Going country: Katy Perry tied something new on Wednesday when she made her debut at the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards.

The dress included a high slit, which craftily arranged the shredded denim fibers into decorative fringe.Katy paired her dress with knee-high black boots and a black leather cowboy hat the complemented her straight raven tresses.
