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.

justjared.comThe Balenciaga Haute Couture fashion show had a star-studded front row! Joey King, Kerry Washington, and Michelle Yeoh were among the stars who attended the event on Wednesday afternoon (June 26) in Paris, France. Michelle told WWD about her outfit, saying, “That amazing swing-back black leather coat is from Demna’s first couture collection.
We paired it with a pantalegging, one of Balenciaga’s classics. For the jewels, all shiny rhinestones. I love the casual aspect of the trench that makes it nonchalant, but the couture construction of the piece, with the integrated corset, gives an upscale feeling to it.” More stars in attendance included Katy Perry, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Charli XCX, Ashley Graham, Isabelle Huppert, Selma Blair, Camille Rowe, Lisa Rinna, and Maya Rudolph, who brought daughter 18-year-old daughter Pearl.
