Trace Cyrus, the brother of pop sensation Miley Cyrus, has openly criticized Katy Perry, accusing her of copying his sister’s career moves in an effort to revive her own faltering career.
On Friday, April 18th, Trace took to Instagram to vent his frustration, alleging that Katy Perry’s team had “stolen” ideas from Miley during a period when the “Roar” singer’s career was struggling. According to Trace, the strategy to reignite Perry’s success involved mimicking Miley’s iconic style changes.

“I first knew Katy Perry and her team were lame as f— when her career was first dying,” Trace began in a video. “And they were like, ‘Hm, what can we do? Well, what worked for Miley? She cut her hair off, it broke the internet, and everyone freaked out. We should do that with you, Katy.'”
Trace was referring to Miley’s bold pixie cut in 2013, a move that turned heads and generated significant media attention. Four years later, Katy Perry made a similar move, opting for a new haircut and a bold look that some say was inspired by Miley’s transformation.
But Trace didn’t stop there. He also accused Perry of shifting her music style in a bid to emulate Miley’s success. “Now, you’re going to do the same stuff that Miley did and blow up,” Trace continued. “Guess what? It didn’t f—ing work.”
According to Trace, when Perry’s shift into hip-hop and EDM music failed to deliver the expected results, her team turned to another drastic stunt—her 11-minute space flight. “They just tried some EDM song or some s— because EDM’s hot. Didn’t f—ing work, and now they’re going to send your a– to space. Didn’t f—ing work! It’s backfiring,” he said.
The accusations come at a time when Katy Perry’s space flight, which took place earlier this week, has been met with a fair amount of criticism and backlash. The stunt sparked debates among fans and critics, with some questioning the authenticity of her efforts to regain public attention.
Trace’s comments further fuel the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Perry, as she continues to attempt various strategies to revive her career. However, as Trace points out, these moves have yet to make the desired impact.
With both Perry’s career and Miley’s ongoing success in the spotlight, Trace’s social media rant has added fuel to the fire, leaving fans to wonder if Katy Perry’s attempts to emulate Miley’s success will ever truly pay off.
