Summary

Before TikTok trends and AI pop stars, there was Katy Perry, our Teenage Dream in a technicolor fever dream. In this episode, we take a glitter-drenched walk down memory lane to revisit the era of blue wigs, all her famous juicy relationships, whipped cream cannons, and that unforgettable Taylor Swift drama. Was it camp? Was it chaos? Was it genius? We’re unpacking the legacy of one of pop’s most delightfully bizarre icons, and wondering how we ever survived the 2010s without questioning the cupcake bra.
