Trace Cyrus Accuses Katy Perry of Copying Miley Cyrus, Calls Her ‘Lame’

Trace Cyrus is the latest person to criticize Katy Perry following her brief foray into outer space.

The singer took to his TikTok account on Saturday (April 19) to air out his grievances with the “Roar” singer:

“I first knew Katy Perry and her team were lame as fuck when her career when her career was first dying and they were like, ‘Hm, what can we do? Well, what worked for Miley [Cyrus]? She cut her hair off and broke the internet and everyone freaked out and she bleached it blonde. We should do that with you, Katy!’”

He then accuses the singer’s team of attempting to replicate Miley’s hair “exactly the same.” The Hannah Montana alum debuted a blonde pixie cut in 2012, while Perry went that route in 2017.

Cyrus then goes on to say the copying goes deeper than aesthetics, citing Miley’s 2013 collaboration with Mike WiLL Made-It, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J, “23” (which he refers to as “J’s on My Feet”). He claims Perry’s 2017 collaboration with Migos, “Bon Appétit,” followed Miley’s trajectory into diversifying her sound.

“You’re going to do exactly what the fuck Miley did and blow up,” Cyrus says, pretending to be someone from Perry’s team. “But it didn’t fucking work and then they just tried some EDM song or some shit because EDM’s hot. Didn’t fucking work.”

“Now we’re going to send your ass to space. Didn’t fucking work. It’s not working, it’s backfiring. Stop!”

In a follow-up TikTok, Cyrus doubled down on the “23” and “Bon Appétit” connection, saying, “I was just thinking about ‘J’s on My Feet’ and what rhymes with ‘J’s on My Feet?’ ‘Bon Appétit.'”

On April 14, Perry embarked on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin’s first all-female flight, NS-31, alongside Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyễn, Gayle King, Kerianne Flynn, and Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez.

Perry appears to be receiving a lot of flack for her participation in the mission, with fast food chain Wendy’s even jokingly asking if we can “send her back” into space.

The joke didn’t seem to land, and they went on to backtrack, saying, “We always bring a little spice to our socials, but Wendy’s has a ton of respect for Katy Perry and her out-of-this-world-talent.”
