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.

She also casually laughed off the recent wave of viral vitriol ex-hubby Nick Lachey, 49, has amassed on TikTok for criticizing her in resurfaced clips from MTV reality series “Newlyweds,” which chronicled their brief marriage in the early 2000s.But for Simpson, her daughter Maxwell’s enchantment with “Fireworks”-singing Perry is no laughing matter. “I have my daughter taking a private plane with North West to go see Katy Perry in Vegas,” she said. “And inside I’m like, ‘She was supposed to see me first,” added the ‘90s pop diva-turned-fashion mogul.
The surges of fleeting jealousy have made the “These Boots are Made for Walkin’” luminary consider uprooting her family from their Hidden Hills, Calif., abode to reboot her vocal career in Nashville, Tenn., endearingly nicknamed “music city.” It’s where she frequently traveled to for work a month prior to being rushed to the Emergency Room with a twisted colon in June.
