Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager.
Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.
After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Celine Dion helped Katy Perry kiss her Las Vegas residency goodbye in a rare public appearance Saturday at Resorts World. Dion has remained out of the spotlight and focused on her health since revealing a stiff-person syndrome diagnosis in December, a rare neurological disorder that can cause muscle spasms and mobility issues.
The 55-year-old powerhouse was joined by her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, at Perry's "Play" finale in Sin City. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also seated nearby in addition to Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden.
Dion was reportedly seen "dancing throughout the show, giving fans and officials more confidence she can return to the stage in 2024," according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "AEG reps have remained optimistic she will eventually be healthy enough to perform a residency production at the theater," the outlet said.
Dion's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. It wasn't the only night out for the queen of power ballads.
