KATY Perry has been slammed for promoting new additions to her shoe line instead of releasing new music.
The singer, 38, recently shared a new post on her Katy Perry Collections Instagram page that sparked a quick reaction from fans.
Katy has been promoting her businesses outside of her singing career and judging duties since the most recent finale of American Idol in May.
The shoe brand shared the array of colors that are available for purchase of its Evie daisy flat, accompanied by a caption that read: “Daisies, Daisies, Daisies!”
However, some fans took to the post’s comment section to tell the Firework hitmaker that they wanted her to release new music instead.
Katy released her last album, Smile, in 2020.
“Pls stop we want new music not shoes,” one person wrote, to which another responded: “we need both but first music.”
A third wrote: “Shoes again omg katycats is dying.”
A SIMILAR SLAM
She was slammed similarly last week by frustrated fans after sharing another update on her shoe collection.
The singer’s dedicated followers begged her to release new music after Katy modeled her special rainbow-themed footwear on Instagram to celebrate Pride Month.
She was pictured in a blue crop top and high-waisted denim pants teamed with multicolored strappy heels.
Katy showed off some of her Pride-inspired designs in the other pH๏τos in her post.
The Teenage Dream singer captioned the post: “Lean into Pride with your fit.”
Fans flooded the comments to beg Katy to start working on a new album and drop new music.
One wrote: “It was better without u putting up your shoes Katy, we want music, stop spamming your social networks!!!!!!”
Another added: “Girl we dgaf about your shoes drop some new music.”
A third simply posted: “WE WANT MUSIC.”
Katy has been busy promoting her other businesses since American Idol, which have included her shoe collection and her non-alcoholic line of drinks, De Soi.
KATY’S IDOL BACKLASH
As for Idol, the judge has been rumored to quit the show after receiving backlash throughout the most recent season.
Katy first became a judge on the hit compeтιтion show in 2018.
This season, fans accused the reality show judge of shaming a 16-year-old contestant during her tense audition.
Katy revealed shortly after that she is ready to leave American Idol after feeling betrayed by producers and receiving fan backlash.
The hitmaker, who has been a judge of the hit compeтιтion singing series for the past six years, said she has repeatedly felt “thrown under the bus” by those on the show’s back end, sources revealed to the Daily Mail.
The insiders continued: “Katy became aware of the harsh criticism. Getting booed really upset her. She was trying to stay in her lane, do her job, and go home.
“She went into it thinking she was going to foster young talent. For her good intentions to be misinterpreted it was not what she wanted.
“She has accomplished so much in her career and is now being looked at as a nasty reality show judge.
“Katy’s wanted out for some time now, but this season was way too much for her to handle.”
The sources also said no paycheck amount could convince the pop star to stay after what she believes the show has now done to her legacy.
IDOL NO MORE?
Last month, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Katy is considering quitting the show to spend more time with her two-year-old daughter Daisy, according to an ABC insider.
The American Idol insider shared Katy has been contemplating her future for months as she has spoken about her desire to grow her family, spend more time with Orlando, and continue her own musical career away from the show.
On the family front, the source claimed Katy has spoken about wanting a “baby brother or sister” for Daisy.
Katy reportedly “wants to rectify” her busy schedule taking time away from Orlando, as the source continued: “With both of them working so much on projects, time as a family is also very precious.”
“She’s spoken about wanting more sleep and feeling a lot more emotional than usual this season,” the insider revealed.
As for her career, the source shared Katy would like to tour the world again “on her terms” too, rather than doing a hefty schedule across multiple continents.
Katy’s hesitation about joining American Idol’s next season may have a financial motivation.
“The money she could earn from a few stadium gigs could eclipse the deal that ABC can offer,” the insider added.
Katy’s $30million salary for American Idol, including the endorsement deals, is unlikely to be increased for the new season.
The source continued: “She’s been busting her ʙuтт making Idol a success, balancing the Vegas shows and family life with Daisy and Orlando.
“People forget she has balanced the show through a world tour, pregnancy, and being a mom.”
