I only know 3 artists from this list

Since when Katy is country, it's so out of place

Morgan Wallen? No thank u

[Dr Fudge 8,625]

She’s probably singing with Thomas Rhett on their collab.

[Rebel 5,221]

I’m afraid it’s too late for her Joanneification for a Shallow comeback

Katy's career trajectory:  Christian Rock >> Pop >> Country >> Christian Rock again

Honestly, country pop is not a bad lane for her. Like Jessica Simpson's Come On Over. It would allow her to transition to slightly more mature acoustic pop music and lessen the cheesy kid show theatrics.

I can see her taking that route tbh it has been a long time coming since Who You Love!
