Katy Perry's New Platinum-Blond Hair Is Brighter Than a Firework

Pop stars have a habit of changing their looks before releasing new music, and Katy Perry is no exception. The "Rise" queen has given us everything from ice cream chic ("California Gurls") to jungle goddess ("Roar") to even, uh, alien ("E.T.") And now Perry is serving us a brand-new look. She ditched her dark black hair for platinum blond, leaving us to wonder one thing: Does this mean her new music is coming soon?! (For the love of pop, please let this be true.)
Perry did go blond earlier this year—a more yellowish shade, so we're not exactly shook by this change. Still, fans will have to adjust to Perry being this bright, which shouldn't be an issue because she looks incredible.
So what does this hair change mean for the direction of Perry's highly anticipated fourth album, which is slated to drop sometime this year? Team Glamour has two theories: The super-blond hair could signal a return to Perry's bubblegum era, so we might be hearing bops akin to "California Gurls" and "Teenage Dream" in the near future. Orrrr she could be taking cues from the likes of Bebe Rexha and using her hyper-bright hair to introduce an edgier, EDM-influenced sound. Think Justin Bieber's Purpose meets Tove Lo meets The Chainsmokers. We're here for either option! Regardless, Perry's new album is going to be pure fire.
As is her new hair shade! This platinum-blond look proves Perry can rock every hair color in the rainbow, which she's actually done several times over. (Seriously, try to name a hair color she hasn't tried.) Take a look at it below.
Hopefully, she reveals the answers to our burning-hot questions when she performs at the 2017 Grammys this weekend.
