Katy Perry Heats Up Hotel Balcony In Her Tiny Bikini While In Brazil

Katy Perry turned heads over the weekend as she bared her toned figure in a tiny bikini while standing on a hotel balcony in Brazil!

The 39-year-old pop star took a moment to express her gratitude to fans after an electrifying performance at Rock in Rio, where she debuted her new album 143. Perry's post-performance celebration wasn't just about the music -- her bikini-clad appearance and joyful spirit left fans buzzing.

On Saturday, Perry shared a heartfelt message with her fans via Instagram, celebrating the success of her recent performance. Standing on her hotel balcony in Brazil's capital, the singer tossed pink roses into the night, symbolizing her love for the crowd that had shown her overwhelming support.

"And that, my friends, is a wrap on Brazil," Perry said, joyfully addressing her fans.

She added, "We love you so much, we will always be there for you time after time, just like you have been there for me time after time."

The crowd's enthusiasm left a lasting impression on Perry, who gushed, "They sang so loud at the show yesterday, it was the loudest I've ever heard anyone sing my songs. I love you so much, for everything."

Perry's performance at Rock in Rio was nothing short of spectacular. The former "American Idol" judge wowed the audience with a mix of classic hits and fresh tracks from her new album. The pop superstar kicked off the night with "Woman's World," the lead single from 143, and followed it up with fan favorites like "California Gurls" and the iconic "Teenage Dream."

Known for her show-stopping performances, Perry included breathtaking aerial stunts and energetic dance numbers that left the audience on their feet. Clad in a vibrant green bikini with yellow accents, the singer beamed with pride as she connected with the crowd, delivering a memorable experience.

Despite the electrifying concert, Perry's seventh studio album, 143, faced a rocky start. The album, which takes its name from the numerical expression "I love you" and is a nod to Perry's "angel number," was met with lukewarm reviews from critics. Some critics described it as an uninspired attempt to recapture past success.

Variety's Steven J. Horowitz wrote, "The album is flat, coasting on cascades of lyrical clichés and musical ideas that rarely crest." The review pointed out that many of the songs felt "mechanical" and lacked the cleverness that had previously defined Perry's hits. The Guardian echoed similar sentiments, giving the album a two-star rating and stating that while it wasn't a complete disaster, it failed to reach the heights expected of the pop star.

Much of the criticism surrounding 143 also stems from Perry's decision to work with her longtime producer, Dr. Luke, who produced 10 of the 11 songs on the album. Dr. Luke's involvement reignited controversy due to his past legal battles with singer Kesha over allegations of sexual harassment, which he has denied.

In a recent interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Perry defended her choice to collaborate with Dr. Luke, saying, "I understand that it started a lot of conversations... But the reality is it comes from me. The truth is I wrote these songs from my experience."

She emphasized that Dr. Luke was just one of many collaborators who helped bring her vision to life.

While critics haven't been kind to 143, Perry has received an outpouring of love from her fans. Many took to social media, praising the singer for her continued creativity and unapologetic approach to her music.

Perry has also found unwavering support from her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. The actor was seen cheering her on at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where the singer received the prestigious Video Vanguard Award.
