Despite lifting official and/or animated music videos for every song on the album, slashing its first-week price twice (as we reported here), and embarking on an aggressive promotional tour in its support, music buyers are apparently still scowling at ‘Smile’ – the latest LP from Katy Perry.

Its performance in week 2 spelled even worse.  See what we mean inside:

Most recently dropping jaws with her sociopolitical clip for song ‘Still’ (which featured her dressed as different victims of police brutality like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd), the R&B sexpot’s now dropping draws in the new music video for the steamy ‘1800-One-Night.’

The self-directed affair sees Taylor providing late night service as a sex operator and seducing her customers to a private room of their call center.
