About this episode

The episode discusses Katy Perry's decline from pop star to meme in light of recent allegations against her.

On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Slate senior writer Scaachi Koul to discuss the downfall of Katy Perry. Back in 2025, Scaachi wrote a feature about the singer’s descent from beloved pop star to internet meme, but a recent allegation of sexual assault from actress Ruby Rose has cast her legacy in a whole new light. But in revisiting Katy Perry’s past fifteen years, it turns out the real question is: Did Katy Perry change, or did we? This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.
