Some fans are claiming the star is here to “save pop music”; Others feel the song is reminiscent of one that you’d hear in a Target commercial. (Everyone’s a critic!) In the hype leading up to the release Perry has been hitting the town in Paris – including appearances at Vogue World and the couture shows. Today, the singer emerged wearing her boldest look yet: a red dress complete with a never-ending train emblazoned with her own lyrics.

Katy Perry stop releasing target commercial songs

Call it fashion-forward promo. Perry donned a one-shouldered Balenciaga mini dress printed with the lyrics to “Woman’s World.” A custom version of a dress from the label’s pre-Fall 2024 collection, the look came complete with a long train – over 100 yards! – that just kept going (and going and going). Though it’s hard to read what exactly the lyrics are, we were able to make out some key words, including “celebrate,” “lucky,” and “uh huh.” As Perry ascended the steps to her hotel, the the fabric trailing behind her encouraged fans to take in the lyrical sneak peek.
This unexpected fashion moment is yet another example of Perry doing her own thing. Some pop stars go on talk shows or release TikToks to build buzz around a new song, but Perry prefers to do so on her sleeve. Or, rather, her miles-long train.
