KATY Perry has fans believing she’s releasing a new album after she dropped a major hint on social media.
Devoted fans have wondered when Katy, 39, will reveal her next project, given her departure from Idol.
They might have gotten their answer as the singer seemingly teased on Instagram that she’s dropping new music.
Katy’s followers noticed that the performer subtly changed her profile picture to what appeared to be her new logo.
The snap showed the Fireworks singer’s initials in silver writing with a bright orange background.
While the entertainer didn’t acknowledge the switch-up, fans believe it could be teasing an upcoming album.
FANS’ HOPEFUL REACTIONS
“QUEEN OF POP IS COMING,” one person excitingly wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in reaction to Katy’s photo swap.
“Ahhh she is finally coming!!!” echoed another.
“OH WE ARE SO READY! KP6 IS FINALLY COMING!” a third agreed.
“Out of all the releases we had she’s about to have the best,” a fourth predicted.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from the Teenage Dream singer, especially since she decided to quit Idol.
Katy was a judge on the singing competition show alongside Luke Bryan, 47, and Lionel Richie, 74, for seven seasons.

Days before the finale, Katy admitted she’d most likely get emotional while saying goodbye to her Idol family.
“I think I will be crying at anything,” she said in an interview with KABC.
“It’s been a beautiful journey and I love watching these kids grow and becoming this big beautiful patchwork quilt.”
KATY’S FINAL SHOW
Katy went out with a bang as she rocked a massive dress featuring photos of the 168 finalists throughout her run on the show.
“I thought a good way to honor my time here would be to put the top 24 of each season on my skirt so they were all there,” she told Entertainment Tonight about her outfit choice.
It’s unknown who will replace Katy on the show, though her fellow judges and host Ryan Seacrest, 49, have suggested a few A-list stars they’d like to see take over.
Their picks included pop star Meghan Trainor, first-season Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, and superstar Taylor Swift.
