Katy Perry offered her first performance of her new track “Chained to the Rhythm” on the Grammy stage and it was impossible not to notice its heavily symbolic nature.
The song itself is a darker message cloaked beneath a pop tune with an 80s flair -- dissecting the idea the world contains itself in a bubble, blissfully ignorant to the issues awaiting just outside.
Perry came for this in a straight shot, the stage bearing a house and white picket fence a singing Perry stands behind. Wearing a white suit and rose colored glasses -- yes, we caught that Katy -- she impeccably shows off her vocal range singing “So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble/So put your rose-colored glasses on/And party on.”
