It's remarkable that anyone thought Katy would debut well considering:
she's never had acclaim, even at her peak
she's not had a bone fide smash released for over 11 years
her last album does not get talked about for just how badly it performed
she didn't have demand to sell out her Las Vegas shows despite the back catalogue appeal
...but even I didn't think she could bomb this hard with a Dr Luke, high budget track that was designed to be as inoffensive and bland as possible while pandering to a pseudo-feminist and queer-sounding set of lyrics, effectively Roar 2.0.
And God knows I've spent my time dragging her through the years! What a difference a decade makes.
