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.
Katy Perry is keeping up with her recent quarantine tradition of dressing in costume on Sunday nights. The pop star and American Idol judge posted a photo of herself in a full body Mrs.
Jumbo costume, Dumbo's mom in the classic Disney animated film. "I SEE NO DIFFERENCE! Have you HERD? It’s the best night of the year - Disney Night/Mother’s Day, and we’ve got a whole trunkful of [love] for you!" Perry captioned the snapshot, in which she's holding one adorable little "Dumbo." Dressing up as Dumbo's mom follows Perry outfitting herself in a mega roll of toilet paper last weekend, and dressing up as a giant bottle of hand sanitizer the weekend before.
