During her performance at her PLAY Las Vegas Residency in August 2023, the 38-year-old pop star hinted at the imminent arrival of her upcoming musical era, jokingly referencing it as the 'KP6 era', as per People magazine.
This playful tease had fans buzzing with excitement and anticipation for what the singer-songwriter has in store for her next chapter in music.
“If you couldn’t love me in my Witness and Smile eras, then you can’t love me in my KP6 era,” The One That Got Away' songstress added.
'KP6' is set to be the next thing in Katy Perry's discography, following her 2020 album 'Smile.'
During her performance at the prestigious Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, Perry made sure to mention both 'Smile' and her previous album 'Witness' from 2017.
While 'Witness' reached the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and 'Smile' peaked at No. 5, they were not as commercially successful as Perry's earlier releases, particularly her smash hit album 'Teenage Dream' in 2010.
