Katy Perry has been slammed by Miley Cyrus’ brother Trace Cyrus, in an astonishing rant he posted on his Instagram this Friday.

The tirade comes at the end of a week in which Katy, 40, was fiercely criticized and brutally mocked for her role in Jeff Bezos’ all-female Blue Origin space flight.

As one of the passengers on the 11-minute excursion, Katy was especially derided for singing to fellow travelers during the journey and kissing the ground after they landed, among other treacly moments that were captured on camera.

Now, however, the pop star has come in for brickbats over her career track over the past several years – which Trace claims has been derivative of his sister.

He even joked that Katy’s decision to go blonde and acquire a pixie cut in 2017 was a copy of Miley’s decision to adopt a similar hairdo four years earlier.

Trace blisteringly laid into Katy, quipping that her supposed attempts to stay relevant ‘didn’t f***ing work, and now they’re going to send your a** to space. Didn’t f***ing work! It’s not working. It’s backfiring. Stop!’

He unleashed the stunning diatribe in a shirtless Instagram video, showing off his sprawl of tattoos and his nipple piercings.

‘I first knew Katy Perry, though, and her team were lame as f*** when her career was first dying,’ he joked: ‘and they were like: “Hmm, what can we do? Well, what worked for Miley? She cut her hair off and it broke the internet and everybody freaked out and she bleached it blonde. We should do that with you, Katy!”’ 

Mimicking a meeting, he said: ‘Katy’s like: “Yeah, yeah, we should! Should we do it slightly different?” “No, we’re gonna do it exactly the same!”’
