SINGER Katy Perry slithers in to a launch for her new album in a snakeskin-print bra, mini dress and elbow-length gloves.

The toned I Kissed a Girl star, 39, who also had on shades, turned heads at a venue in LA’s West Hollywood for a party to mark the release of 143, at which she also sang.

Katy is roaring again after dropping her latest single Lifetimes.

And as she prepares for the release of her new dance-inspired album 143 next month, we can report the Firework singer is lining up something very special to kick-start her comeback.

Insiders have revealed Katy is in advanced talks to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 10, which takes place ten days before 143 drops.

It will be the first time Katy has performed at the ceremony since 2019, and she has picked up five of the prized MTV Moonmen gongs throughout her career.

On top of that, it will be the first time she has performed any of her new material since returning to the music scene earlier this summer.

A source said: “Katy is currently deep in talks to make her big return to the VMAs stage.

“Details are still being ironed out but she’s a huge star and bosses are determined to lock in the deal.

“The last time Katy performed on the show was in 2019, so it is set to be a huge moment.

“She’s already been travelling the world to promote her new single but next month is set to be even busier for her.

“Katy is one of the world’s biggest pop superstars and this new record and a performance at the VMAs would cement that.”
