Katy Perry gets into the Catalan controversy with a 'simple' gif

Or Katy Perry lives oblivious to what happens in the world around her or the procés has not gone so far. That or actually knows about the Catalan situation and has decided to send a camouflaged political message to promote their next concert in Barcelona. Any of these theories can be read in the last hours on social networks, where the American singer has become a trend for the colors and symbolism chosen to announce the landing of his tour in Spain .



Shortly before ten o'clock in the morning (one hour less in the Canary Islands) the community manager of Katy Perry , if she has one, announced with great fanfare on her different social networks that she and her Witness The Tour will make a technical stop in Spain to delight his followers with a concert. The chosen city has been Barcelona . The date, Thursday, June 28 . Ticket prices range from 45 euros for the cheapest to 105 euros for the Premium Seat without counting what the VIP Packs can cost.



While many of his followers were congratulated for being able to see their favorite singer live on national territory, the controversy broke out . Nothing to do with the price of tickets, if not suddenly the debate over the situation in Catalonia slipped into the announcement of a concert because of the graphic designer who made the gif and the singer who, presumably, who will have seen it before launching it.

Go ahead that both the one used to announce the concert in Seoul and the one in Portugal were also tuned with typical motifs of the place. However, in Spain the atmosphere is heated and tense. As much that the detail of which the American singer has chosen the colors of the Spanish flag to promote its arrival to Barcelona has not liked to all the same. The colors and that shield in the corner that appears by surprise as the animation progresses.

The ruckus was served as soon as you hit the publish button. In his Instagram account a few have not seen the chromatic palette and the symbology with good eyes because they do not represent them and they have complained bitterly. "What does the shield of that country do there? You go to Catalunya, not to Spain "," Not Spain "or" ¡Katy, who facho you are, how dare you! "Are some of those that can be read. In some, irony is intuited. On the other side, those who remember the first ones that Barcelona is Spain and those who, it seems, do not even know what is happening and ask for information about it. A ruckus



On Twitter it is actually where the thing is most animated and where it is easier to follow the reactions to the colorful and controversial gif chosen to announce a concert. On the one hand there are those who criticize that, according to them, they are positioned in the Catalan theme with this design. On the other, those who applaud her for, according to them, have opted. And then there are those who criticize the design itself, its aesthetics, beyond having a message, another or none. Except for saying that he comes to Spain, of course.
