In April 2024, Katy Perry told fans on Instagram that she’d “been to Coachella longer than you’ve been alive.” It prompted a few fans to speculate why “she doesn’t age,” but others were more forthcoming about whether she’s had plastic surgery.

She has “good doctors,” one commented. “Plastic surgery, she’s rich and can afford procedures lol,” speculated a third. “She definitely is so beautiful but I 100 percent think she has had some work done recently,” guessed a fourth. But is there any truth to the speculation?
Has Katy Perry had plastic surgery?
In a 2018 interview with Refinery29, Perry addressed speculation that she’s had work done. “I haven’t had any,” she said. “I’ve done lasers and got [filler] injections under my eyes for the hollowing—which I’d recommend for everyone who wants a solution for their dark circles—but all of my assets are real. People tend to think they are fake, but it doesn’t really matter.”
She added: “We’re getting away from that negative stigma about physical alterations. Of course, always be your authentic self—but if someone wants a nose job that makes them feel better, and they love their profile more because of it, it’s like ‘Go ahead!’ Do whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Stay in therapy, but get it, girl.”
The renewed speculation about whether Katy has had work done is off the back of her new single, “Woman’s World,” which comes ahead of her album, 143, due in September. The response to “Woman’s World” has not been particularly kind, however, with some even claiming her “feminist anthem” is dated.
“Today we have ‘Woman’s World,’ a paint-by-numbers pump-up anthem about how girls are geniuses, saints, blessings sent from heaven. ‘She’s a sister/She’s a mother,’ Perry sings, as if those are the only two identities she can think of,” a review in The Cut said scathingly.
“Perry’s solo return is a dated attempt at writing a feminist anthem about how women really can have it all! It’s a song that made me feel stupider every sorry time I listened to it,” The Guardian observed, giving it 1 star.
