Katy Perry dropped the lead single Daisies for her highly anticipated fifth studio album on Thursday evening.
In the nearly three-minute video, Katy donned a romantic linen dress before artistically stripping down completely giving her audience a clear view of her bare, burgeoning baby bump.
Promoting body confidence and celebrating the changes to her shape, Katy covered her modesty with her hands as she appeared at one with nature.

She rose to her feet, which allowed her to tower over the plethora of flowers surrounding her before jumping into the song’s powerful chorus.
‘They said I’m going nowhere, tried to count me out. Took those sticks and stones, showed ’em I can build a house. They tell me that I’m crazy, but never let ’em change me til they cover me in daisies,’ sang Katy, while running her fingers through her bleach blonde hair.
Perry sported a minimalist makeup look complete with a mauve stained lip, an enviably dewy complexion, and a few light layers of mascara.
