Ken Ham Blasts Katy Perry's Halftime Show As 'Meaningless Garbage'
Creationist Ken Ham recently blasted the haftime performance of Katy Perry at last Sunday's Super Bowl game, calling the artist's song lyrics "meaningless garbage."
Ham, who is the CEO and president of the Creation Museum, took to Facebook this week to blast Perry's performance of one of her hit songs "I Kissed a Girl."
"So what does that mean with today's cultural trends?! I had the words on my TV as she 'sang' — most of them didn't even make sense — meaningless garbage — do church young people follow Katy Perry? I hope not! Sensuous and evil! But it is a sad peek into the real state of much of the coming generation!" Ham wrote.
Perry sang some of her hit songs during Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show, including "Roar," "Teenage Dream," and "Firework." She was also joined by Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott on stage.
Others critics have offered different opinions of Perry's halftime performance, including Spencer Kornhaber with The Atlantic.
Kornhaber wrote in a review that Perry "got a little bit lost in the fever dream around her, though she should receive the metallic-lion's share of credit for however much one did or didn't enjoy the show."
"The imagery here wasn't merely recycled from the collective unconsciousness. It was refurbished and made coherent—fabulous, unsettling, LOL-worthy—by Perry's personal brand of cheer, which is to say the empty kind. A spectacle about spectacle; just what the Super Bowl needed."
The Patriots won Sunday night's Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks 28 to 24.
