Katy Perry blasted for destroying birthday cake as dancers eat it off floor

Katy Perry is getting blasted online for destroying her 40th birthday cake, which her backup dancers ended up eating off the floor.

The pop star celebrated the milestone backstage following a recent stop on her ongoing Lifetimes Tour.

Still dressed in costume from the show, Perry was filmed surrounded by her crew members as she blew out the candles on a large sheet cake.

She then picked up the cake and tried to chuck it at a suit-clad man wearing a headset, but she missed, and it ended up on the floor.

The singer laughed as a few of her dancers approached the demolished dessert, bent down and scooped up some bites to try.

A “genuinely confused and upset” X user, who claims — perhaps somewhat sarcastically — that her mother baked the cake, posted the video and criticized Perry for her behavior.

“my mom was the one that baked this cake, she was so excited about the opportunity to make a cake for Katy Perry and spent so long on it, im genuinely confused and upset as to why she would do this,” the X user shared, prompting furious fans to weigh in.

“I wonder what having that mindset is like, to just throw away a whole cake everyone could’ve enjoyed… and then leaving that mess on the floor for someone else to clean up cause I know damn well she ain’t pick up no broom and mop after lol,” one critic replied.

Someone else echoed those sentiments, writing, “the craziest craziest part is that someone else is gonna clean that s–t up.”

Another netizen noted, “Never understand why people throw or push people’s faces into them, such a waste 😞,” while a fourth observed, “lowk[ey] feel bad for her crew cause they looked excited for some cake.”

According to one person, “Katy can’t do anything without being cringe AF.”

However, a few defenders argued that “she paid for it and she can do whatever the f–k she wants with it.”

Someone else pointed out that “sometimes celebrities accept cakes [from fans] but ruin them to avoid possible poisoning. The decent ones try to stage it as an accident though.”

Reps for Perry did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
