The owner of the television network, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, reacted vigorously to the criticism triggered by Katy Perry's participation in the show "Venga La Alegría" in Mexico. During her visit to promote her world tour "The Lifetimes Tour", the hosts organized various activities for the singer, from getting on a minibus and recreating memes to paying tribute with her songs and outfits.
In response to a tribute dedicated to Katy Perry by the production of Azteca Uno, Salinas Pliego expressed: "A lot of dumb leftists won't understand what is said in this video because they don’t speak English, but thank you for coming Katy Perry." He also added that money had been invested in the television programs and announced the presale for Banco Azteca cardholders.
The singer's reaction was evident, showing her displeasure and lack of enthusiasm during the activities, seeming uncomfortable and even disinterested. The situation escalated when a clip of Katy Perry apparently disappointed upon learning that there were still sections left to perform in the program went viral.
Katy Perry's presence on "Venga La Alegría" triggered a wave of mockery towards the hosts and the production, highlighting the singer's lack of comfort during her participation in the morning show. Criticism was felt on social media, where the quality of the tribute was questioned, and the supposed discomfort of the artist on the television program was pointed out.
