Katy Perry appeared to be feeling a little self-conscious as she walked around looking almost unrecognizable in an ’80s tracksuit and dark sunglasses in New York City on Monday.
Her coy appearance could be due to the fact that the 39-year-old singer has made a number of controversial comments lately, including her decision to work with Dr. Luke amid her complicated legal drama with Kesha.
Katy, 39, also made shocking comments about her sex life with husband Orlando Bloom, with whom she has a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
However, the singer, whose pop career has been struggling lately, is now turning her full attention to a big upcoming performance at the 2024 MTV VMAs on Wednesday night.
Perhaps sending a message that she is still a force to be reckoned with in the pop world, Katy sported a baseball cap with the words “music industry” written on it.
Katy Perry was spotted sporting a light blue Adidas tracksuit in New York City on Monday.
She paired her sporty look with Nike sneakers, delicate earrings and several gold bracelets.
The GRAMMY winner wore light makeup that highlighted her natural beauty and pink lips.
The jacket is listed on Adidas website like the ’80s Nylon Archive 3-Stripes’ sports shirt and sells for $85.
The sweatshirts are sold separately and are listed as ’80s Woven Trackpants’ for $80.
Katy’s trip to the Big Apple comes just days before her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and her recognition at the Video Vanguard.
It was announced in mid-August that the I Kissed a Girl singer would be taking the stage for the awards show on Wednesday, September 11.
“Katy is a musical powerhouse and a true pop culture icon,” said Bruce Gillmer, chief music content officer for Paramount+ and president of music, music talent, programming and events for Paramount in a statement. AP.
“With his revolutionary creative vision, he has become a global phenomenon and has taken over the world’s biggest stages,” he added.
And he’s just days away from releasing his highly anticipated seventh studio album, 143.
The album will include some of her previously released singles, Woman’s World and Lifetimes, and is scheduled for release on September 20.
Her black locks were hidden beneath a denim cap that read ‘Music Industry’ while she sported a pair of designer sunglasses.
She paired her sporty look with Nike sneakers, delicate earrings and several gold bracelets.

Katy’s outing in the Big Apple comes just days before her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and her Video Vanguard recognition.
Both songs performed poorly on the charts and the singer reportedly “pointed the finger at everyone but herself,” DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.
“Katy is freaking out at the moment because she is very aware of the comments Woman’s World is receiving,” a source told DailyMail.com.
He added: “She is pointing the finger at everyone but herself, but it is her own fault.”
Last month he spoke about the album during a interviewdescribing it as “a dance party and everyone is invited.” She also elaborated on the title saying, “It’s called 143. It’s my angel number. It’s my symbol, it’s my sign.”
Woman’s World was promoted as an empowering feminist song, but was dismissed as hypocritical and unoriginal.
“A couple of years ago we were going through a bit of a difficult time medically in our family and it was a little scary, and I started seeing 143 in a lot of different ways, not just over the phone,” she gushed.
She added: “I truly believe it was my angels, my guides, who told me: ‘I love you. We have you. We are going to protect you. You are exactly where you need to be. You are on the right path.'”
