Katy Perry throws shade at Britney Spears

Katy Perry should've had a great night at the 2017 Grammys. She's officially back, her new single Chained to the Rhythm's doing pretty-bloody-brilliantly and everyone's excited to be a KatyCat all over again. The thing is, though, she sort of made light of Britney Spears' mental health on the red carpet and no one's particularly happy about it.

Yup - discussing her break from the whole popstar malarky, Katy explained that she's been working on her 'mental health' and referenced that moment Britney infamously shaved her head back in 2007.

Not cool, Katy. NAHT cool.

When asked what the hell she's been up to lately, Katy told Ryan Seacrest: "[I've been] taking care of [my] mental health;" something she says was 'fantastic.'

So far so good, right? Um, yeah - until she added: "I haven't shaved my head yet." Now obviously the comment was in jest, but the internet didn't take kindly to Katy's little joke at the expense of Britney's mental health.

Some suggested Chained to the Rhythm's a bit shite in comparison to Toxic ET AL.

Some were quick to bring up Britney's Best Dance Recording Grammys win.

The Mariah Carey GIF got used. A lot.

Again with the Grammys win.

And one even called her 'sis.' So pass agg, pal.

What d'ya make of that, eh?
