HighwayFantasy 2,015 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I really really like it. Its sort of a bittersweet visual, a sad smiling clown-themed cover with a good choice of colors, hiërarchie and font-shape. Its very conceptual and thus maybe not likable for everyone, but I really see it became an iconic cover. Cant wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookerDotGov 532 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 So, I honestly like the thought of a circus aesthetic or underlying theme. It could be very campy and hit a lot of different notes musically (bangers, ballads, etc.). The theme just seems so out of left-field with Daisies as the lead single and the visuals that have supported the song. I think that's my main issue with the aesthetic. While I don't think the cover is terrible...it seems too simple and not in a minimalist way. Katy always tries to be campy, but it never really comes off well.

ModernEcstasy 8,920 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I actually LOVE this cover. She looks so pretty and I’m interested in the circus/clown theme. I hope there are more “Never really Over” style bops on the album. Perched!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fonts are hideous but the photo is GORGEOUS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when she has attempted camp before (SWISH, SWISH) video it wasn't effortless and came off as a cringy, try-hard. So...hopefully she keeps her visual aesthetic tight this era (which is why I'm already confused about the Daises lead...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witness aged like absolute milk. I liked it when it first came out and I can’t even listen now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lextyr97 19,677 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Are people really, like REALLY trying to give her credit for this sad clown aesthetic as if it’s something new... Joker? Madonna’s Tears of a Clown tour? The damn clown from Toy Story? I’m not trying to say the concept sucks or that it’s “reductive,” but people are really trying to make this out to be some sophisticated theme that’s rarely been tackled before... lmao Anyways, I kinda wish there wasn’t any text at all and just her. Idk she looks great but nothing else does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
