Katy Perry is only 34, Taylor is 29 - if they want to have babies they have plenty of time to have them. Ariana Grande is 26 and seems too immature to have a baby at this point.

If they want motherhood they will find a way to make it happen. No major rush, though.

When is peak fertility? Several years before 34 and 30, which Taylor will be in 2 months.

1) Her schtick is very artificial. On purpose clearly, she has a very clear aesthetic and it isn't about natural genuine beauty it is about looking kind of doll like and creating replicas of time periods. I think in today's world that is seen as a little off putting.

2) She is a try hard. This one makes me feel bad. But I feel like she is like, the Christina Aquilera/Jessica Simpson to Taylor Swift's Britney Spears. The slightly lesser female celebrity pop star du jour that people take pleasure in cutting down. I don't think that metaphor totally works on a talent level because xtina is a way better singer than spears but in their heyday spears was WAY more famous and mainstream popular.

But intellectually I think it is really unfair to feel pained by her efforts to be THE female pop star. She is working hard and trying and that shouldn't be off putting. But seeing someone, particularly a woman, trying so hard to be something and not necessarily completely succeeding I think sets off some primitive feeling of repulsion in human social cues. And its compounded by the fact that she has this artificial schtick that just makes the try hard stand out more.

It is the feeling you get when a not quite perfect polished outsider girl is trying out for a cheer leading squad and not doing it quite right. Some swirl of sympathetic embarrassment that just makes you recoil in your core. But that is a cruel and unfair instinct and like I said I try to actually suppress it because she's just a hard working woman who is trying to build a career. And I love some of her songs.

That was deep and you nailed it right on the head! Right down to that gut feelin that was deep and you nailed it right on the head!

And rather than a fake, I actually think she is being very authentic to who she is - quirky and weird and not fitting into the typical model of what people expect.

Anonymous wrote:I'm a woman and I think KP has an enviable figure, she's a talented entertainer (show girl), not much of a singer but she has the ability to connect with her audience in a fun/upbeat sort of way.

There was a time when kP didn't take herself too seriously and freely acknowledged that fame was fleeting. I still listen to some of her older music.

But then, KP turned political, her music, her entire look and attitude took on a sense of weird desperation. Her music went to sh*t and she has never, and quite frankly probably will never, recover professionally from her missteps. I don't know if she burned out or what happened but...the damage is done.

And you really think Bloom is in love with her? He was married to a super model — Perry in her prime wasn’t as beautiful, let alone now in her mid 30s. He’s a gold digger.

Anonymous wrote:You all are severely discounting the fact she was in fact THE biggest thing is pop music for sort of a long run 6-10 years ago. It was basically her, Taylor Swift, Rihanna -- and Adele.

But now? She's a washed up spinster. Weird, desperate and lacking purpose because she's unmarried and more doesn't have babies.

I usually eyeroll when people suggest jealousy as a reason one female doesn't like another.

But seriously, KP haters, jealousy. I have no dog in this fight but there is a lot of overthinking and vitriol happening here.

Anonymous wrote:Eh. I disliked her 10 years ago because I was 23, insecure, and jealous that all the guys thought she was hot and liked her tits. I don’t have tits.

Now I’m 33 and think she’d be a lot of fun to hang out with. She seems like the type who’s the life of the party and constantly up to mischief. I like that.

I also like that she’s not the best singer, she knows she isn’t, and so her performances are more of just having a lot of fun with the audience. Sometimes I want to hear a phenomenal singer, sometimes I just want to have fun and be entertained. She’s a good entertainer.

Assuming you’re a woman (because no man would ever say KP isn’t beautiful)- It makes me so sad that there are still women out there who think they’re only purpose in life is to look a certain way and reproduce.

Despite what people have told you, you are worth more than that. Neither Perry nor you need to have children or be a model to have value, find fulfillment, or deserve love. Quite the opposite- the women I know whose only purpose in life is to raise kids are generally depressed, anxious, and irritable, while the ones who have purpose beyond family are much more vibrant and fulfilled.

Come over to our side, we’re much more fun and don’t care about your eggs or looks or who you’re married to or how imperfect your kids are. Plus, we have wine.

Have you seen KP workout make up?
