Katy Perry honors Fourth of July with ‘Firework’ tribute and previews new single ‘Woman's World’

Katy Perry is shining bright like the Fourth of July.

The "Teenage Dream" singer posted a patriotic photo on Instagram, celebrating her 2010 hit "Firework." In the image, Perry, 39, is seen wearing a star-shaped, bedazzled swimsuit adorned with stars and stripes.

Her silver straps matched her earrings, and she completed the look with red lipstick and a red polka-dot bandana.

Perry embodied Rosie the Riveter, striking a pose with one hand on her hip and flexing her muscles with the other.

"BB UR A FIREWORK 🎆," she began her caption, adding, "and speaking of work, WOMAN’S WORLD IS GOING TO WORK IN ONE WEEK HAPPY 4TH 🇺🇸"

Perry announced her new single "Woman's World" on Wednesday, June 19, marking her first release since 2020's "Smile." The song will be released on Thursday, July 11, with the music video debuting the next day.

The "California Gurls" singer gave fans a sneak peek of the new song on Instagram, lip-synching: “Sexy, confident / So intelligent / She is heaven sent / So soft, so strong."

Following the song's release in 2010, Perry shared to Billboard about the inspiration behind the lyrics. “It’s a song where I think my purpose to some people might change when they hear it," she said at the time.
