Katy Perry makes a ‘laughing stock’ of herself with giant-skeleton dig at Theresa May and Donald Trump in 2017 BRIT Awards performance
She brought on the enormous skeletons while singing her comeback single Chained to the Rhythm
US pop star Katy Perry was dubbed a laughing stock last night — after performing with bizarre skeleton puppets of Donald Trump and Theresa May.
One of Perry’s backing dancers, dressed as a house, also plummeted off stage during the star’s comeback performance at The Brits.

Perry’s team explained that the bouncing paper houses represented the crumbling of the American Dream.
Perry, in a black pinstripe suit and bralet, had been performing her comeback single Chained to the Rhythm — after recently vowing to “write more purposeful pop”.
The stage at London’s O2 soon became rammed with dancing houses, and one fell off the edge into the crowd.
The singer, 32, was then joined by enormous skeleton puppets representing the new US president and our own PM.

Perry, a backer of Hillary Clinton’s failed US election bid last November, has said she was “mortified” at Trump’s win.
The typically wacky performance ruffled more than a few feathers — one viewer tweeted: “Katy Perry is the laughing stock of the music industry.”
Another posted: “I miss the non-political Katy.”
Perry will no doubt face the same wrath as MERYL STREEP did last month.
The actress wound up the US president after mocking him in her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes — and he used his overactive Twitter account the next day to called her “overrated”.

But fans can expect much more controversy from Katy’s new album, which she has described as her “purposeful pop” phase.
She tweeted before the ceremony: “When you have so many surprises up your sleeve for this next era.”
