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.
Katy Perry was called out by "American Idol" contestant Sara Beth Liebe who said that she was "hurt" and "embarrassed" after the judge made a "mom-shaming" joke during her audition earlier this month.
At the beginning of her audition, Liebe surprised Perry and fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan when she said she was 25 as they all commented that she looked much younger.The trio appeared even more stunned when Liebe revealed she was a mother of three, with Perry standing up and pretending to faint backward on the table. "If Katy lays on the table, I think I'm going to pass out," Liebe said through nervous laughter. "Honey, you’ve been laying on the table too much," the 38-year-old "Roar" singer quipped.
After the audition aired, Liebe shared her reaction to Perry's joke in a TikTok video. "There was a joke that was made that's gotten some attention, and I’ve gotten a lot of people reaching out to me asking how I’m feeling," she said.
Liebe continued, "At the start of my audition before I sang, I mentioned that I have three children and was a young mother, and Katy Perry made a joke that wasn't super kind." "It was embarrassing to have that on TV, and it was hurtful and that's that," she added. "But I did want to take this opportunity to just say that I think that women supporting and uplifting other women is so cool, and I think that mom shaming is super lame and I think that it's hard enough to be a mom, and it's hard enough to be a woman." She went on to express her gratitude for the support that she had received on social media after the audition aired and offer words of encouragement for young mothers.
