Katy Perry

Katy Perry, icon of the millennial generation, is a counterpoint to frivolous pop. With her crazy energy and colorful fantasy, the Californian artist takes the world by storm to the rhythm of unstoppable hits. But one question remains unanswered: how far will it go?

Giant balloons, bubblegum and barbapapa: Katy Perry loves extravagance to the point of catapulting her to the roof of the world. With her ultra-vitaminized and avant-garde pop, her daring outfits and her radio-compatible rebel attitude, the eternal kid from Santa Barbara has become the icon of a generation that defies convention. Yet, his joyful fury stands in sharp contrast to the tidy life that seemed predestined for him. For yes, surprise: Katy Perry, daughter of American pastors, received a strict religious education, far from fantasies, sequins and combi-shorts.

Who would have imagined then, seeing her there, in a neighbourhood gospel choir, that the young woman would, in a flash of time, take the bull by the horns to become the unavoidable hit machine of the beginning of the century? Probably even the most enlightened bookies would have refrained from trying the poker game. But we know: the American dream is not a legend. With her crazy look, her dazzling moves and her love of provocation, the goddess of pop has imposed her style, as if to free herself from a family environment a little too tight for her taste.

She seduced the top of modern pop and American-style rap, becoming the playmate of Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. Madonna fell under her spell and her friend, Rihanna, the crown of praise at every opportunity. If we are the sum of the people we are dating, there is no doubt that Katy Perry goes far beyond the boundaries of normality. In fact, even her worst enemies are classy, as evidenced by her legendary rivalry with singer Taylor Swift. So, yes, we can say it, the pop star hasn't finished taking up space in our hearts.
