As Perry recently wrote on Twitter about artists using product placements in their music videos, she apparently didn’t mean Britney Spears, states Hollyscoop. “Do it w/style & grace…Not so in ur face like some. U hv to get creative w/it. Some artists don’t care tho, & u can tell,” Perry wrote soon after Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” video was released with a number of product placements.
However, once the media connected the two, she wanted everyone to know it wasn’t a comment about anyone specific: “Dear tabloid media aka FILTH: pls note I expressed an overall feeling bout product placement, their roles in vids & the art of them being complimenting or sticking out.Most, if not ALL popsters welcome deals w/products 2 offset costs of big budget vids in these recessional music industry times. I’VE used them in MY vids before & am happy 2b able 2 make a better vid because of. Once AGAIN, stop pitting artists against artist for ur sensational satisfaction & stick to what ur best @: lying, gossiping, exaggerating & overall lending a hand 2 the deterioration of a generation.”
