Katy Perry Books Prismatic World Tour Dates

Before announcing where she was kicking off the tour, Perry gave her Twitter followers a hint, tweeting “Clue: I love these people and their accents.”

Her U.K. fans certainly love her back. When her fourth studio LP, Prism, was released in October it marked her second No. 1 album in the U.K.

And for the rest of the Katycats living around the world, Perry promises that more global dates will be announced soon. According to her website, the Prismatic Tour is expected to be a year-long trek.    

“I can’t wait to get closer to ALL of you than ever before!” Perry tweeted earlier today.
