Is There Drama On Katy Perry's 'California Dreams' Tour?

By AOL Music Editors Posted Jun 16th 2011 01:45PM

Insulting Katy Perry doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do, especially if she is the headliner of the tour you are on, but that is exactly whatSwedish pop star, Robyn has done.

Robyn -- who you may best remember for her 1997 mainstream hit 'Show Me Love' and who has since reinvented her self as an edgier, out-of-pocket pop singer -- made a catty comment about Perry in an interview with Time Out.

When questioned about her plans to open for Perry's California Dreams tour Robyn explained, "I was asked by her to do it and thought it was a good way of getting to know her audience. It's bigger than mine [laughs]." In response to the follow-up question, "And are you a fan of hers?" Robyn responded, giggling, "You know what? I have to go now."

Robyn's jab at Katy ignited rumors that the tour mates were trapped in a heated rivalry and prompted Robyn to make a follow-up statement in an interview with MTV.

Robyn defended the snub and stated, "I think that girls are always expected to have opinions about each other, and maybe I don't have an opinion about some things, you know?" "We're always expected to have thoughts about what the other person is doing, and I think that's silly. You very rarely get asked about another guy as a male artist," Robyn claimed.

Way to take a feminist stance to divert attention away from the diss. Well played, Robyn!

I don't know that it qualifies as a diss. It could I suppose, but it sounds more like she saw the damned if you do and damned if you don't set up.

Women always use the "I'm a woman and this expected of me" excuse. Truth is, the only people who expect anything out of woman, is other woman. Woman are their own best allies, but worse enemies.

I saw this concert the other night. Robyn was kinda horrible. Most of the audience walked outside of the stadium until she was done, and even the stage front pit was motionless. Until you can get a crowd going like Katy, you probably shouldn't criticize her so much. And why go on tour with an act you don't believe in?

KP looks like a robot in that picture. Maybe she is, entertainment is so formulated now there could very well be someone developing entertainment bots ... now that I think of it, her husband has a plastic look about him too.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Robyn in concert. She was great and the entire crowd loved her. At first I didn't want to go to the concert but after I heard a few songs I was down. And I love Katy Perry
