Her parents were pastors, and she started her singing career by singing gospel music. Her first album wasn’t under the name Katy Perry. It was released in 2001 under her birth name, Katy Hudson, and was a gospel record.

“I Kissed a Girl” was the song that catapulted Katy Perry to international fame in 2008. The song was controversial but became a massive hit worldwide. Her album “Teenage Dream” made history by tying Michael Jackson’s record for most number-one singles from a single album. It produced five chart-topping singles.

Katy also performed at the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show in 2015, which became the most-watched halftime show in Super Bowl history at that time. At one point, Katy Perry was the most followed person on Twitter, boasting millions of followers. Though she’s been surpassed since, she remains one of the platform’s most influential figures. Perry has also ventured into voice acting. She voiced the character Smurfette in the animated films “The Smurfs” and “The Smurfs 2”.
