Katy Perry's announced her new album: 'Witness'. (And there's a tour)

  • May 15, 2017
  • Brad O'Mance

'Non Appétit' hitmaker Katy Perry has announced that her new album, 'Witness', is out on June 9.

Fans sort of knew something was happening today given that she'd plastered posters all over New York's Times Square, but here we are.

This is how Katy teased the news yesterday, featuring a clip of the song 'Witness' which has sort of done the rounds a bit already and many fans feel could be the key to Katy putting things back together after 'Bon Appétit' didn't really seem to do what it was supposed to do.
