For ESPN The Magazine's Feb. 18 Music Issue, we persuaded 14 athletes to recreate some of the most memorable album covers ever.
Why did you select Katy Perry?
There were quite a few album covers but not too many female iconic covers -- but I love Katy Perry. There were a couple of other choices but I just gravitated toward this one. The cover is cute and fun. It's a great shoot -- such a fun background and I never get to wear an outfit like this.
I wasn't really a fan of Katy during the One of the Boys era. I only liked I Kissed a Girl & Waking Up In Vegas. I didn't like the album cover at all, it's so cheesy.
Yeah, the original is way better... but still.

Don't see why annoying ex-stans like zach have to psychotically whine when it was obviously tongue in cheek.
Ooh sis. I did stan SO HARD for this era when it happened. It's far from an iconic cover. Simple as that.
I still like Katy. If you take away The Complete Confection era.
Biatch please
This is even worse...
It is an iconic cover and people will deal, though the Teenage Dream cover is more iconic now.
If you take away The Complete Confection era.
