Katy Perry has sparked outrage with a comment she made about Britney Spears' infamous head-shaving incident. Spears hit headlines back in 2007 when she was pictured taking a razor to her brunette hair at the lowest point of her mental health struggles. But Perry used the unfortunate situation to make a joke when she was asked about her break from the music industry during an interview on the Grammy Awards red carpet. This, of course, is in reference to the now-famous moment when Britney Spears shaved her head in 2007. Britney Spears reacted to the controversy by posting a video on instagram, letting let her fans know that she is not bothered and sitting pretty at a luxurious Malibu estate despite Perry’s rude comment. “A book in Malibu is all you need,” Spears says in the clip, which she pointedly captioned, “Weekend advice.” Though Spears — whose 2013 track “Passenger” was cowritten by Perry — has previously expressed praise and admiration for the “Chained to the Rhythm” songstress, Perry repeated the tactless wisecrack during another live Grammys red carpet interview, with CBS. Naturally, this infuriated the Britney army, which wasted no time creating the #KatyPerryIsOverParty, which quickly trended on twitter.
