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's MTV VMAs look is a bit different this year. The 35-year-old pop star welcomed her baby girl, Daisy, with her fiance, Orlando Bloom, last week, and during Sunday's virtual awards show, Perry jokingly posted a mirror selfie of her mock VMAs look.
In the shot, the «Smile» singer is rocking a Medela breast pump bra and Frida Mom postpartum underwear. «Hair n makeup by: @exhaustion,» she quipped on the post.
She set the photo to her song, «Not the End of the World,» which featured the lyrics, «It's not the end of the world, throw on your fancy attire, fears to the fire, don't lose hope.» Perry did not attend this year's VMAs as she is recovering from giving birth.
