How does Christmas with Katy Perry sound to you?

The soon-to-be American Idol judge, known for big songs and big productions, announced this morning that her new album, Witness, will be released June 9 by Capitol Records. On September 7, she will begin a U.S. tour that's slated to arrive in Miami December 20.

Singles from the album have already gained impressive popularity. "Chained to the Rhythm," featuring Skip Marley, went platinum. The follow-up single, "Bon Appétit," featuring Migos, who were recently part of a ruckus at Rolling Loud in Bayfront Park, has also sold big.

The North American tour will include two New York City shows — at Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center — and one at the Staples Center in Los Angeles before coming to the Magic City in December. The Miami show will be the last of 2017. It will be held at the American Airlines Arena.

Perry will donate tickets to Boys & Girls Clubs of America and will give $1 for very ticket sold the organization.

Tickets for U.S. dates go on sale to the general public Monday, May 22, at 10 a.m. Presale runs from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, May 18, through registration using Ticketmaster Verified Fan. Registration is open and continues through May 16.

Citi credit-card holders will also have access to U.S. presale tickets from noon May 18 through May 20.

The tour is Perry's first since 2015. She will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live May 20.
