I’m a Human Piñata

BBG News

Katy Perry referred to herself as a “human piñata” after she faced repeated teasing on the internet following the space voyage arranged by Jeff Bezos and his company, Blue Origin.

The latest tour of the pop star is frequently featured in numerous memes, as she seems to deliver a string of performances that are unusually melancholic, which appears to be out of character for her.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it this way: Apparently, the emotional outburst penned by the Firework singer under a fan group’s post on Instagram was her response to her critics, a heartfelt expression of her feelings towards them.

Katy, 40, hit out at the internet as ‘a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed’

As a lifestyle expert, let me assure you that I’m thriving, having dedicated considerable effort to understanding my identity, discerning reality from illusion, and prioritizing what truly matters in my life.

‘My therapist once told me something that has been incredibly impactful, “no one can force beliefs about yourself upon you that aren’t already ingrained within you.” Whenever I encounter feelings related to this topic, it serves as an opportunity for me to delve deeper and explore the underlying emotions.’

If the digital realm seems to treat me like a pinata, I respond with dignity and offer kindness, because I understand that countless individuals are struggling in various ways, and the internet can often serve as a venue for those who are emotionally raw and unsettled.

‘I can continue to remain true to myself, heart open and honest especially because of our bond.’

She stated: ‘I’m not flawless, and I don’t use that term anymore. I view myself as a human embarking on a life journey, playing this game with a wide-ranging audience. Sometimes I stumble, but I always get back up and continue to play. Somehow, amidst the bruises and hardships of my adventure, I keep seeking the light. And it is in that light that I find new levels unlocking.’

Later on, Katy faced criticism regarding her role in the all-woman Blue Origin space voyage, where she sang “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong to her fellow travelers and displayed her upcoming tour’s setlist to a camera inside the spacecraft.

The women found themselves criticized, as they participated in a brief and costly vacation during financial hardship, alongside Gayle King and the fiancée of Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez. They were perceived to be insensitive to the economic difficulties at hand.

One commentator was British singer Lily Allen, who expressed about the journey: “Should we discuss Katy Perry and her friends traveling to space for 12 minutes? Honestly, I’m puzzled. What’s the purpose behind it?” In essence, she is questioning the rationale and significance of this space trip.

She stated: ‘We’re very close to a recession, and many people are finding it extremely challenging to cover their expenses and ensure they have enough food.’

Nonetheless, singer Lily Allen issued an apology this week regarding her previous comments about Katy Perry. Although Allen maintained her disagreement with Perry’s actions, she acknowledged that it wasn’t appropriate to add fuel to the criticism directed towards the singer.

On her podcast, she expressed, “Last week, I feel I was unnecessarily harsh towards Katy Perry. In hindsight, I should have avoided mentioning her name, as it stemmed from my own unconscious bias against women.

I’ve given it a lot of thought and I believe it was uncalled for to add to her troubles. Moreover, while I don’t agree with their actions, she wasn’t the only one who acted that way.

Previously, I, being the devoted follower, disclosed the genuine cause behind my less-than-stellar recent concert performances. This setback was attributable to an issue with my vocals.

In a behind-the-scenes video shared on Instagram from Mexico, Perry mentioned that she’s been dealing with some issues with her voice recently, battling a flu-like illness.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I must acknowledge that the subject of my discussions is currently under intense public scrutiny, particularly with regards to her upcoming Lifetimes Tour. Despite the excitement surrounding this tour’s launch, there seems to be a challenge in generating ticket sales for the U.S. dates, which are set to commence in Houston, Texas, just two weeks from now. It’s an intriguing situation that I find myself closely monitoring and discussing with my followers.

The vocalist faced criticism for her participation in Jeff Bezos’ expensive and environmentally questionable all-women mission by Blue Origin, a space flight that has sparked controversy.

During the 11-minute trip, Perry attracted some criticism by serenading other passengers and planting a kiss on the ground upon arrival.
