Ready for a bit of disco magic?
Two days after releasing her brand new single, "Chained to the Rhythm," Katy Perry took to the stage at the 2017 Grammys and performed the song live for the first time.
She also made a rather clear and important political statement.
Wearing a white suit that one has to think was an homage to Hillary Clinton proud, Perry donned an armband that read “Persist," very likely a reference to Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was recently silenced in a speech criticizing Jeff Sessions.
Perry, of course, has long been an outspoken Democrat and supporter of Liberal politicians and policies.
The artist stood against a backdrop of clouds and flowers at first, with a white picket fence soon rising up around her, far too high to climb.
However, she eventually followed the advice of her armband and found a way to break through.
Toward the end of the performance, Perry took the hand of Bob Marley’s grandson Skip, and stood in front of a graphic of the Constitution, which was displayed on the wall behind her.
"No hate," yelled the superstar after finishing the single.
Perry was not nominated for any awards on the evening, as she basically took 2016 off to campaign for Clinton.
So the single is clearly trying to channel her disappointment at the election results into new music.
Check out the performance below:
