Katy Perry is aware of the shadow cast over her new look.
Perry, 39, unveiled a layered bob on Instagram on Monday, April 29, before showing it off again American idol. The social media clip features celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, with whom he has worked Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez And Rosalia – is seen giving Perry a spiky cut, with strands sticking out in contrasting directions.
“Thoughts, comments, concerns?” Perry captioned the post, which drew honest reactions from fans. “Someone needs to keep the scissors away from your head,” one social media user wrote, while a second fan added: “Don’t get carried away girl.”
While some fans disagreed with the naysayers and called the makeover “HOT,” Perry shared a follow-up post to address the negative comments.
“Slide 4 for all the KatyRats,” Perry captioned a carousel of pictures of the hair transformation, directing fans to a video in which she said, “Y’all had strong feelings about my haircut.” Let’s save that energy for KP6, because that’s just a wig.”
Perry began announcing her next era of music — which she called KP6 — earlier this month.
At the 10th Annual Breakthrough Awards on April 13 in Los Angeles, Perry paired her black, statuesque Coperni dress with a clear glass bag that contained only a white piece of paper with the words “KP6: Top Secret” written on it.
The project will be her sixth full-length album. She dropped her last record, Smilein August 2020. Her discography also includes witness (2017), PRISM (2013), Teenage dream (2010) and One of the boys (2008).
Perry expressed her desire to return to the studio in February when she announced plans to leave the studio American idol. The series is currently in its 22nd season and Perry’s seventh as a judge.
“I love this show so much, but I want to see the world and maybe bring new music,” she said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “I think this will probably be my last show. I love Idol so much. It connected me to the heart of America, but I feel like I need to go out and feel that pulse at my own pace.”
