The pop star plans to drop “Woman’s World” on July 11th at 7 p.m. ET, with the official video to premiere the following day. She also revealed the single's cover art, wearing a see-through white bikini and futuristic, metallic armor-like pants.

However, after the pop star previewed the new song on social media, fans were not impressed. The 39-year-old posted a video from the set of what looks like to be for the single's accompanying music video. With the wind blowing her long, black hair and lip-syncing to "Woman's World," Perry points at her temple with the accompanying lyrics, "Sexy, confident. So intelligent."

As Perry pans the phone camera across her body to a low angle showing off her underboob cleavage, she then makes a muscle with her left arm and kisses it. Fans were blown away by her undeniable beauty and proclaimed things like "MOTHER" in the comments section.

Over on X (formerly Twitter), the former American Idol judge was bashed for the cover art and the snippet. One user, whose commentary went viral, wrote: "obsessed with this new trend of failing pop stars (and their management teams) trying to serve manufactured c--- in an attempt to appeal to lowest common denominator gay guys." Added another, "Sophie, ARCA, and Charli influence can not be overstated enough when it comes to this new era of pop music."

Meanwhile, another person said in another viral post of the teaser, "I was rooting for Katy but these lyrics are so dated it’s giving 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign material [sobbing emoji] it’s over." Commented one person, "It’s a Ava max reject too :( " Added another, "she is a way better songwriter than this. i don’t understand what is going on with her :( "

Commenting on the single artwork, one person said: "Bushwick Basic is beginning to infect all corners of society… we are about to see Rue21 models in bayonetta glasses and faux leather moto jackets… pestilential." Stated another: "Last two albums flopped, no hits since bon appetit and swish swish, harleys in hawaii streams aren’t paying the bills anymore, landlord knocking on the door, she has ONE chance…"

Additionally, since the new single is produced by Dr. Luke, more fans are pointing out Kesha's latest X post to be shade towards Katy. One fan said, "You have to be one of the biggest losers in pop music to go back to the abuser of someone you called your 'friend.'" Added another: "Don’t be shy, who wrote and produced it?" A third criticized: "first of all these likes are bought , second of all … womans world … produced by no other than dr Luke… the same man who abused Kesha.. but woman’s world right."

5 Artists We Want To See Play The Sphere In Vegas

After years and millions of dollars, the high-tech entertainment venue that is the Las Vegas Sphere has become "a world-first immersive destination." The venue first opened in Las Vegas in September 2023, snagging U2 with an ongoing concert residency starting on September 29 and running through March 2. The band's longtime collaborator and technical director Stefaan “Smasher” Desmedt and technology partner Weka worked together to make the band’s stunning visual imagery in 4K video.

The Future of Entertainment

The Sphere’s LED screen inside the theater is 160,000 square feet, boasting 16,000 pixels by 16,000 pixels — the highest resolution in the world. Also featuring 1,600 speaker panels using spatial audio through the screen without any visible speakers in the auditorium, the venue makes those in attendance fully immersed in sound and visuals. The arena can hold up to 18,600 guests in the auditorium. It is no wonder why the company wants to expand, as it is clearly leading the entertainment industry in the right direction.

Besides U2, rumors of Beyoncé planning a Las Vegas residency at the Sphere swirled after her Super Bowl country album announcement in which she sat atop the glowing globe. Partnering with Verizon in the $50 million advertisement, the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer tries to break the internet over and over again. Taking on different personas and skills, she opens a lemonade stand, drops a "saxy" album, becomes a Twitch gamer by the handle @IamSlayoncé, a Beyonc-AI double, Bar-Bey, running for "BOTUS," on top of the Sphere atop a silver horse, and the first woman to launch the first rocket to the first performance in space. The commercial concluded by cryptically teasing the release of "new music," Beyoncé's country album, Act II, on March 29th.

According to the Sphere's website, the immersive venue will host a wide variety of events, including concerts and residencies from the world’s biggest artists, as well as films. Take a look below at five amazing pop artists who would have amazing performances at the Sphere:

With nine albums under her belt, Pink is a seasoned pop artist that would have an amazing residency at the Sphere. Her sound is unique, with her rock-influenced pop songs and powerful voice. She is also known for her aerial acrobatic stage presence in imaginative and creative ways. The artist would be a sight to see when accompanied with stunning visuals that would blow her fans away.


Taylor Swift

Obviously, anywhere Taylor Swift would play would be sold out in seconds. The record-breaking pop icon performing a residency at the Sphere would be an iconic feat that Swifties would hold dear forever. Though Taylor isn't exactly known for crazy visuals like Pink, we know she has an artistic vision when it comes to her visuals. If Swift were to play the Sphere, it would be interesting to see what kind of cinematic visuals she would have playing around her to accompany her acclaimed music catalog.


Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is well-known for her elaborate stage and costumes. If she were to have a residency at the Sphere, we are sure she would go all-out for her Little Monsters. Her versatility and energy is unmatched in the pop industry. Gaga's commitment to her art is impressive. Along with that, her music videos are always well-thought out and creative, and she would surely bring that creative vision to the Sphere.

The rising pop star may not have several albums under her belt like these other seasoned musicians, but she has quickly proven she has the chops to remain a staple in the pop industry. We have already seen her live performances wow audiences with her use of the stage, incorporating moving and climbable objects, suspends herself in the air, and perfect choreography -- all while belting out her hits perfectly. Performing at the Sphere would only cement her status as a pop icon with the visuals we are sure would blow the audience away.

Katy Perry's live performances are as iconic as Pink and Lady Gaga's when we think of elaborate stage sets and costumes. With a more whimsical flair, Perry would turn the Sphere into a magical world when performing songs from her six albums. She has larger-than-life concerts and gives her fans exactly what they want: fun. She has had a Vegas residency before, so if she were to play at the Sphere, we know the pop icon would provide mind-blowing visuals to accompany her set.
