Katy Perry Announces 2024 Release of Her ‘Most Personal’ Album

Katy Perry is set to release her first album in four years in 2024. Sources say the new record will feature the “most personal” music of her career.

The pop star’s last release was her sixth album, Smile, in 2020, which charted in the top five in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US.

The long-awaited sequel could be released in the new year, as a source told The Sun’s Bizarre column (per Music News): “Katy has been working on her most personal album ever for much of the past two years.

“She has been doing it on her own terms and it is quite different from anything she has released before.”

Perry will also be touring to promote the album, something she has done since her Witness tour in 2017, but did nothing in 2018. For the past two years, she has performed in plays at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas.

The source added: “But after so long spent on the West Coast of the US, she feels ready to tour again. The demand is there because she has so many hits, so taking her show on the road is bound to be a big draw.

“The hope is that she can head out towards the end of 2024, but it is still being worked out.”

Earlier this year, Perry Bloom and Orlando Bloom’s daughter, Daisy Dove, made her first public appearance at her mother’s final show in Las Vegas.

The three-year-old was seen on the big screen during the concert in November. In a fan video posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), the 39-year-old pop star gave a special greeting to her daughter before singing her 2008 single “Hot and Cold.”

“Daisy! I love you so much,” Perry said, as the camera cut to her toddler standing in the audience. The three-year-old was seen wearing a red and white polka dot dress with a white collar and long sleeves, as she sported pink headphones over her blonde hair. “You’re my best friend, I’m so glad you’re here,” the singer told Daisy, who then waved to her mother onstage and smiled.

“I’m gonna sing this next song. I think you know it, okay?” Perry continued, directly addressing her daughter. “It was in 2008 and mommy was a little bit wild back then.”

Daisy wasn’t the only one to make a big appearance at the final concert of Perry’s Las Vegas residency, which began in 2021 at the Resorts World Theater. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were also among the many faces who attended the Perry’s Play concert.
