This is ridiculous! Katy Perry’s new massive hit “Roar” is it exact rip-off of a lesser-known artist by the name of Sara Bareilles! Her song, “Brave,” which preceded Perry’s hit, is the splitting image, or should I say splitting audio? Speaking of which, here’s a comparison mashup for your review!
I love you Katy, but you’re a total snake!!!
Katy Perry even tweeted earlier in the year professing her love for the Bareilles’ song! Are you kidding me?
I heart you @Sarabareilles : http://t.co/6BGGzoAibn

Upon the release of "Roar", many accused Perry of copying Sara Bareilles' "Brave".[22][31][32][33] When Bareilles herself was asked about the controversy between the two songs, she responded: "Katy's a friend of mine and we've known each other a really long time", and was upset that there was a "negative spin on two artists that are choosing to share positive messages." She also mentioned she had known about "Roar" before its release and stated "If I'm not mad I don't know why anybody else is upset".[34] In response to the accusations, Dr. Luke tweeted on August 14, 2013: "Roar was written and recorded before Brave came out."[35] In direct response to the attention "Brave" received as a result of the plagiarism accusations, Bareilles' record label, Epic Records, decided to promote "Brave" to the mainstream pop radio format.[36]
