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.
Taylor Swift Reveals “Guilt” Over Vienna Shows Canceled Due To Planned Terror Attack; First Statement By Superstar Since Tour Ended
deadline.comTaylor Swift has broken her silence about the planned terror attacks that saw a series of concerts on her Eras Tour canceled in Austria earlier this month. “Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating,” said Swift today in a long post online. “ The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows,” she added of the trio of shows that were pulled from her European schedule on August 7. “But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives,” Swift stated just hours after finishing up another SRO show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) “Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows,” the Tortured Poets Department singer went on to say Wedesnday online of why she waited until after her last UK performance of the tour was in the can. “In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to.
My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.” MORE By providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
