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.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is set to return with another solo release.
The 30 year old singer has confirmed that her digital solo EP, Fallen Angel, will arrive on August 28. The project will include three songs, FALLEN ANGEL, HEAVEN and Less Than a Lover.
The announcement was shared through the social media accounts of Odd Atelier, Jennie’s own company, where the new project was described as “A gift from JENNIE, with love”.
Jennie also confirmed that fans will be able to watch the music video for the EP’s title track on the same day the project comes out.
The upcoming release arrives only a few months after BLACKPINK dropped their highly awaited mini album Deadline in February.
The K pop group, made up of Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé, concluded their Deadline world tour on January 26, 2026, with their final show taking place at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.
The group first introduced the project with the lead single JUMP in July 2025. The five track release was later completed with GO, Me and my, Champion, and Fxxxboy.
YG Entertainment previously shared its thoughts on Deadline, saying: “Even amid the intense schedule of a large-scale world tour, the members devoted significant time and effort to perfecting this album. We are confident it is a body of work that encapsulates both the individual musical capabilities of the four members and their synergy as a team. We ask for your continued support as BLACKPINK once again leaves a meaningful mark on the global music industry.”
The four members continued developing their individual careers after BLACKPINK released their 2022 album Born Pink.
Lisa had earlier given fans a glimpse into the group’s plans, revealing that the members had recently returned to the studio to work on music for another album.
Speaking with Variety, she said: “Actually, we were in the studio a few days ago.
"We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the Blinks. We can’t wait to see them."
Each member has also built a strong presence through their solo work.
Rosé released her solo album Rosie, which included her Grammy nominated collaboration with Bruno Mars, APT..
Lisa later unveiled her first full length album, Alter Ego, while also stepping into acting with a role on HBO's The White Lotus, which was filmed in Thailand. Jennie launched her first solo album, Ruby, last year, while Jisoo released her EP Amortage, giving each member another opportunity to showcase her own musical style.
