Katy Perry turned heads in a skimpy ensemble as she arrived at the BBC studios in London for an appearance on the One Show on Thursday.
The 39-year-old singer, who is said to be deep in “crisis talk” following the failure of her comeback single Woman’s World, put on a leggy display in a sheer lace skirt.
Katy paired the long black skirt with a tight silver bodysuit that hugged every inch of her stunning figure.
She put on some chunky black boots and shielded her eyes with a pair of stylish retro sunglasses.
During her appearance on The One Show, Katy revealed the sweetness that inspired her daughter Daisy Dove to create her new single Lifetimes, as she moves on after her first release was heavily panned by critics.
Katy Perry, 39, turned heads in a skimpy ensemble as she arrived at the BBC studios in London for an appearance on the One Show on Thursday.
The singer, who is said to be deep in “crisis talk” following the failure of her comeback single Woman’s World, put on a leggy display in a sheer lace skirt.
Katy showed off her impressive physique in the eye-catching outfit.
The singer, who shares her daughter with fiancé Orlando Bloom, revealed that her new song came about from a sweet exchange she has with Daisy every night.
Saying: ‘Lifetimes is a song I wrote inspired by my daughter, obviously I tell her ‘I love you’ before she goes to sleep every night, but I started saying to her ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ and she says ‘yes’.
‘The sweetest thing is that we’ve been all over Europe this summer and we’ve been to lots of beaches and I bought a big pile of chocolate gold coins, and when we’re building sand castles I hide them while she digs and finds them, so she loves finding chocolate coins.
‘The other day I said to her, ‘Will you find me in every life?’ and she said, ‘Yes, and we’ll find chocolate coins together!’
‘So I think you can find your soulmate, it can be your best friend, your pet, your daughter, it can be your son, your aunt, your partner. They come in many shapes and sizes and they surprise you.’
The song is the latest single from Katy’s upcoming album, 143, which is set to drop on September 20.
Katy’s TV appearance comes after DailyMail.com revealed she is “pointing the finger at everyone but herself” after her comeback single Woman’s World failed to set the charts alight.
Sources close to the singer claim that she is desperate to come up with a new plan to save her musical comeback.

Katy seemed in high spirits as she met fans waiting for her outside the studio.
She took off her sunglasses and revealed a face full of glamorous makeup.

Katy also hugged several of her fans.
The singer released the lead single from her upcoming seventh studio album 143 last Thursday, but the song, billed as an empowering feminist anthem, was quickly dismissed as unoriginal, hypocritical and formulaic.
The Teenage Dream singer also faced criticism for the sexualized nature of the track’s accompanying video, as well as her decision to work with music producer Dr. Luke, 50, following her highly publicized legal battle with Tick Tock singer Kesha, 37.
With the single plummeting down the US iTunes chart less than a week since its release on July 11, Katy is said to be “freaking out” and demanding her team “go back to the drawing board” to prevent her album suffering the same fate.
“Katy is very nervous at the moment because she is very aware of the reactions Woman’s World is receiving,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. “She is pointing the finger at everyone but herself, but it is her own fault.”
The source claimed the biggest risk Katy had taken was reconnecting with Dr. Luke, the music producer who worked on her hit singles including 2008’s I Kissed a Girl and 2010’s California Gurls before she was later accused of sexual, physical and emotional abuse by Kesha.
The super-producer, whose real name is Łukasz Gottwald, denied all the allegations, including Kesha’s claim that he raped Katy, something she denied.
A New York state judge ruled against Kesha in 2020, saying she had defamed her former producer with the lawsuit, and an appeals court upheld that decision in 2021.
Music fans have expressed their disdain for any artist choosing to work with the hitmaker following Kesha’s allegations, despite the pair reaching an agreement in 2023.

Some Katy fans have defended the star, claiming she was forced to work with Dr. Luke due to contractual obligations. But Katy previously confirmed she has no ties to the producer.
During her 2018 deposition for Kesha’s lawsuit against Dr. Luke, Katy confirmed that she had only signed a three-album publishing deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records and that the pair no longer had a contractual relationship.
She also acknowledged what the public response would be if she decided to collaborate with Dr. Luke in the midst of her battle with Kesha.
“Working with him right now would mean… I wouldn’t be… I wouldn’t be welcome because of this lawsuit,” she said.
Asked if she thought working with Dr. Luke would potentially impact the success of a future release, the Dark Horse singer responded: “[People]would protest that, a smear campaign, just 20 different narratives than the one I represent.”
After DailyMail.com previously revealed that Katy had been warned not to collaborate with Dr. Luke for the new album, the source confirmed that the Roar singer had ignored the pleas.
“She was crazy to think Dr. Luke was a good idea. She didn’t listen to anyone,” the source claimed. “Instead of diving into the topic and creating art, she posted something that sounded like it could have been on one of her albums from 2010.”
The first single from her upcoming album, billed as an empowering feminist anthem, was quickly dismissed as unoriginal, hypocritical and formulaic.
Katy faced criticism for the sexualized nature of the single’s music video, as well as her decision to work with producer Dr. Luke, 50, in the wake of her lawsuit with Kesha; they are seen in 2014.
Not only did the song see Katy team up with the producer, but it was also written predominantly alongside men.
Dr. Luke, Aaron Joseph, Vaughn Oliver and Rocco Did It Again! co-wrote and produced the song, while Katy and Chloe Angelides are the only women who helped write it.
No single woman produced the album.
“You can’t make a song about female empowerment with basically all men,” the source said.
‘Katy can’t relate to other women because she lives in her celebrity bubble. She doesn’t know anything about what it’s like to be a woman in the real world.
“She’s not using her star power to change the world; she’s using it to make money.”
