Katy Perry’s new album 143 is officially out, and she celebrated by hopping on Instagram to show off the vinyl in a backless top that my early aughts self would have absolutely died for. Basically what we have here is a giant butterfly masquerading as a shirt.
143 is Katy’s seventh studio album, and she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that it’s her angel number. “A couple years ago, we were going through a little bit of a hard time medically in our family, and it was a little bit scary,” she said. “And I started seeing 143 in many different ways, not just, like, on the phone. It was just like trippy, almost. And I looked it up, and it’s code for ‘I love you.'”
Katy also recently won the Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs, where she told fans in part “I’m excited when I look around music today, and I see all the amazing young artists who are operating with confidence, agency, vulnerability and authenticity. I’ve heard a lot of ‘Do this, don’t say that, wear less, wear more now. Hey, don’t cut your hair.’ One of the biggest reasons I’m standing here right now is I learned how to block out all the noise that every single artist in this industry has to constantly fight against, especially women. I just wanna say with my whole heart, do whatever it takes to stay true to yourself and true to your art. Turn off social media, safeguard your mental health, pause, touch grass. And do what you were born to do just like I was born to do this. 143 comes out September 20. I love you!”
