She's popular. And she does pop music. Pop music per se is generated for the lowest common denominator, it aspires to please as many people as possible to sell huge numbers. So why do you confuse pop with art? Art isn't about pleasing anyone or selling tons of copies. She doesn't create art, she creates a product that shitloads of people are buying. Her outfit just helps in standing out of the masses and making sure that she is being talked about.

If you don't like her, ignore her.
