Katy Perry is catching some heat after her reply to a fan with money issues went viral.<\/p>\n
The fan shared in a now deleted post on X, \u201cI so badly don\u2019t wanna be here anymore. I\u2019m not cut out for this world like I cannot afford to live at this rate and I\u2019m so close to selling my Katy ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perry replied, per The Daily Mail<\/a>, \u201cBut I am looking forward to seeing you.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cFirework\u201d singer\u2019s response didn\u2019t go over too well with people in the comments of the post.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is so grim. Not even an offer of a free ticket or help offered girl,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n Another added, \u201cWow Katy, you\u2019re clearly so out of touch! You just keep living your out-of-touch high life while everyone else is barely able to afford essentials (food, rent, insurance).\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is so tone deaf lmao,\u201d one person summed up.<\/p>\n Perry had her defenders in the comments, too.<\/p>\n \u201cYou’d be calling her performative the second she helped publicly. you’re just looking for a reason to be mad,\u201d one supporter wrote.<\/p>\n According to The Daily Mail, another fan checked in on the original fan, Ria, asking if they were really ok, and she responded, \u201cYeah just going through a tough patch at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Ticket prices have pushed music fans to go to some extreme lengths to try to see their favorite artists.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, a Harry Styles fan told Rolling Stone she sold her plasma to save up for a ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n Styles\u2019 \u201cTogether, Together\u201d tour is only doing 67 dates in 11 cities, with 30 of those at Madison Square Garden, so availability was limited.<\/p>\n Follow us on Instagram @WeArePauseRewind<\/a> for all your pop culture obsessions.<\/p>\n
