Katy Perry hints at a Christmas album

Singer Katy Perry has hinted she is working on a holiday album in a video she shared on Instagram.

The 30-year-old "Roar' hitmaker's video showed four men in masks and bright-coloured sweaters sitting next to a decorated Christmas tree in a studio, reported Aceshowbiz.

"When your derp squad writes a Christmas song in August," read the caption.

Perry is no stranger to singing holiday-themed tunes. She previously wowed fans with a live rendition of "White Christmas" at the Hotel Cafe. She also once sang an acoustic version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

There's still no further word from Perry about whatever it is she's planning. If she does make a Christmas record, it will likely be her first album since 2013's "Prism" which peaked at Number 1 on Billboard 200 and spawned two Number 1 singles on Billboard Hot 100, "Roar" and "Dark Horse".
