Who do you think she was refering to?

I don't know. Katy is a product, that's for sure.

I always thought that an artist should create what wants and feels. Some people will like this music, others will not. it has to be honest

with Artsy I think FKA Twigs, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Grimes...but those are doing pretty well...aside from maybe Grimes

she was SO brave when she used to be popular…just for her to be TANKING not even a decade into her career after saying that. karma is a rat in the kitchen of Joanne Trattoria.

The quote isn’t “throwing shade” at artsy singers at all. It’s about finding balance. The full quote is “you can be too arty and lose your audience or you can be too charty and lose your art.”  Finding a balance between being too experimental and losing your audience and being too chart obsessed and not making “art”. I know everyone hates Katy right now but let’s not drag her with made up claims.

Didn’t she come out with a song about female empowerment, yet here she was, years ago, belittling the artistry of other women…she’s just too manufactured and it’s caught up to her.

Karma, Katheryn.

I think it's the opposite? . She's literally saying that if you focus too much on charts, you lose your "art" and your production becomes dishonest. 

The second phrase is relevant to the whole tweet. I think she's being supportive of artists who release material that's adventurous. 

Also, wasn't it public that Katy's ex was in owe of Gaga's artistry, and said that he respected the fact that she stood her ground with "ARTPOP" despite its perceived negative reception? . I'm sure he was still with her when those statements were made public, and I'm sure that was most likely a conversation he had with her, privately. 

I wouldn't be surprised if those type of commrnts made ~Katy~ feel self aware about her music, and she was the one feeling dishonest for her albums being so easy to digest. And she DID release "Witness" after saying this, an album where she very deliberately tried to be more experimental and politically involved. 

I don't think it's shade, I think it's the opposite.

There’s no shade, and I think it’s about Joanne

Katy was high off the success of Prism and during this time Perfect Illusion had already failed to break the top 10 after its release and Million Reasons was also struggling, no? Million Reasons only broke the top 10 after the Super Bowl. 
 

She 100% was thinking of Gaga when she wrote that. Little did she know her own decline was imminent. lol

When there's not one-sided fangirling from Katy there's one-sided beef with Katy lmao

143 is neither “arty” nor “charty” and still lost the audience.

A song about female "empowerment" written and produced by a man who has assaulted women in the past. Truly empowering...
