Katy Perry Is Livestreaming Her Weekend Big Brother-Style
Katy Perry’s undyingly thirsty quest for relevance continues. Today, Perry releases her new album Witness. And as an entirely new kind of grand, overwhelming promotional stunt, she’ll be livestreaming everything she does this weekend. As in: Cameras will follow Perry, and you’ll be able to just check in and see what she’s doing right this moment. (I just checked the livestream, and she’s sleeping. Riveting!)
Last night, Perry played an intimate show for fans, and she livestreamed that. And then she went directly from the show into the weekend-long livestream. According to ET Online, she’ll spend her time on camera this weekend in a Big Brother-style house, where she’ll be “hanging with friends, talking meditation, and previewing her new music.” Here’s the livestream:
Witness is out now on Capitol. Does this make you want to hear it more? Katy Perry hopes so!
UPDATE: TMZ reports that this livestream is leading up to a free concert in LA on Monday. You can apply for tickets here.
