Katy Perry has revealed her plans for the future as she wraps up her Play residency in Las Vegas. In an interview with Out, the 38-year-old singer and American Idol judge expressed her love for making music and spreading light and love. She also hinted at a new album and tour, saying that she is “due” to go out and see the fans who couldn’t make it to Vegas. Perry’s residency began in late December 2021 and will end later this year.
Exciting news for Katy Perry fans! Although she’s still in the midst of her Play residency in Vegas, Katy is already looking ahead to future projects. She’ll be dropping a new album and hitting the road for a tour in the near future.
In a recent interview with Out, the 38-year-old singer and American Idol judge shared her thoughts on her Play residency in Las Vegas. The residency has already concluded its seventh leg, with three more legs planned for mid-May, late July and early August, and early October to early November. Perry expressed her pride in the show, calling it an all-thriller, no-filler greatest hits show that she wishes she could bring to the rest of the world. However, she acknowledged that it’s not technically possible due to the logistics of carting around OTT toilets and bathtubs.
Perry also spoke about closing the chapter on her residency, which allows her to start a new chapter. She expressed excitement for the potential of her story to continue. The singer revealed that she had been thinking about the residency pre-pandemic, but the COVID-19 pandemic allowed her the time to plan it out properly. As a result, she has many memories of coming to Las Vegas, where she used to vacation with her family and visit her grandmother.
The Play shows pay homage to the LGBTQ community, and Perry admitted that she wouldn’t be where she is in her career without their support. She credited the community with being big admirers, fans, and influences on her. Perry further revealed that the fanbase that comes to the Play show is very much the LGBTQ community, which makes up approximately 50% of the audience.
Closing out: The seventh installment of the residency came to a close with Saturday night’s show. The next leg is scheduled for mid-May, followed by another in late July to early August, and the final stretch will run from early October to early November.
Before the outbreak of COVID-19, the artist had been contemplating the idea of a residency. However, the global pandemic gave her the opportunity to properly strategize and organize it.
Interconnected: “There is a strong sense of interconnectedness that I feel towards this place. It holds a special place in my heart, as it used to be our go-to vacation spot. Whenever we came to Vegas, I always made sure to visit my grandmother. Fond memories flood back as I recall my parents dropping us off in the basement of the Excalibur hotel. Everything about this place is etched in my memory.”
List of dreams: While juggling her forthcoming album and tour, there is still one major aspiration that she hopes to fulfill – the opportunity to serve as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
You don’t want to miss this! Yesterday, Katy Perry dazzled in a stunning yellow dress on American Idol and later posted some photos on her Instagram account to show off her gorgeous look.
The sight of her revealed her toned stomach as she donned a short halter crop top. She believes that the audience feels connected to the music and finds solace in the show’s over-the-top nature. Perry describes it as a show for the community, and she’s channeling her inner Cher, Liza Minnelli, and pop princess. She changes costumes constantly, giving the audience what she thinks they want. Despite working on new music and planning future tours, she has one more item on her bucket list- to be a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Perry is a massive fan of the show and RuPaul himself, and she’s inspired by it every day. They’re merely figuring out the ideal date for her appearance on the iconic show.
