Katy Perry Reveals Pregnancy In Video For New Song "Never Worn White": Watch

So Katy Perry is pregnant. She’s got a little baby Legolas in there. That’s the point Perry’s video for her new song “Never Worn White.” The song is a dramatic piano-ballad love song for the actor Orlando Bloom, Perry’s fiancé. (They got engaged on Valentine’s Day.) The clip ends with Perry, standing in what appears to be one the hallways in Cloud City from The Empire Strikes Back, caressing her belly. The song and the music video pretty much take a backseat to the dramatic reveal. So, uh, sorry for spoiling it.

Perry, an absolutely dominant hitmaker not that long ago, has been releasing a lot singles lately. None them have really caught on, despite some them (“Never Really Over,” “365“) being quite good. “Never Worn White” is a breathy and relatively stripped-down ballad all about being nervous to get engaged, and it fits the trend extremely famous people singing emotionally about the narratives that they’ve been living out in front everyone. Selena Gomez, for instance, got her first #1 with the similarly structured “Lose You To Love Me.” That one was about post-heartbreak triumph, not blissful romantic happiness, but maybe Perry can tap into that same kind thing here.

Perry co-wrote “Never Worn White” with a team veteran pop pressionals: Johan Carlsson, Jacob Kasher, John Ryan. Carlsson produced it. The video, directed by the duo J.A.C.K., is mostly Perry looking sincerely lovestruck, sometimes while sitting at the top a big ol’ mountain flowers. Last night, immediately after dropping the video, she tweeted, “omg so glad I don’t have to suck it in anymore.” Watch the clip below.

“Never Worn White” is out now on the streaming services. That kid is going to be a very pretty human being.
