The Roar hitmaker also changed her banner on X (formerly Twitter) to a matching red background with water drops and updated her official website.

The social media switch-up has convinced fans the singer is finally set to release her highly anticipated sixth album, spurring many to tweet “KATY PERRY IS COMING”.

“Katy Perry is coming back and I hope she gets all the success again. Smile is an underrated album,” one fan wrote on X, referring to Perry’s last album in 2020.

The singer has also created a broadcast channel on Instagram called 143, which is linked in her bio.

“In case you didn’t know, today is the 143rd day of the year. I love you,” the singer said in a voice recorded message sent to the open channel.

Just a couple of days earlier the singer cryptically included the number 143 in an Instagram caption as she ended her seven seasons on American Idol.
