Katy Perry – an American singer whose real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson and one of the most successful pop performers of the 21st century. She began her career in gospel music before adopting the stage name Katy Perry and moving towards mainstream pop. The 2008 album “One of the Boys” and its singles “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold” brought her international recognition. Five songs from the 2010 album “Teenage Dream” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first album by a female artist to achieve that result. “Roar” and “Dark Horse” from “Prism” became two of her largest worldwide commercial hits. “Witness”, “Smile” and “143” represented later stages of her career, incorporating dance-pop, electronic production and more personal themes. Perry headlined the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show in 2015, delivering one of the most-watched performances in the event’s history. At least six of her songs, including “Firework”, “Roar”, “Dark Horse”, “California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream” and “E.T.”, have received Diamond certification in the United States. Colourful visual concepts, humorous music videos and large-scale arena productions have become central to her global pop identity.
