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.
Even in the Earth’s final moments, people will still be mixing up Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel! In the music video for Perry’s “Not the End of the World,” which the pop singer dropped Monday morning, a spaceship full of benevolent blue-skinned aliens abducts Deschanel thinking she’s Perry, whom they revere and wish to rescue before our exhausted planet comes to its untimely demise.
Ever the quick thinker, the New Girl star plays along, trying on Teenage Dream-era costumes and props in hopes that she and her fellow space travellers can save Earth.
Perry teased the video on her social media channels on Sunday and will host an Instagram Live along with Deschanel to discuss the clip, followed by a group meditation.
