Being one of the richest living musicians and a literal astronaut, it would probably be a stretch to describe pop superstar Katie Perry as down to Earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But even her own fans were somewhat shocked when they saw the 41-year-old I Kissed a Girl <\/em>singer reply to a fan in dire financial<\/a> straits with an utterly tone deaf message.<\/p>\n

Perry<\/a> superfan Ria shared on X how their personal difficulties might force them into selling their ticket, saying: “I so badly don\u2019t wanna be here anymore. I\u2019m not cut out for this world like I cannot afford to live at this rate and I\u2019m so close to selling my Katy ticket.”<\/p>\n

Yet the artist with an estimated net worth of $360 million, whose recent tour<\/a> is believed to have raked in $134 million from tickets and who does not often reply on X, glibly replied: “But I am looking forward to seeing you!”<\/p>\n

Naturally, after failing to offer any help whatsoever to the fan, lots of her other followers piled in to blast the artist as out of touch, which might be fair as she is currently dating<\/a> the former Prime Minister of Canada.<\/p>\n

One fan said: “God, you are so out of touch. Someone is clearly going through it and your best response is ‘but im looking forward to seeing you!’. Gross. Do better.”<\/p>\n

While another pointed out: “If you ‘loved her’, you\u2019d give her a VIP Meet and Greet Package and tell her to sell the ticket so she could have extra money to enjoy the show. <\/p>\n

“This is so tone deaf lmao.”<\/p>\n

Many pointed out that plenty of her other fans having a hard time with their finances will see the out of touch tweet, with so many people around the world struggling due to rising gas prices and seemingly never ending global instability.<\/p>\n

One blasted: “Wow Katy, you\u2019re clearly so out of touch! You just keep living your out-of-touch high life while everyone else is barely able to afford essentials (food, rent, insurance).”<\/p>\n

But it was not all negativity. A lot of Perry’s followers argued that, in the social media world, you can never really win anyway. “You’d be calling her performative the second she helped publicly. You’re just looking for a reason to be mad,” they argued.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile cash-strapped Ria did not seem upset by the popstar’s glib reply, as they rushed to respond to their idol ‘I love you’. Another person congratulated Ria on the interaction from their idol.<\/p>\n

Ria replied ‘Thank you, was needed and I\u2019m grateful for it.\u2019 And maybe some things are worth more than just money, as a day later the fan posted their thoughts on Katy Perry blowing up their mentions.<\/p>\n

“Honestly didn\u2019t expect to wake up to find Katy saw my tweet. How? I don\u2019t know but I\u2019m grateful and I hope it helps others too,” they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
