Singer Katy Perry has pushed back the release of her new album 'Smile' has by two weeks.

She cited "unavoidable production delays" as the reason.

The album, which was set to drop on August 14, will now release on August 28.

Welp. I hate to throw this bad news at you like a pie in the face...but if there’s anything 2020 taught me, it’s to not get too attached to plans and be malleable.

Due to unavoidable production delays, my album #SMILE will now be released ✌🏻weeks later on August 28 ☹️ (1/3) pic.twitter.com/qe6zCSskHA
