Sharing some funny photos of her getting hit with pie on the face, Perry, 35, revealed that the release of her album was delayed. In four frames, the musician was seen standing still wearing a colorful clown suit with a big red tie.

She had her hands on her hips as the pie struck her face. The star appeared licking the pie in the last frame of her Instagram post.

In the caption, she explained that she was throwing “bad news” at her fans like “pie in the face.” She continued revealing that she’d suffered some “unavoidable production delays” in releasing her new album, Smile.

The new release date was set for August 28, 2020. In the meantime, Perry had every intention of making it up to her fans for the delay.

HOSTING SMILE SUNDAYS

She shared how she would be hosting “#SmileSundays!” from August 2, 2020, and every Sunday after until either the album got released or until “#Babycat” comes. As you know, the star is expecting her first child with actor Orlando Bloom.
