Katy Perry Elmo on Saturday Night Live

It wasn’t exactly surprising when Katy Perry’s recent segment for Sesame Street was “deemed too racy”. The incident didn’t seem to make the pop star frown, however. She, in fact, wore a low-cut Elmo t-shirt during a recent Saturday Night Live skit.

Her Sesame Street segment had been scheduled to air during the show’s 41st season premier on September 27th. It has been axed, but to poke fun at it all, Perry played “a busty 16-year-old library volunteer named Maureen Dichico” in her SNL skit. Maureen was a guest on a talk show, hosted by Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, who remarked on how large Dichico’s chest had gotten since the last time they’d seen her.

“Look at Elmo, his head’s all stretched out!” Rudolph exclaimed.

What’s your take? Is it good that the singer can still smile? Or is she making light of something serious?
