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 had a wardrobe malfunction at this year’s Met Gala, as a video from the event showed the singer’s shoe stuck in an air vent.
On 2 May, the 37-year-old singer arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a white silk mini-dress and floor-length black shawl with a floral neckline designed by Oscar de la Renta.
She paired her look with black sheer gloves and silver earrings. Once the American Idol judge entered the event, however, she encountered a small issue with her shoes, which was later revealed in a video posted to Instagram by Derek Blasberg, head of fashion and beauty at YouTube.
At the start of the clip, Blasberg was filming model Karlie Koss, who expressed that her “accessory of the year”at the Met Gala was her “knee brace,” paired with her “couture gown”.
