Katy Perry

Katy Perry (born Katheryn Hudson, 1984) is an American pop superstar known for vibrant style and hit songs like "I Kissed a Girl," "Roar," and "Firework". Raised by Pentecostal pastors, she began singing gospel, released a Christian album as Katy Hudson (2001), then transitioned to secular pop, adopting her mother's last name. After label struggles, her 2008 album One of the Boys and 2010's Teenage Dream, which tied Michael Jackson's record for five No. 1 singles from one album, cemented her global stardom.
