Katy Perry’s latest blunder in the eyes of the internet was throwing her own birthday cake on the floor during a celebration on her current Lifetimes tour. On Tuesday, Perry shared a carousel on Instagram of pictures and videos taken around her 41st birthday on October 25th. In one video, Perry, still in her concert gear, attempts to throw a custom-made birthday cake at someone backstage at an arena. The person dodges the cake, letting it fall on the ground, while Perry is shown laughing. The video then cuts to a clip of a group of people, who appear to be Perry’s dancers for the tour, tasting the cake off the floor. X users have criticized Perry for wasting the cake. “Katy Perry’s team surprised her with a birthday cake and she straight up threw the whole thing at someone, wasting it all… this woman is actually pathetic,” one user wrote. Over the last year, Perry has faced multiple internet backlashes, from criticism of her music to her participation in an all-female space flight.
