Videos posted on X — formerly Twitter — show the singer entering the Ritz Paris as a crowd cheers and takes photos.
She wore a velvet one-shoulder dress, designed by Balenciaga, with a 200-yard train trailing behind her.
Katy, 39, wore her dark hair in loose curls and a full face of glam makeup.
She waved to onlookers as she strolled by.
As she walked, fans noticed words written on the train of her dress.
It has since been revealed that the words are the lyrics to her newest single, Woman’s World.
Katy was in Paris for her Vogue World: Paris debut, which took place on Sunday.
Fans on social media were split on the Teenage Dream singer’s promotion tactics.

KATY ON TOUR
The outing comes amid news that Katy will be heading out on tour.
After announcing her controversial new single, the American Idol judge announced that she will be “coming back on your.”
She shared the news while discussing her return to France during Paris Fashion Week.
The Firework singer walked the runway at Place Vendôme in an archival Noir Kei Ninomiya dress at Vogue World: Paris.
She was recorded meeting with fans after the show.
The announcement comes after fans slammed her song, Woman’s World, following a leak last week.
A portion of the song was posted on social media, and Katy posted a teaser on TikTok shortly after.
In the clip, she mouthed the lyrics, “Sexy, confident. So intelligent. She is heaven-sent. So soft, so strong,” as she danced in a white crochet bikini.
Katy announced that the full song would be released on July 11.
“GET READY TO POP OFF,” she wrote.
Critics in the comments were unimpressed, calling the song “terrible” and “cringy.”
“The new snippet of Katy Perry’s latest single sounds like an autotuned Real Housewife release so kinda terrible and kinda camp,” one hater wrote on X.
“I was rooting for Katy but these lyrics are so dated it’s giving 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign material. It’s over,” another person added.
“New Katy Perry snippet is the worst thing I’ve ever heard,” a third critical commenter posted.
“I cannot be the only one cringing at the title of the upcoming new Katy Perry song and then hearing the lyrics in the snippet and cringing even harder,” another critiqued in the comments.
“I wanted Katy Perry to bring back the fun of One of the Boys and Teenage Dream not the janky purposeful pop of Witness.”
“That Katy Perry song sounds like something they’d come up with for the Rupaul Finale song,” someone else jabbed.
ROARING BACK
On Friday, Katy hit back at Woman’s World critics by dancing to the new single on Instagram.
The singer shared a post of herself dancing to the song in what appeared to be a clothing store, or the dressing room shares with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, 47.
In the clip, the pop singer showed off her figure in a tight crop top, which had the words, “FEMININE DIVINE,” written on it.
She paired the tee with low-cut pants that revealed her toned abs and pink underwear sticking out of her bottoms.
Katy threw herself in front of the camera as the song started plating.
She moved her hips and played with her long black hair while mouthing the lyrics.
The song ended abruptly with Katy declaring, “That’s all you get.”
She shrugged and walked away.
Katy crept back in front of the lens, joking, “But then I’ve got to come back and pus ‘Stop,'” before the video ended.
“IT’S A WOMAN’S WORLD AND YOU’RE LUCKY TO BE LIVING IN IT,” Katy captioned the post.
