If you’ve seen Katy Perry’s name on a lot of news stories lately, get ready for even more soon! The pop princess has announced the name of her new album along with dates for a full-on tour that will visit top U.S. cities and Canada. The “Witness” tour will kick-off on September 7 in Columbus, Ohio and will wrap-up on February 5 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Dates could be affected however if rumors of Katy joining the “American Idol” reboot on ABC are true. No names have been attached to that show as of yet, but there is mounting pressure as NBC’s “The Voice” confirm former “Idol” winners Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson will appear. This would be a first for Katy who until now has only served as a guest judge on “The X-Factor” in the U.K.
