Calling all champion Easter egg hunters and pop music enthusiasts — Katy Perry has launched a worldwide hunt for disco balls teasing her new single “Chained to the Rhythm.”
CHS decided to play along and found a disco ball in Cal Anderson Park chained to a bench by the reflecting pool Wednesday morning.
People walked by the disco ball looking at it, and a few stopped to plug in their headphones and listen to the snippet of the single scheduled to be released in full on Friday.

A clear and purple umbrella protected the dazzling ball of musical wonder from the rain, and employees with Perry’s record label, Capitol Records, guarded it. They told CHS the disco ball would be there for a while and there are no plans to move it elsewhere in Seattle.
Perry has been retweeting fan’s photos with the disco balls as well as photos from her more creative listeners.
No, I found you. I was just waiting for you to get to me… https://t.co/lL6J5RTxHt

Perry is also performing at the 2017 Grammys Awards on Sunday along with The Weekend, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, and Bruno Mars, among others. According to Billboard, “it remains to be seen” whether Perry will debut the song at the awards event. Most of the locations for the disco balls are in America and Europe. Perry has also released a map of the locations on her Twitter.
“Chained to the Rhythm” is the first single from her fifth studio album. Her last album, Prism, featured the songs “Roar” and “Dark Horse” and was released in 2013.
According to BBC Newsbeat, she promoted Prism by driving a giant golden truck around Los Angeles.
