The 'Witness' superstar is on the cover of the mag's first ever 'live' issue...
Hey!
Now, nothing ever last forever, no
One minute you're here and the next you're gone
So I respect you, wanna take it slow
I need a mental receipt to know this moment I owe
Do you mind if I steal a kiss, tho? (Chop, chop)
A little souvenir, can I steal it from you?
To memorize the way you shock me
The way you move it here (hey)
Just wanna feel it from you (hey)
Don't be afraid to catch feels
Ride drop top and chase thrills (hey)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (hey)
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
Feels with me
I'm your window shopper, sucker for your love, oh
I'm wearing your goggles, virtual reality
It ain't what it cost you, it might be a dollar
As long as it shocks you, memory, electricity
Do you mind if I steal a kiss, tho? (Chop, chop)
A little souvenir, can I steal it from you? (Oh, yeah)
To memorize the way you shock me (yeah)
The way you move it here (hey)
Just wanna feel it from you (hey)
Don't be afraid to catch feels (ha)
Ride drop top and chase thrills (oh-oh-oh, oh)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (hey)
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels (straight up)
Feels with me (woah)
Goddamn, I know you love to make an entrance (babe)
Do you like getting paid or getting paid attention? (Like, woah)
You mixed the wrong guys with the right intentions
In the same bed, but it still feel long distance (yeah, yeah)
She's looking for a little more consistency (I know)
But when you stop looking, you gon' find what's meant to be
And honestly, I'm way too done with the hoes (no)
I cut off all my exes for your x and o's
I feel my old flings was just preparing me (me)
When I say I want you, say it back, parakeet (par')
Fly in first-class through the air, Airbnb (woah)
I'm the best you had, you just be comparing me to me (woah)
I'ma at this at you, if I put you on my phone (woah)
And upload it, it'll get maximum views
I came in through in the clutch with the lipsticks and phones
Wear your fave cologne just to get you alone
Don't be afraid to catch feels (ha)
(Don't be afraid to catch these feels)
Ride drop top and chase thrills (yeah)
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (I know)
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
(Woah, woah, woah)
Feels with me
Don't be afraid to catch feels (no, no)
Don't be afraid, baby
Don't be afraid
Ride drop top and chase thrills (woah, okay)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills
I know, I know, I know
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
Feels with me
Before she sets off to space to host this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, a futuristic Katy Perry takes over the streets of Europe in a new virtual issue of ‘W Magazine’.
The ‘Bon Appétit’ singer is all about that couture life in the high-fashion photo shoot, donning everything from some major PVC thigh-high boots to a very Parisian cocktail dress with fur draped round her shoulders.
She looks absolutely stunning, whether posing in the rain or when she’s transformed into a robot. I mean, how many people can pull that off?
Perry’s bold new look is serving her well, and she can’t get enough of her new short hair, telling the magazine “I feel very free. I must have loosened up some new chakras.”
The ‘Witness’ campaign has transformed the singer from girl-next-door to a carefree punk, which she says is a result of a spiritual evolution.
“I feel so liberated with this hair now. In general, I feel 360-degrees liberated—all around. Whether it’s politically, mentally, spiritually, sexually. I feel liberated from all the things that don’t serve me. I’m surrendering and embracing my 30s.”
“You couldn’t give me anything to go back to my 20s. To get to this place, I had to do some much-needed work on my heart, soul, mind, and body. Since doing that, a lot of beautiful things started to bloom again.”
Well, while it’s not the best news for us 20-somethings, at least this doesn’t make 30 seem so scary!
As the show host and a performer, Katy is on double duty at the 2017 VMAs - where she’s also nominated for FIVE awards - when they take place on August 27.
We can’t wait to see what she has in store for us…
