Katy Perry is planning on releasing an acoustic album in the future.

The US singer is well known for her extravagant arena pop shows, but it seems like the 'Dark Horse' icon is looking to strip things back in the future.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Perry said that she has been thinking for some time about doing an acoustic album and tour in order to reveal another side of her musical character.

She said: "I think I have a lot of different personalities inside of me concerning music, and I love a lot of different things, and I like to try things, and I'm inspired by a lot of different things, and I feel like I don't ever want to be just one genre, you know? I want to maybe break the ideas of what boundaries pop stars should be in, you know?

"I want to do an acoustic record and do a tour that's all theatres and just have my acoustic guitar and my Telecaster and people would be like, 'What the f*ck?' I'm waiting to play that ace in a couple of years and it will be so exciting. Because I know I've had that up my sleeve for so long. I don't have to prove anything to anyone because I know who I am."
