===The Story of "Werk" – The Blow Off===
Four months after she did her “Werk” performance, one of her fans commented on one of her photos on Instagram that Katy Perry just tweeted her “Werk” solo. Little Weirdo went confused to her parents and told them about it. They thought at the beginning it cannot be for real, must be a fake account  and got really excited about it, while Kaycee (10) had no clue what was going on here and kept it by a simple “Cool!”. But then the parents explained her proudly, that the princess of pop, who has sold over 150 million records, pointed on her video by link to her entire over 38 millions Tweeter followers and many already forwarded it to their followers such as RuPaul and Wadley.

The effect was an instant blow off of the video counter and it got trendy. About a million views over night. In these days it might be normal that dozens of dance videos go viral per day (means more than about 250,000+ views total), and especially it’s normal for Kaycee that one of her dance performances passed over a million views, but in 2013 it was very rare, and about a non-televised kid dance competition, it was pretty much unique. It got so much attention of public eye that CNN bothered to live interview her. Sadly the entire promotion process is not well documented.

When Shengela Laquifa Wadley visited her at Studio 13 in Simi Valley, they talked about the lot of inspiring comments people left under the video, but actually the milk turned sour very fast. Mean and disgusting comments appeared more often and suddenly her mom had to jump in as personal firewall to protect her daughter from the trolls, perverts, haters and overreacting parents. <!--That’s properly the reason why Katy Perry never tweeted about other kid performances again. But she didn’t need to, after she made together with the Backpack Kid performance already him a Shorty Award winner before Kaycee. Nevertheless,--> Her entire family started to get wet feet, had to learn the hard way to deal with both – fan-storms and shit-storms – and needed to develop an elephant skin.

Well, the promotion effect didn’t last forever. After The Queen Latifath Show the “Werk” got more and more forgotten. But it peaked there when Kaycee found a big golden label on her cabin door with her name on it and the credits of her choreographers and family were keeping the train roll forward with new gigs and projects afterwards.
