It’s a huge day for Katy Perry, and she’s commemorating it with a brand new banger!
Today, Katy Perry and Alesso released their brand new collaboration “When I’m Gone.” It’s the first time the two team up for a song, and the futuristic dance track is the perfect companion for your New Year’s Eve celebration.
But if you’re Katy, you’re kicking off the festivities today in Las Vegas! Tonight marks the official start of Katy’s long-awaited Las Vegas residency, KATY PERRY: PLAY. The singer will be taking over the Resorts World Theater through March, tapping into everyone’s playful side as she performs her greatest hits.
“I’m so proud to bring this larger-than-life show to Vegas,” Katy said in a statement. “This residency has been years in the making – I remember being in a hard hat and steel-toed boots to walk among the steel beams that make up this gorgeous new theater! I had such a wild time dreaming up all six acts of this show, and it really made me listen to my catalog in a whole new way to come up with a set list that included 20 of my most-streamed songs as well as my new Alesso collaboration to keep things fresh.”
Katy will perform a special medley of “When I’m Gone”/”Walking On Air” at her PLAY residency, as well as CNN’s “New Year’s Eve” with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen! Be sure to also keep your eyes peeled for the official music video on January 10, which will be premiered during the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship on ESPN.
In “When I’m Gone,” Katy promises that it’ll be hard to get her out of your mind, even when she’s gone. Basically, she knows she’ll be living in your mind rent-free… and this song will be too! Check out “When I’m Gone” below.
