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.
Thania Garcia Taylor Swift unveiled yet another special edition of her upcoming album, the “Tortured Poets Department,” this one featuring the bonus track “The Albatross,” during her “Eras Tour” show in Australia on Feb.
22. Sharing the album art for the special edition on Instagram, Swift revealed an alternate cover — a black and white image of her standing in front of a body of water — with a backside that reads “Am I allowed to cry?” The “Tortured Poets Department” follows 2022’s “Midnights” and is set to arrive on April 19.
This “Albatross” edition is the third version of “Tortured Poets” Swift has set so far. The album was announced first with “The Manuscript,” which she surprisingly revealed at the Grammys, followed by “The Bolter” iteration, which was uncovered during her “Eras” show in Melbourne earlier this month.
Fans at the Sydney concert were also treated to a duet between Swift and Sabrina Carpenter, whose opening set was cut due to weather-related delays.
