Katy Perry just dropped what looks to be the cover art for her new album, titled 143. And if that number leaves you in a state of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, apparently, it has a special and very specific meaning to the pop star.
During a convo with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Katy explained, "It's called 143. It's my angel number. It's my symbol. It's my sign. You know, couple years ago, we were going through a little bit of a hard time medically in our family, and it was a little bit scary. And I started seeing 143 in many different ways, not just, like, on the phone. It was just like trippy, almost. And I looked it up, and it's code for 'I love you.'"
"I really believe it was my angels, my guides, saying, 'I love you. We got you. We're going to protect you. You're exactly where you're meant to be. You're on the path,'" Katy added, saying she named her album 143 because she feels like she's "exactly where I'm meant to be at this moment."
And naturally, she wanted to include fans in the good vibes and gushed, "I love the listener, and I want to gift them the love that I've received as best as I possibly can and help invite them into this kind of love frequency. It is a love frequency."
FYI, Katy's album drops September 20 and is available for pre-order if that's your thing!
