Katy Perry Las Vegas residency poster
Courtesy PhotoKaty Perry is getting geeked for the kick-off of her first Las Vegas residency. The singer posted a preview video on Monday (Nov. 29) in which she slips into an Elvis-style glittery jumpsuit featuring an oversized “KP LV” belt buckle, with “Stay Fabulous” written in rhinestones on the back. Rocking a long brown wig and clutching an electric guitar, Perry does a spin for the camera in the 15-second clip teeing up her first Sin City stay-put, which is slated to kick off on Dec. 29.
“Only one month until we can officially #PLAY together at @ResortsWorldLV!,” she wrote in a message larded with mushroom and dice emoji. “Like if you’re coming to the show, comment if you’re coming to the show.” The American Idol judge will set up shop at The Theatre at Resorts World resort/casino for “Katy Perry: Play,” which is currently slated for 16 shows: Dec. 29 and 31, as well as January 1, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15 and March 2, 4, 11, 12, 16, 18 and 19.
Perry’s fans can throw down for some high roller packages for the show, including the “Witness VIP,” which includes a reserved seat in the orchestra section, a complimentary VIP beverage voucher, a souvenir red carpet step & repeat photo and limited-edition KP merch. The resort will also play host to shows by Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Celine Dion, Zedd and Tiësto.
It’ll be a busy early 2022 for Perry, who has signed on to be a judge on Idol for a fifth season alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan and host Ryan Seacrest. The upcoming 20th season of the beloved reality singing show — which aired on Fox for 15 years before moving to ABC — hosted virtual auditions across the country through Sept. 21 with a plan to return in early 2022.

Mustard has seemingly hit back at comments from Drake‘s producer Gordo, with a little help from JAY-Z.
Gordo, who worked on several Drizzy albums including $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, For All the Dogs and Honestly, Nevermind, called out the “Not Like Us” hitmaker this week after noticing that he was no longer following him on social media.
“omg just noticed mustard unfollowed me on ig…. Sad day,” he wrote sarcastically on X. “headlining chella must of got to his head.”
Despite unfollowing Gordo, Mustard appeared to catch wind of his post and issued a snarky yet subliminal response on Instagram.
Alongside a caption which read: “We not the same,” the producer posted a video of JAY-Z in an interview saying: “Are you kidding me? Who are you guys talking to? What have you done to even have an opinion on what I been doing? You done nothing to even have an opinion.”

Mustard hasn’t exactly been quiet about his disdain for Drake throughout the 6 God’s beef with Kendrick Lamar which erupted last year.
The multi-platinum producer and DJ graced the stage at Tyler, The Creator‘s Camp Flog Gnaw last November, where he surprised the crowd by appearing to cue up Drizzy’s Take Care hit “Crew Love” with The Weeknd.
Before the song could kick into gear, however, Mustard jumped on the mic and yelled, “Sike!” before quickly pivoting to Kendrick, Future and Metro Boomin‘s “Like That,” the blistering collaboration that ignited the heated feud between the Hip Hop titans.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times months earlier, the 10 Summers hitmaker took a shot at Drake’s character while ruling out a reunion with his “Who Do You Love?” collaborator.
“I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy,” he said matter-of-factly.
Mustard would also offer Drake some advice on how to bounce back from the beef, saying to Big Boy: “I’m not speaking at Drake or for him, but a lot of shit that’s going on — the tactics, the things that you do just to get attention. You don’t need to do that. Just make music, man. Make good music and you’ll be fine.”
Mustard also made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s historic Super Bowl halftime show performance, joining the Compton superstar for his climactic rendition of “TV Off” which he also produced.
