Katy Perry Rocks the Hurricane Festival
Continuing along with her seemingly non-stop performing schedule, Katy Perry hit the stage at the 13th annual Hurricane Festival in Scheessel, Germany on Saturday evening (June 19).
Wearing a cute multi-colored pastel ensemble, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer was among sixty bands that are scheduled to play during the three-day festival, which lasts until Sunday (June 21).
Meanwhile, Miss Perry’s growing success hasn’t come without its critics – as her hit tune has seemed to upset The Gossip singer Beth Ditto.
Ditto tells, “I don’t care if she writes a song about kissing a girl, but there are people who kiss girls in their everyday life, and it’s not as easy as just kissing a girl and everyone loving you. It’d be really rad to hear her talk about something like that.”
Continuing on, Beth said, “It’s not about Katy Perry. It’s about this song and its innocence on her part. To Katy, it’s just this party song. But as a gay person, it’s like, ‘Oh, of course this straight person singing about kissing a girl goes straight to Top 40 and people buy this record. Who can give a f*** about real gay people?’ That’s what’s really painful about the whole thing.”
