Katy Perry appeared topless in a new photo shared to social media on Wednesday morning.
The Santa Barbara singer had big news: She showed off her album cover, announced that the song would be called 143, and announced a September 20 release date. 143 is a code for “I love you,” which was commonly used in messages sent via pagers in the early 1990s.
This new collection of songs comes just before she turns 40 on October 25.
The pop siren wore a shiny, sheer acrylic tank top over her breasts, making her appear naked, paired with a sheer, iridescent skirt.
Her long black hair was loose and she was beautifully made up with long eyelashes and a mauve lip. Behind her was a red and white celestial storm that made her look lost in the cosmos.
With her new album, Perry presents herself with a sexier image and a slimmer figure.

The Santa Barbara shared some big news: she showed off her album cover, announced it would be called 143, and revealed the release date is September 20.
On Tuesday, the Hot N Cold hitmaker gave her fans a sneak peek at her upcoming single Woman’s World and accompanying music video.
She was dressed as Rosie the Riveter in the 14-second clip for the single, which is apparently intended as an empowerment anthem.
She showed off a fuller bust in a star-shaped string bikini top, covered in a red, white and blue design inspired by the American flag.
The singer also wore denim shorts with a rhinestone-embellished tool belt that hung low on her hips.
She showed off her dance moves alongside a group of backing dancers as she stomped around in over-the-knee lace-up boots.
The 13-time Grammy nominee looked like a true pin-up doll with dark hair in a retro updo and ’40s victory roll-style bangs.

She tied a red bandana with white polka dots around her chic bun.
In the same clip, she also shines in a double denim look, wearing a short-sleeved top with a zipper.
“Celebrate,” she sang in the teaser. “We’re not leaving.”
The clip featured images of the scantily clad men dancing provocatively and operating decorated power tools.
She was also seen pouring a bottle of ‘Whiskey for Women’ into her mouth, but disappeared without a trace as the liquid flowed over her body.
The brunette has been promoting her upcoming release since late last month.
Her upcoming music has been the subject of controversy, as it was previously revealed that Woman’s World was produced by Dr. Luke, who was accused of sexual assault by Kesha, 37, a decade ago.
Perry previously worked with the 50-year-old Kemosabe Records founder on many of her earlier hits, including I Kissed A Girl and Teenage Dream.

The music producer was embroiled in a high-profile legal battle against the TiK ToK singer, in which he was accused of sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
Kesha also claimed that Perry was also a victim, a claim she denied and said was untrue.
A year into the relationship, Dr. Luke, whose real name is Łukasz Gottwald, was listed as a co-producer on Perry’s upcoming single, sparking outrage from fans who questioned how Perry could reconnect with the songwriter to promote female empowerment.
A source told DailyMail.com that Perry has ‘nothing to fear’ despite her fans’ concerns.
“She understands that it’s controversial to work with Dr. Luke again, but they work so well together and have such a great bond that she knows him in a different way than anyone else,” the insider said.
“Her relationship with Dr. Luke is important,” the source continued. “So the fact that she worked with him again is not something she’s worried about, even though there are plenty of fans who are.”
It added: ‘She’s scared because today’s music business can be fickle, with artists coming in one minute and disappearing the next. But she’s done well before.’
