With “Witness”, Perry finds liberation in the changes in her own life and in the world around her, delivering songs that inspire both thought and movement. The singles released thus far – the Platinum-certified “Chained to the Rhythm” featuring Skip Marley, and the singles, “Bon Appetit” featuring Migos and “Swish” featuring Nicki Minaj – hint at the breadth of the musical and thematic elements found on Witness.

“Witness: the Tour” is an imaginative trip from outer-space to inner-space, from the planets to the bottom of oceans, and a musical journey through Perry’s biggest milestones and mega-hits right up to her latest album.

Perry made her Capitol Records debut with 2008’s “One of the Boys” after signing to the label in 2007. She cemented her status as a global superstar with the follow-up album, “Teenage Dream” (2010). “PRISM”, her 2013 album, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in 100 countries and has sold more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide.

With the singles “Roar,” “Firework” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold including song sales and streams, she is the first female artist to earn three RIAA Digital Single Diamond Awards. In her 10 years with Capitol, she has racked up a cumulative 18+ billion streams alongside worldwide sales of more than 40+ million adjusted albums and 125+ million tracks. She is the most-followed person globally on Twitter, and the first to surpass 100 million followers.
