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 fell out of her chair on last night’s American Idol while dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid. The 37-year-old looked incredible in the tail but struggled to move in the costume for Disney night on the show.
And at one point Katy completely collapsed on the floor - leaving her co-hosts Lionel Richie, 72, and Luke Bryan, 45, gobsmacked.
Host Ryan Seacrest, 47, rushed off the stage to try and help her back up. As they managed to get her on the seat, Ryan asked: “Are you okay?
Are you alright?” She replied “yes” as they audience erupted into cheers. .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
