Katy Perry duped by viral meme, thinks quarantined Italians are singing her song 'Roar'

Katy Perry is pretty psyched that “a whole neighborhood in Italy is singing ‘Roar’ while under quarantine, saying “you cannot break the human spirit”:

You cannot break the human spirit. We are one in this. ♥️?? https://t.co/XOa0rTVNwB

Except this is a meme and they are not singing her song:

Oh my god celebs are so stupid. This is a meme. They aren’t singing your song https://t.co/yR99EL3MqT

Here’s the original FWIW:

This is the original audio. For ppl who don’t know the joke/meme is to overlay the Italian ppl signing vids with other funny songs. I know celebs aren’t super online but like come on ? pic.twitter.com/K4CSCXcsHH

Well, at least we can come together at this perilous time to mock dumb celebs.
