Katy Perry flaunts washboard abs and QR code back tattoo at MTV VMAs, fans say singer 'aging backwards'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Singer Katy Perry flaunted her extremely toned physique as the 'Dark Horse' singer walked the 2024 MTV VMAs black carpet alongside her fiance Orlando Bloom.

Perry wore a white two-piece Who Decides War outfit at UBS Arena in New York City on Wednesday, September 11.

The 'Fireworks' hitmaker completed the ensemble with a QR code tattoo on her lower back, which is probably a link to her most recent album, '143'.

Katy Perry flashes glossy abs and debuts her QR code back tattoo at 2024 MTV VMAs

The 'Woman’s World' singer, 39, who attended the event with Orlando Bloom, performed a combination of her greatest hits alongside accepting the Video Vanguard Award at the event.

Perry dazzled the crowd with her stunning all-white suit as she displayed her outstanding expertise on the red carpet. The former 'American Idol' judge looked oily and wet as she dazzled in a tattered two-piece gown.

She wore a floor-length skirt that seemed like it was draped in wet paper yarn-mache for a deconstructed outlook, and she exposed her abs - which were literally shining in the lights.

The skirt is also worthy of attention because it was unpinned at the back to reveal Perry's temporary tattoo of a QR code on her back.

Fans who scanned it were directed to a link where they could pre-save or pre-order Perry's upcoming album, '143', which is due out on September 20, per The US Sun.

Perry's black hair, fashioned in glossy gelled curls, added to the whole "wet" vibe, which is to say highly glossy and super elegant.

Meanwhile, a black metal arm cuff that she wore truly complemented the futuristic appearance. In other photos, Bloom, dressed all in black, was beamingly supporting his partner.

The five-time VMA winner has topped the charts numerous times throughout the years with hits including 'California Gurls,' 'Teenage Dream,' 'Firework,' 'Roar,' and 'I Kissed a Girl,' per E! News.

Perry made the VMAs appearance shortly before the release of 143 on September 20. She has recently released two singles from the album, 'Woman's World' and 'Lifelines.'

According to People, Perry won her first VMA in 2011, taking home two moon people for "E.T." with Kanye West (best visual effects and best collaboration) and the much-coveted video of the year for 'Firework.'

The pop sensation has returned to the VMA stage for indelible outfits, acceptance speeches, and performances since her initial appearance at the event.
