Katy Perry's cringe comeback is a tacky, flesh-flashing nightmare! And, says CAROLINE BULLOCK, it's sad proof that women suffer humiliating midlife crises too By Caroline Bullock For Dailymail.Com Published: 19:10, 7 August 2024 | Updated: 19:15, 7 August 2024 e-mail 2 View comments Three months shy of the big 4-0 and Teenage Dream singer Katy Perry ’s cringy comeback is becoming a mid-life nightmare. The prolific hitmaker has stalled with a tacky, flesh-flashing video and dismal single sales.

Now in promotional overdrive, she’s hawking her new album titled ‘143' and supposedly a reference to her ‘symbolic angel number’ – but on current form it’s more likely an optimistic chart placement.

Signs were ominous in June when she attended Balenciaga ’s latest couture showing in Paris bare-chested in an unzipped fur jacket and not much else.

Then her ‘Woman’s World’ single dropped...

off a cliff, limping into the Billboard .
