Katy Perry was raked across the coals and branded ‘desperate’ by disgusted fans after she enlisted viral singer Rebecca Black and a pair of enormous fake breasts to revive her struggling tour.
In a skit released this week, Katy drops by Rebecca’s dressing room to give her the honor of joining in on her new Lifetimes Tour.
Katy enters Rebecca’s dressing room, only to be caught off guard by her faux breast implants, which are ‘spilling’ out of her bikini top.
The 40-year-old California Gurls singer looks flabbergasted by the supersized cleavage, before remembering that she stopped by to ask Rebecca to go on her tour with her.
The video, which one fan decried as pathetic on X (formerly Twitter), arrived following reports that Katy had turned to her nemesis-turned-friend Taylor Swift for advice as she deals with anemic ticket sales for The Lifetimes Tour.
On social media, some fans said that the veteran songstress appeared to be upstaged in the video, and that they would prefer to see the 27-year-old performer on her own.

Rebecca stares blankly at her and then says ‘OK?’ before Katy adds: ‘Do you wanna join me on The Lifetimes Tour?’
