Katy Perry talks cats and wigs in her new Popchips commercial

Katy Perry fights crime with wig-wearing cats in her new Popchips commercial! NO BIGGIE. 

Lately whenever we see Katy Perry, it's usually her looking the very picture of radiant and composed. Now, in her new Popchips ad, she's definitely still "radiant," but Katy's rocking QUITE another look -- one that is, how shall we say, head-to-toe PURPLE SPANDEX. ENOUGH SAID. But actually, not really, because did we mention that Katy's also chilling with a team of adorable talking cats? Who are wearing wigs??? Clearly someone is looking down on us today and saying, "LET'S MAKE YOUR DAY A LITTLE EXTRA SPECIAL."

Watch Katy Perry's AMAZING Popchips commercial after the jump.

Katy Perry is photographed looking flawless while on the set of "Kroll Show".

Please note that Katy Perry is STILL a perfect human being.

There are two things you should probably add to your daily beauty routine: a multivitamin and a picture of Katy Perry looking effortlessly lovely. You could also use the above photo as inspiration to research whatever hair conditioner and facial product Katy's using to get that shimmery natural glow. Lastly, one could also use this image as a reminder to hit up the gym, because Katy is looking BEYOND FIT. Basically, this photo is a reminder that WE WANT TO BE KATY PERRY WHEN WE GROW UP.

The "Teenage Dream" singer was snapped leaving a trailer in Los Angeles while getting ready to guest on the comedy skit series "Kroll Show." We know what you're thinking: "Wait, there's NOTHING funny about how stunning Katy looks right now (unlike her appearances on "Raising Hope" or "The Ellen DeGeneres Show")." And you'd be 100 percent right! But the joke really is on us, because while Katy Perry is having fun and looking GORG with comedians like Amy Poehler and Laura Dern, we're over here all sad and ugly-crying because this means we'll have to wait even longer for some new Katy music. Seriously, we can't decide whether we should get on our knees and BEG Katy to get back in the studio, or just bow down to her for being our always-beautiful queen. Either way, we're probably going to end up on the floor.

Katy Perry launches her new fragrance, Killer Queen, in a throne!

All hail Katy Perry, the Queen of everything!

We've been calling Katy Perry royalty for, like, EVER (#trendsetters), but it's looking pretty official now that she's sitting on HER OWN THRONE. OK, so technically Katy's just pretending to be royalty for the unveiling of her brand-new fragrance, Killer Queen, but don't act like pretending that beautiful pop stars rule our world isn't SUPER fun and wouldn't be a dream come true! (We already think she'd make a stellar president.) So, from now on, please call Katy "your highness" and KNEEL BEFORE HER.

The "Teenage Dream" singer was snapped sitting pretty at her fragrance launch event in New York City. WAIT! Here's an idea: What if we just created a real-life royal pop star court? Katy and Beyoncé could be queens together (obvs), Adam Lambert could be king (no contest), One Direction could be the princes (the more the marry-able), and Ke$ha could be the royal jester! (We mean that in a nice way, like how it's funny/weird that Ke$ha puts beards in her mouth.) We'd have NO problem being loyal subjects to that royal family.

Katy Perry, Florence Welch, and Jessie Ware met at the "Great Gatsby" Prada party in New York City.

Please take the appropriate amount of time to "OMG" over the fact that these three incredibly talented women -- Katy Perry, Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, and Jessie Ware -- were IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME! Thankfully we haven't died yet (except how we almost figuratively died over this photo), but we imagine this is the first thing you see when you get to heaven. We also imagine that after this photo was taken, the ladies exchanged phone numbers and email addresses, added each other on Facebook, and became instant BFFs and vintage shopping buddies. Then, they realized that three is an odd number and said something like, "We should get a fourth," thus inviting us into the fold BECAUSE THIS IS OUR IMAGINATION AND THIS IS HOW WE CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IT.

The three powerhouse singers were snapped attending Prada's "The Great Gatsby" party in New York City. We can't say for sure what happened after Jessie, Florence, and Katy met, but wouldn't it have been AMAZING if the girls busted out an a cappella version of one of the songs from "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack? Maybe Emeli Sandé's "Crazy In Love" cover or Beyoncé and Andre 3000's "Back To Black"? OK, clearly we're overwhelmed right now and the best way to calm us is to actually invite us to these types of parties so we don't lose our minds over thinking about what could have been. Can someone get us on the guest lists? Our sanity depends on it.

Katy Perry poses next to Abraham Lincoln's famous statue while in Washington, D.C.

Katy Perry pulls a tough-gal pose at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

Katy Perry has been SO busy living her #bestlife this year! She's changed lives in Madagascar, hung out with some Smurfs, and now she's honoring an American hero by posing like a SERIOUS-FACE BAWSE at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Seriously, don't mess with her! Plus, we gotta say it: Based on Katy's consistent awesomeness, she'd make a pretty badass leader, no? (Hey, she already knows the politician-posing-with-babies trick.) Katy Perry for president, 2020!

The "Part Of Me" singer shared the photo of her and Honest Abe on Twitter along with the caption "Sup?" while in town to attend the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner. Um, what's "Sup" is that while we are incredibly excited to hear Katy's upcoming third record, we reeeally can't stop thinking about how fun President Perry would be! Not only is she obvs the whole package of brains and leadership, just imagine how stunning our country's currency would be if her GORG face was printed on it! (Yes, we know that there's A LOT more to being president than being really pretty, talented, super nice, and a secret badass, BUT PLEASE JUST LET US DREAM.)

Katy Perry and Smurfette share a hug in Cancun, Mexico for the "Smurfs 2" photo call.

Katy Perry hugged a Smurf(ette)!

Looking at this photo of Katy Perry hugging a Smurf (ummmm, that's Smurfette for any "I'm more of a 'Pokémon' person" nerds out there) reallly makes us want to be 8 years old again so we can wake up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons and scarf down Pop-Tarts. And sure, Katy's Smurf-themed photo might be a few days old (taken on April 22, to be exact), but who cares!? It's our happy place this week! Because sometimes being an adult is sooo exhausting, and all you want do is look at pretty pop stars hugging Smurfs to know that all is right with the world.

The "Part Of Me" singer was snapped hugging Smurfette, whom she voices in the upcoming "The Smurfs 2" (coming to theaters in July), during a movie photo call at the fifth-annual Summer of Sony event in Cancun, Mexico. You really gotta love how Katy honored her role in "The Smurfs 2" by wearing a matching chic blue outfit (girl can rock blue anything -- even hair), but to be honest we're getting kinda worried about that poor person who had to spend the day inside of that (what we imagine is not-so-ventilated) Smurf costume. Maybe they're introducing a new character: "Sweaty Smurf"? Ew.
