Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” Controversy

Back in 2018, she admitted that the lyrics did contain “a couple of stereotypes” adding that she would recreate that song. At that time, she shared, “Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What’s true for you can evolve.”
She has further revealed that she has kissed several girls. She was recently in the limelight for the weird eye glitch clip that was taken during her Las Vegas show. The singer already addressed the multiple reports stating it was just a stunt.
