Mexico City is about to live a historical moment for pop fans, and it is that on April 26, two of the most emblematic artists of the 21st century, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, will offer concerts the same day, but Is there really a rivalry?
Although some see it as a simple coincidence on the agenda, for many others it is a new edition of an old fight between Fandoms and without a doubt, the doubt arises from Who is the true pop queen?
Lady Gaga and Katy Perry show up the same day
In social networks the explosion that there were by fans organizing fights for their respective favorite singers and even revived the memes about the typical comparisons between them were noticed.
What is clearer, is the unforgettable episode of Glee, “To Katy Or A Gaga”, Where the club is divided between the two styles and personalities, thus creating one of the most iconic moments of the series that undoubtedly Live in my memory 24/7.
And what makes this moment so special is not only that both artists are in the same city at the same time, but also represents a reflection of the eternal debate in pop culture that was believed dead, demonstrating that although the years pass, they change style, and even change the lives of each of them; They are still as iconic as at the greatest moment of their careers.
Is there a winner?
I admit without grief that I lean for Katy. There is something in your music that touches me personally, thanks to your ability to tell simple stories that end up becoming hymns of the more positive way possible.
But it would be absurd to deny the impact that Gaga has had. Moreover, probably without the visual, scenic and cultural force that Lady Gaga imposed in the last decade, many other artists (including the same Perry) would not have had the same space to risk.
Both have made history, each in their own way. Gaga changed the show rules through his art, provocation and talent; while Katy, meanwhile, dominated the lists with hits that we have all sungalthough many refuses to this.
What really matters here is not who sells more tickets, but what they represent, that is, two different ways of understanding pop and that, in the end, enriches music and who love it.
So the “rivalry”Among them is an invention of the media and even among the same fans, amplified by the networks, and conveniently adopted by each person to their liking.
