It gets a little blurrier with pop stars though. How much of what we think we know as Katie Perry or Rihanna is really them? How many of the 'authentic' bursts of personality are real, and how many are artificial? And to what degree might they themselves not be able to tell the difference even?
While I personally am not a fan of this kind of artificiality, I'm also not saying it's something to be outraged about. I find it fascinating, more than anything.

It was too scary’" - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jun/11/katy-perry-interview-witness-album-glastonbury https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jun/11/katy-perry-int... Was just interesting in the light of choosing Katy as an example.
