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.
While performing at Coachella in 2019, Billie Eilish got the chance to meet Katy Perry backstage.
The moment was documented in Billie’s new documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry, which premiered on Feb. 25.
Katy was with her fiance, Orlando Bloom, when she came across Billie backstage, and after the meeting, Billie admitted that she had no idea who Orlando even was! “Who was that?” Billie asked her brother, Finneas, in her trailer after the encounter.
Finneas explained that it was Orlando Bloom, the actor who played Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean. “That guy?!” Billie wondered. “That was him?” Finneas even pulled up the now-viral photos of Orlando paddle boarding naked with Katy in 2016.
