Katy Perry a Lady Gaga copycat? The accusations continue

IS KATY Perry nicking ideas from Lady Gaga on her latest tour? Gaga sure seems to think so.

LADY Gaga might not be too happy about this.

Footage from Katy Perry’s Prismatic Tour uploaded to YouTube last week shows a particular backdrop scene in which Perry puts her finger in her mouth and spews out neon paint. The Birthday singer then proceeds to dance in a flood of the liquid as her body becomes covered in colours.

Billboard notes the similarities between Perry’s Prismatic paint-spewing and Lady Gaga’s controversial South by Southwest performance.

Back in March, Gaga took to the stage during SXSW with “vomit painter” Millie Brown. Brown drank a bottle of green liquid and proceeded to throw up on the Swine singer while she played the drums.

On Thursday, May 8, Gaga seemingly slammed Perry for the green wigs and mechanical horse used in her Prismatic show. “It looks like green hair and mechanical horses are the thing now,” Gaga wrote on Twitter.

The 28-year-old ARTPOP star has worn multicoloured wigs before, and rode to the 2013 American Music Awards atop a fake horse.

Katy Perry has the nerve to ride a horse during her latest tour, when everyone knows Lady Gaga (inset) INVENTED horse riding.

Lady Gaga has been blunt about quashing any comparison to Perry in the past, as well.

“I don’t know what the f**k-all I have to do with Katy Perry,” she said during the SXSW keynote session, per Billboard.

“Our music is so completely different. I couldn’t be more different, really. I really don’t fit in pop music in a way, but I came through it and I’d like to think I changed it in some way so you can feel like you don’t have to fit into a mold.”
