Katy Perry jokes about being 'most hated person on the internet'
Katy Perry has made light of the negativity surrounding her public image at a concert on her Lifetimes tour.
While on stage in Chicago, the pop star joked about her public image with the crowd.
In a clip taken by a concertgoer, Perry reacted to the audience's thunderous applause by quipping, "Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet."
As the fans continue to clap and cheer, the Firework singer added, "I think that's false!"
The show came a few weeks after Perry kicked off her Lifetimes trek in late April. Earlier that month, she was part of Blue Origin's first all-woman space flight - a highly criticised venture that has led to the musician experiencing an influx of negative comments on social media.
Before that, the former American Idol judge drew criticism for working with Dr. Luke on her single Woman's World, despite allegations of sexual assault leveraged against him by Kesha.
But she's put on a brave face for fans.
"Please know I am OK, I have done a lot of work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me," she commented on Instagram in April.
"My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer: 'No one can make you believe something about yourself that you don't already believe about yourself.'"

Evangeline Lilly Stuns Fans After She Reveals Gruesome Injuries From Freak Accident
Evangeline Lilly Stuns Fans After She Reveals Gruesome Injuries From Freak Accident originally appeared on Parade. Lost star Evangeline Lilly is opening up about a terrifying accident that left her with a painful injury to her face during a recent beach trip. On Friday, March 30, the actress, 45, shared a photo and video of her face that showed her swollen and bloody nose and front teeth knocked out of place after she took a fall. "I fainted at the beach. And fell face first into a boulder," she wrote in the caption. Sharing the full story in a Substack post, Lilly explained that despite having a history of "fainting spells" since childhood, doctors had never been able to pinpoint a diagnosis, and the hospital trip that followed her fall on the beach didn't yield any results, either. Doctors were able to stitch up her face, though, and now, fans are sharing their well wishes for her recovery. "Oh my goodness Evangeline! I am sending you all of the healing energy in the world," one of her followers wrote. In another comment, another follower joked, "Was the boulder rushed to the hospital too?" This update from Lilly comes one year after the Ant-Man and the Wasp star announced that she was retiring from acting. "Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong." 🎬 🎬 Evangeline Lilly Stuns Fans After She Reveals Gruesome Injuries From Freak Accident first appeared on Parade on May 30, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Caitlin Clark Has Wordless Reaction to Taylor Swift's Exciting News
Caitlin Clark Has Wordless Reaction to Taylor Swift's Exciting News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are set to take the floor on Friday night against the Connecticut Sun, but they'll be doing so without Caitlin Clark, who will miss her second straight game due to a left quadriceps strain. Despite being sidelined, Clark's attention was caught by some major news on Friday: her friend and favorite musician Taylor Swift announced on Instagram and her website that, after a long and grueling process, she has finally regained full ownership of her masters—purchased for roughly $360 million, according to Billboard. "All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me," Swift wrote. "And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work," Although Swift disabled comments on the post, Clark shared the exciting news on her Instagram story. This past NFL season, Taylor Swift invited Caitlin Clark to join her in a suite at a Kansas City Chiefs game, where Swift was supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Clark, a longtime avid Chiefs fan and huge Swift supporter, even attended Swift's "Eras Tour" concert in Indianapolis in 2024. Swift also revealed exciting news about new music, including completing a full re-recording of her self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version), though no release date has been announced yet. 'I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now," Swift added in her letter. "Those two albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about. But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.'This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark': Are Manny and Avery Still Together?
When the cast of Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark first checked into the Sneaky Links Motel, I did not have high hopes. But, watching Manny—a hot, but somewhat callous 26-year-old travel nurse—and Avery—a 26-year-old recruiter—fall for each other and leave the Motel together actually made me believe that this reality show could really work. But the real test of its success is seeing which Sneaky Links couples are still together now, a year after the cameras stopped rolling. So, are Manny and Avery from Sneaky Links still together? Yes! Manny and Avery are still together one year later, and they don't have to hide it anymore! Avery announced the news with an Instagram post one week after Sneaky Links premiered. 'When you still weren't really sure his last name a month into dating so you assumed it must just be 'thecolumbian,'' she joked, referencing Manny's Instagram handle @mannythecolumbian. 'Time flies when ur having fun!! (Mostly) can't believe I met u a whole year ago.' The couple's number one fan? Spicy Mari, the relationship expert who guided them on Sneaky Links. She left a comment on Avery's Instagram poking a little fun at their meet cute story, and hinting at their dramatic on-screen journey. 'It only took kidnapping you for a month in 120 degree weather, isolation from all media and entertainment, going through tough activities, challenges, sessions, and almost losing her... to realize you needed to leave your sneaking linking behind lol,' she commented, clearly referring to Manny's conflicted feelings for Avery and Nicole V. ICYMI, Manny nearly lost Avery for good when he told both her and Nicole that they were his number one choice. But, that's all water under the bridge now. And for what it's worth, it looks like Manny is more than willing to own up to his past misdeeds. Before they confirmed that they were together, he posted a video to TikTok addressing his edit on the show, writing, 'I think I went from the villain to the most improved.' Couldn't agree more, Manny! The two haven't spilled all the details on their year-long relationship yet, but it looks like they are not living together and are enjoying their long distance relationship. Avery lives in Nashville, Manny in Texas, and she even shared a TikTok video of him picking her up from the airport. Cute! Congrats to the happy sneaky links-turned-couple!
