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 was seen looking bloomin’ lovely as she stepped out in Melbourne following her pregnancy announcement. The singer, 35, confirmed she is expecting a baby with fiancé Orlando Bloom during an Instagram live last week, where she said hiding her pregnancy has been the ‘longest secret’ she’s ever had to keep.
Katy, who is six months gone, gushed that she and Orlando are both ‘excited and happy’ over the news and there’s no doubt that the Roar hit-maker was glowing, as she headed out down under.
She headed to Australia for her performance at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup final and was seen indulging in a bit of retail therapy in Melbourne for her little one.
