I didn't see it as blackface I saw it as Egyptian themed or whatever Dark Horse is 

The K.P logo is also an eye isn't it? So it is based on that. Something being black doesn't make it black face. Especially when it's a shoe.

They are ugly, but they are not blackface.

She and her team are DUMB dumb. And the shoe was ugly too so what was the point.

it doesn't even look like blackface!! this poor girl cant catch a break.

Blackface?

It looks like ****ing Mr. And Mrs. Potato Head, what are these people's problem?

They were going to get pulled from stores eventually anyway because I'm guessing that nobody would buy such an ugly shoe

People being pressed again.....smh

Katy has just dethroned Gaga as queen of controversy

not black face but still ugly af

also, are we going to believe a TMZ exclusive lmao

[Red 62,091]

Does she have a PR team?

Poor girl can’t catch a break, can she?

truthfully I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the shoes, yeah they have an odd design but they kind of fit the theme of Dark Horse and the Witness tour. I don’t think Katy would intentionally blackface a pair of shoes.

Saw this coming and people on Facebook and Twitter blocked me for saying it weeks ago

The bright red lips against the black of the shoe is very reminiscent of the racist caricatures of black people made for decades. Even though there isn’t a doubt in my mind there was no malicious intent here her team should have used their brains to see it was a poor design choice. I don’t feel bad for this dragging at all. They practically begged for it.

Lol some people are really sensitive nowadays.....

Those who really need slamming like Ariana Grande ,however, are safe and fine with tons of social media stans.

Imagine Katy releasing Dark Horse in 2019.

We’re not surprised lmao. As soon as I saw it I hoped there wasn’t a black version.
