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 looked gorgeous when she and partner Orlando Bloom spent Memorial Day weekend out and about in Santa Barbara, California.
Though no one knows just how far along Katy Perry is with her pregnancy, she is believed to be in her last trimester. Orlando was seen shirtless and showing off his muscled physique, while Katy wore a gorgeous rose-print bathing suit that provided perfect coverage for her baby bump.
The bathing suit has a retro feel to it and features a pastel pink with forest green leaves and a plunging neckline. Katy was seen wearing the bathing suit while carrying her dog Nugget as she and Orlando made their way to the water.
