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 fiancé Orlando Bloom rushed up to the stage to undo the pop singer's corset after she had revealed that she could not breathe.
Katy, 36, had a wardrobe malfunction during Variety's Power of Women event. A video by an eyewitness caught the moment when the I Kissed a Girl hitmaker called out for Orlando, 44.
With her hair combed into a bow, the music star wore a stunning dress, which had "a girdle" underneath. The Lord of the Rings star had to pull the zipper "all the way down." The crowd cheered as Orlando finally unzipped her back.
Katy announced on the mic: "Now I can breathe!" He rushed back to his seat while the pop star said: "My hero." The movie star also shared snapshots from the prestigious event on Instagram.
