Katy Perry has landed on hot water after appearing to throw shade at Britney Spears with a not-so-subtle joke in a red carpet interview at the 2017 Grammy Awards. While talking to Ryan Seacrest at the Sunday, February 13 event, Katy made a joke in which she seemingly took a jab at Britney's infamous head-shaving meltdown.
When asked by Ryan about her comeback after taking some time away from music, the "Chained to the Rhythm" hitmaker responded, "It's called taking care of your mental health." The 32-year-old singer added, "I haven't shaved my head yet," referring to when Britney shaved her head following her mental breakdown back in 2007.
Many including Britney's fans are not happy with Katy's remark. They have since taken to Twitter to slam the "Rise" singer for making light of mental health.
"Katy lowkey throwing Britney shade," one user tweeted along with a video featuring Katy's interview with Ryan. Another mocked Katy and the silver, attention-grabbing dress she wore at the ceremony, writing, "She wore this Chewbacca astronaut dress tonight, her new single is awful, & she just kinda shaded Britney. Tonight we spell Katy F-L-O-P."
