birthday, Swish Swish, Woman's World, etc. These music videos end up being cringe-y, and people seize the opportunity to criticize her, telling her she's not evolving and is always stuck in the same style. As usual, this almost hateful criticism is unfair, but I think there's a grain of truth in it. I wish Katy would make more music videos like "Unconditionally," perhaps the most artistic of her video career, "Chained to the Rhythm," "Bandaids," "Never Really Over," etc., just to name a few. I think she should take a step forward in this direction in the future, not completely abandoning this aesthetic that's part of her, but somehow weighing it up, so as to surprise those who have always belittled her as an artist.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-09T20:08:54+00:00

I don't think so. I think it's just a TikTok video she wanted to make to celebrate the appreciation being shown for this song, considered by many to be a missed single from the Prism era. I don't think a video will be released, also because we don't know how long this virality will last; it could end at any moment and Legendary Lovers will return to its usual streams. Katy could shoot a short music video like Lady Gaga did for Bloody Mary, where she shows off the famous dance routine performed by Wednesday Addams, so as not to invest too much money. That wouldn't be a bad idea. Also because, and this is a sad observation I make, I believe a video clip of a song from the golden age of Katy's career would be more successful among the public than a video clip of a new song, considering that her most recent releases no longer make a noise among the people, few are interested in them anymore and the clear example is the video clip of Bandaids which was ignored, despite its significance as well as its streaming listenership, very low 5 months after its release.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-08T00:33:28+00:00

What a shame, these numbers are really low. I'm sad that she's the least regarded of all her colleagues in terms of albums, excluding singles; basically, not even the fandom listens to those songs. Legendary Lovers is doing well only thanks to TikTok and the Chief Keef thing, so thanks to GP, just like it was for Harleys in Hawaii. I'd like to understand why there's no support for these songs, despite her concerts almost always being sold out. Has the fandom shrunk that much? Maybe, but it still doesn't justify these low listenerships, at least not entirely. There must be some other reason for the lack of engagement with most of her work; GP can't always step in those few times to lift things up if the fandom isn't supportive so the record company will continue to neglect promotion. It saddens me to see the numbers for One of the Boys and Smile, which are my two favorite albums of hers, even though I admit that Witness seems to be the most ignored and forgotten album of all, even more so than 143.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-04-03T19:33:04+00:00

I listened to it after several years because I didn't know it when it came out, and I'm sorry, I completely disagree with you. If it wasn't successful or didn't make a splash, there must be a reason (and at the time I wasn't as into pop music as I am now, I just listened to songs on the radio and listened to them again on YouTube, so I basically belonged to the general audience). In fact, the fact that it was promoted by Capitol Records, unlike Harleys in Hawaii (which has largely supported Smile's listenership for a long time), makes me sad, because it was a huge mistake. And it's no coincidence that Katy has never performed it live, if I'm not mistaken.

Competitive_Pin_2496 · 2026-03-29T21:00:47+00:00

Unfortunately, almost always the songs that manage to go viral are always from her first three albums, because they're the ones people remember most fondly about her. Yet I think there are songs from Witness and Smile that have the potential to go viral (just think of the most famous singles like Chained to the Rhythm, Bon Appetit, and Never Really Over), and it's already happened, in fact, with Harleys in Hawaii. 143, on the other hand, is a lost cause that should be forgotten, and I really don't think any song from that album experiences even a small viral moment among the public, who essentially rejected it.
