Katy Perry's Flag Fumble
Katy Perry, the chart-topping singer, found herself in hot water after a social media post supporting England during the Euro 2024 final. But it wasn’t her words that stirred controversy — it was the flag she chose.
In a tweet, Perry declared, “FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME.” accompanied by the flag of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, she missed the mark — the flag of England would have been more fitting. Fans swiftly corrected her, highlighting the error.
“Thanks sis, next time try to use the correct flag,” one fan quipped.
“That’s the wrong flag, Katy. Not everyone in the UK will be supporting England,” another pointed out.
“Quite sure that the rest of the UK won’t be cheering for England,” a third user added.
Abigail Breslin’s Comments
Little Miss Sunshine actor Abigail Breslin also chimed in, addressing Perry’s collaboration with controversial producer Dr. Luke. In 2023, Dr. Luke settled a legal battle with pop star Kesha, who accused him of misconduct. Breslin’s tweet highlighted the ongoing debate:
“I’m just saying… this just contributes to the narrative that men can do abhorrent s*** and get away with it.”
“On another note, I love @KeshaRose and she gave one of the best shows I’ve ever been to last year. <3 Stream Kesha!”
Fan Disappointment
Fans expressed their dismay over Perry’s decision to work with Dr. Luke on her upcoming album, 143:
“I’m sorry but I can’t listen to any new Katy Perry song that is written and/or produced by Dr. Luke.”
“I don’t like Dr. Luke for many reasons and I just can’t personally support his career. I’m sorry, Katy, but I am very disappointed.”
Conclusion
In the aftermath of the Euro 2024 final, Perry faces both flag-related criticism and scrutiny over her musical choices.
