After months of intense scrutiny, Katy Perry was questioned about reuniting with Dr. Luke during an episode of the popular Spotify podcast, 'Call Her Daddy.' Perry discussed her career and upcoming album, '143,' set to release in two weeks. The album's rollout faced controversy due to Dr. Luke's involvement. The producer, known for collaborating on Perry's early hits, had not worked with her since Kesha's 2014 lawsuit against him for abuse allegations.
Despite backlash, Perry enlisted Dr. Luke for her creative team on '143.' He contributed to the lead single, 'Woman's World,' and its follow-up, 'Lifetimes,' both receiving criticism for their themes and commercial performance. This led to concerns about Perry's career, with a crisis PR expert suggesting she address fans' worries with emotional intelligence.
During the podcast, Perry was asked about working with Dr. Luke on the album. She responded vaguely, emphasizing her personal experiences and the collaborative nature of the project. Perry also touched on motherhood and empowerment, citing her role as a matriarch and the inspiration behind her music.
When questioned about her artistic evolution, Perry asserted her authenticity and commitment to creating music that resonates with her. Representatives for Perry and Dr. Luke did not provide immediate comments on the matter.
