There’s no better way to start the day than with a catty artist beef, right? Well grab your inhaler and fasten your suspenders ‘cos this one is a particularly entertaining doozy involving UK electro star turned DJ Calvin Harris and kitsch-pop princess Katy Perry. The beef got underway over Twitter yesterday with Perry announcing that Calvin Harris had cancelled his support slot for her UK and Ireland tour “at the last minute”. Oh no she di’int!
“Sorry to all who wanted to see me with Katy – her team suddenly moved the goalposts, and i was to appear on stage with no production,” Calvin explained in his response. “It would have looked shit, sounded shit – trust me you would have been more disappointed SEEING the show than u are with me canceling. That’s the honest truth. We tried really hard to sort it out, but playing side of stage for 30 mins, it seemed pointless me even being there. Her show is AWESOME, you’ll all have an amazing time without me. (especially w/o me DJing on a cardboard box in front of a pink curtain).
Not content with that, Perry threw a couple extra barbs towards Harris saying that the so-called ‘goalposts’ had been fine for previous support acts like Janelle Monae, Robyn, Yelle and New Young Pony Club and that cancelling on her had become Harris’ ‘staple’. Yup, that’s a burn.
It only gets better/more ridiculous from there as the Twitter drama awoke the tweenage dragon that is Katy Perry’s online fanbase, with disgruntled Perry acolytes sending a barrage of abuse Harris’ way. Here’s a few pearls that caught our eye.
-@calvinharris you a idiot cancelling on @katyperry never even herd of you till she said you was on her tour go hide back in ya closet nob!
-@calvinharris your a gob shite you yenno!!! Your music is Shit CBA following you anymore What a fucking joke
-@CalvinHarris your about as sexy as a tub of dog shit with bird shit and cat shit mixed together with paprika and poured in top. Jock twat.
-@CalvinHarris FYI were not called ‘katy perry fans’ we are called #KATYCATS ! BOOOM! Sit The Fuck Down!
If we’ve learned anything from this conflict it’s that if you mess with the Katy Cats you get the claws. And also that we kinda feel sorry for Calvin Harris now, especially as it looks as though a decent amount of effort has gone into the production of his DJ show as we saw out here when he played that other global pop star Rihanna.
IF I WERE CALVIN I WOULDN'T MIND JOINING KATY SHE SOUNDS AWFUL WHEN SHE SINGS LIVE!
