Perry recently set down for an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, and they took a moment to discuss her future on American Idol. She shocked the audience by saying that the upcoming Season 22 will probably be her last alongside co-hosts Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

Making this decision wasn’t easy for Perry, who told Kimmel she loves The Idol “so much”, adding “It’s connected me with the heart of America but I feel like I need to feel that pulse to my own beat.”

Perry’s American Idol departure makes sense in the grand scheme of things because she has a lot of exciting plans for 2024. She’ll headline Rock in Rio in Brazil this fall, and she’s currently gearing up for the release of new music.

Perry joined American Idol in 2018 and stuck around for seven seasons, including the upcoming Season 22, set to premiere on February 12 on ABC. She’s open to coming back in the future, but her main goal for 2024 is to “see the world and maybe bring new music.”

A source close to the singer discussed her future plans with The Sun and revealed that Perry is plotting a big comeback for next year. Her upcoming album will be her “most personal” yet and she’s planning to tour with this record by the end of 2024 if everything goes according to plan.

This announcement doesn’t come as a huge shocker, given the statement Perry herself shared during an interview on Good Morning America earlier this year. The pop superstar said she’s been writing a lot of new music that comes “from a place of love”, but added that taking care of her young daughter Daisy is still her priority.

Despite the fact she hasn’t released any new music this year, 2023 has been pretty eventful for Perry. She headlines her own Las Vegas residency Play, put on an amazing show during the Coronation Concert of Charles III, and sold her music catalog to Litmus Music for an estimated $225 million.

Perry’s deal with Litmus includes the master recording royalties and music publishing rights to her five albums released by Universal Music Group’s Capitol Records: One Of The Boys (2008), Teenage Dream (2010), PRISM (2013), Witness (2017), and Smile (2020).

This is a smart move on Litmus’ side since Perry’s discography includes many smash hits that defined the 2010s. Teenage Dream alone produced five No. 1 singles – “California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream”, “Firework”, “E.T.”, and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”—becoming the first album by a woman in history with five chart-topping singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Litmus Music was founded in the summer of last year, and the company’s co-founder and CEO Hank Forsyth said they’re grateful to be working with Perry because her songs are “an essential part of the global cultural fabric” and her integrity shines in everything that she does.

Despite being one of the defining stars of the 2010s, Perry slowed her roll in recent years. It’s been three years since her last album Smile came out, and she’s mostly been focusing on her Las Vegas residency following its release.

Perry recently set down for an interview with Good Morning America to discuss her ongoing Las Vegas residency and plans for the future. She already performed several legs of her Play residency since its launch in late 2021, and she’ll close it with a series of dates in October and November.

Perry also revealed that she’s been working on some new music in recent years, and revealed that she’s “written a lot from a place of love” after giving birth to her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom with the actor Orlando Bloom.  

“I’m always writing, I have been, but I think what’s really important to me is to be celebrating the world that I’ve got to build with all of these wonderful songs and to be responsible for a life of a 3-year-old. I will be back, but let me get this right,” explained Perry.

Perry’s last studio album Smile came out in 2020, and it produced singles “Never Really Over”, “Harleys in Hawaii”, “Daisies”, “Smile”, and “Not the End of the World”.

In addition to One of the Boys turning 15 this month, its follow-up Teenage Dream will turn 13 in August, while Prism will turn 10 in October. These three albums are the crown jewels of Perry’s discography, and she’ll celebrate their big birthdays with the release of the Katy Perry CATalog Collector’s Edition box set.

“I don’t really believe in anniversaries, I don’t typically acknowledge them, but this was too good to be true this year. The math totally mathed. Those are monumental numbers and I figured we’d do something special with them,” said Perry on social media.

Katy Perry CATalog Collector’s Edition box set will be released on October 20, and it will feature limited edition versions of her first three albums, along with a seven-inch vinyl featuring unreleased songs “A Cup of Coffee” and “I Think I’m Ready”. Both songs were recorded for her breakout album One of the Boys, which produced her iconic singles “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot & Cold”.

Despite not being British performers, both Richie and Perry go a long way back with King Charles. Richie serves as the first chairman of the Global Ambassador Group for The Prince’s Trust since 2019, while Perry was appointed as the ambassador of his charity The British Asian Trust.

British pop group Take That will also grace the stage, with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen confirming their performance without Robbie Williams.

“This will be our first live show since the Odyssey Tour, four years ago in 2019, and what a stage to come back on! A huge live band and orchestra, a choir, military drummers, the backdrop of Windsor Castle and the celebration of a new King. We can’t wait,” said Take That in a statement.

The list of performers also includes Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, the English singer multi-instrumentalist Freya Ridings, and classical-soul composer-producer Alexis Ffrench. They’ll all perform at King Charles III’s coronation concert on May 7.

During American Idol’s Hollywood Week duets episode, after two of the contestants had some weird vibes, Perry said, “you guys are both on the same team. Don’t forget about that.”

She later huddled up with fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan and reflected on what Swift and her could do after finally ending their well-known feud.

“Can you imagine, if Taylor and I worked together, what we could do?” she whispered.

The singers had a longstanding feud which they ended in 2019 when Perry had a surprise appearance in Swift’s video “You Need to Calm Down”. Back in May 2020, Perry hinted at the possibility of a collab, saying she was “always open” for the opportunity in the future.

Can you imagine how epic a Perry and Swift collab would be?

Perry, who released her latest album Smile last year, will follow in Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, and Elton John’s footsteps.

According to Billboard, Perry will be taking up residency at Vegas’ new Resorts World casino, which has a 5,000-seater venue. Promoter giants AEG are running partnering to run the venue.

Details haven’t been revealed yet, but Resorts World will be opening this summer and the singer’s residency is expected to start towards the end of 2021 and run into 2022.

The American Idol judges’ latest album Smile came out in August last year. She also revealed that she’s planning on releasing an all-access-all-areas documentary focusing on the “juicy” details of her life, which will be inspired by Taylor Swift’s 2019 Netflix documentary Miss Americana.

Perry recently joined the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of Pokémon with Post Malone and J Balvin on a special anniversary record titled Pokémon 25: The Album.

The hilarious visual centers on a group of aliens obsessed with Katy Perry, that decide to abduct her and save her life before destroying Earth. Things don’t go according to plan when they make a tiny mistake and Deschanel ends up taking her place—and eventually saves Earth from destruction.

The physical resemblance between Perry and Deschanel has been a target of jokes and memes on countless occasions in the past. The New Girl actress even addressed it in an interview with The New York Magazine, saying “it’s a strange relationship to have with somebody.”

“Not the End of the World” has been released as the third single from Perry’s latest album Smile. It was released on August 28th, and it produced two top 40 singles with “Never Really Over” and “Daisies”.

“Never Worn White” shows Perry in two amazing outfits – elegant white gown and elaborate floral dress – but the final shot sees her changing into a sheer white outfit, and cradling her belly.

Perry described her pregnancy with fiancé Orlando Bloom as “the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep”, and said she decided to announce it through a piece of music because that’s the way she speaks to her fans.

The Grammy-nominated artist also revealed that “Never Worn White” won’t serve as the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album, but described it as “a good way to start out”.

Her latest single was preceded by tracks “Never Really Over”, “Small Talk”, “Harleys in Hawaii”, and the Zedd collaboration “365”, but it’s still unclear if they’re going to be featured on her next album.
