Katy Perry’s Grammy Awards Dress Has Become A Truly Glorious Meme
"Did Katy Perry mean to remind us of the dolls our grandmothers used to cover up spare rolls of toilet paper?"
The Grammy Awards are finally done and dusted for another year, with Kacey Musgraves emerging victorious by taking home the coveted Album of the Year for her record Golden Hour.
The country artist — who’ll be touring Australia in May, just so you know — also picked up the gongs for Best Country Album, Best Country Song, and Best Country Performance for ‘Space Cowboy’ and ‘Butterflies’, respectively. Childish Gambino was also a big winner, taking out Record of the Year and Song of the Year for ‘This Is America‘.
It was a big night for music, sure, but it was also a big night for memes. Singer Katy Perry might not have taken home any ~important~ awards at the ceremony, but her Balmain red carpet dress has now become the Awards’ biggest and most ludicrous meme.
Here’s the original dress, as posted to Perry’s Facebook:

After all the roasting, Katy Perry didn’t seem to be too fussed:
Well done internet, well done.
