Your New Wire, notorious purveyor of fake news and inventor of ridiculous celebrity quotes, reported in January 2018 that singer Katy Perry had recommended people pray to Satan to experience a whole extra level of amazing. YourNewsWire reported that Perry made the comments at a fashion event in Los Angeles on 16 January 2018: There is no evidence that the singer made these comments, although Perry did attend the star-studded Stella McCartney Stellabration fashion event and party in Los Angeles. She has often been the focus of moral panic-tinged occult rumors perhaps fueled by her professional progression from Christian-themed musician to sometimes-risque pop singer who campaigned for 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (who is also often the focus of satanism and occult hoaxes). Perry's only on-the-record comment at the event that we could find was to the style and culture publication The Cut: YourNewsWire often concocts false celebrity quotes, though in recent days they've given Perry special focus. On 10 January 2018 the site falsely claimed that she, along with Meryl Streep and Chesea Clinton, were members of an elite cannibal club. They also falsely reported in January 2018 that singer Dolly Parton blamed California's recent weather-related to disasters on Satan worship. One month earlier they falsely claimed that actor Denzel Washington had referred to former U.S. President Barack Obama as the criminal-in-chief.
