"With Witness, Katy reflects on the changes in her own life and in the world around her, delivering songs that both challenge and inspire," her website states. "The singles released thus far – the Platinum-certified 'Chained to the Rhythm' featuring Skip Marley and the follow-up single, 'Bon Appétit' featuring Migos – hint at the breadth of the musical and thematic elements found on Witness. Each ticket purchase for WITNESS: The Tour also includes a copy of her album, Witness."
