Mexico is still one of the favorite destinations of international artists. In 2024, Dua Lapa put coffee shops in the Roma and Museums to the south of Mexico City; The Spanish relas B premiered his album To New Star (A new star) On a balcony of the Condesa neighborhood. The singer published an Instagram story with an address and in less than an hour the street was impassable. In November last year, Katy Perry published a video on her social networks in which she announced a series of concerts in Mexico during the summer of 2025. On Saturday, April 26, in Mexico City; Tuesday, April 29, in Monterrey, and Friday, May 2, in Guadalajara. But the news of his concert in the Mexican capital has been eclipsed by Lady Gaga. The singer announced her return to the country after 13 years. The date: Saturday, April 26.
The news has revived the discussion regarding the dispute that both have dragged throughout their professional career. In 2008, the two artists made their debut: Lady Gaga did it with the single Just dance which is part of the album The Fame. Katy Perry with I KISSED TO GIRLof the album One for the Boys. Only 20 days separate one premiere from the other. During these years, when American pop music ran out of heavyweights, such as Britney Spears or Backstreet Boys, Perry and Gaga possessed the qualities to become the representatives of the new pop, called recession pop.
According to an article published by the University of Berkeley, the recession pop is characterized by a high tempo, similar to the High Energyand the lyrics of these songs talk about having fun during a period of financial crisis. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are the ones who lead the movement, along with Pitbull, Rihanna and Kesha, to mention some.
The rivalry between them began at a train station in Marseille, France in 2008. The moment, recorded by a paparazzi, captures the first meeting between the interpreters. Katy Perry walks on the platform and asks with sarcasm why no one portrays Gaga. “Do you know Lady Gaga? It’s like the new Madonna, but better,” the Californian ditch in mockery. For its part, New York approaches with Perry, shakes his hand and confesses to being a great admirer. They walk together a few more meters and say goodbye. Gaga leaves Marseille, Perry has barely arrived.
After that meeting, in an interview for Canadian television, Lady Gaga was questioned about what she thought about I KISSED TO GIRLthe greatest success of Katy Perry. The artist took a few seconds to answer. “Well … I think she has never kissed a girl,” he says seriously and proceeds, “I am a fan of all the music, the successes, of the pop songs. But I do not make music to reach the gay community. I am simply what I am.”
The conflict reached its highest level in 2013. Both prepared the launch of two singles, but a series of leaks caused the premiere dates to change. Lady Gaga postponed the debut of Applausewhile Katy Perry advanced the Roar. The two songs were published on August 12. Two weeks later, the 30th delivery of the MTVV Video Music Awards (MTV music videos awards), also known as VMA’s. The singers were part of the show live and each played its most recent songs. Katy Perry closed the event on a stage similar to a boxing quadrilateral. At the end of the presentation, he lifted the belt with which he proclaimed world champion, while two hostesses held a sign in which he read Game Over (End of the game).
In those years, Katy Perry was at the top of his career and for 2015 he was in charge of the Super Bowl XLIX part -time show. In contrast, Lady Gaga was about to retire from the world of music after the premiere of the album Art Pop In 2013, which was very badly received by critics. Then the papers invested. Katy Perry suffered a fall in her popularity, while Gaga appeared at the Super Bowl XLI in 2017, two years after Perry. In 2019, New York took a Grammy, an Oscar, a Bafta and a Golden Globe, all the same year. The last attack in this rivalry will be based on the Mexican capital. Lady Gaga carries the lead. It is presented at the GNP stadium with capacity for 65,000 people, while Katy Perry does so in Mexico City Arena, with a capacity for 22,300 attendees.
