Katy Perry Practically Went Topless in See-Through Armor for Her New Album Cover

KatyCats rejoice, because mother has finally announced the title and release date for her upcoming studio album. On Wednesday, Katy Perry shared the cover art for her new project with some details surrounding it's release.

The Instagram carousel included the album cover, which shows Perry in a totally see-through plastic armor-like bodice with exaggerated shoulders and hips. A iridescent sarong also wraps around her waist and legs as she appears to float in the air with a circular tie-dye background. Her long black hair was worn down and wind-swept. Her minimal glam look included fringed lashes and a peach-colored lip.

The second slide in the post was a video featuring the covers for each different medium, including two vinyl sleeves—the second captures Perry with blue-and-pink tubes wrapped around her hips, chest, neck, and arms.

In the caption, Perry shared that her sixth studio album would be called 143, which is code for "I love you," and was often used in the '90s after sending messages to a pager. The album will be available on September 20.

"143
THE ALBUM
SEPTEMBER 20TH
PRE-ORDER NOW
KatyPerry.com," she captioned the post.

"I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message," Perry explained in a statement.

Perry's album has already been a hot topic among fans. Social media was divided over her new song, "Woman's World," which drops tomorrow, July 11. Haters had thoughts after she released a sneak peek of the track, however, after sharing a second snippet, hype surrounding the new single began to grow.

The star even pulled a Taylor Swift (no bad blood here) by dropping a not-so-subtle Easter egg when in Paris for the couture shows. The star wore a red velvet bodycon minidress with the longest train, maybe ever, that was emblazoned with lyrics from the new tune.

When she wasn't being a walking promotion for her new work, Perry walked the Vogue World: Paris runway in a barely-there leather dress made of more cutouts than dress.
