Katy Perry

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.

by a mass shooting survivor. What started as a normal audition for 21-year-old Trey Louis took an emotional turn when he wowed the judges with his cover of the 2016 song “Stone” by Whiskey Myers.

Following a standing ovation from all three judges, Louis — who works as a mattress salesperson — revealed that he was a survivor of a 2018 mass shooting at Santa Fe High School in which a gunman allegedly killed eight students and two teachers. “[I] lost a lot of friends,” said the stoic singer, who said the gunman opened fire in the classroom next to his before coming into his art class. “It’s just really been negative, and Santa Fe’s had a bad rap since 2018.”All three judges appeared affected by his statement, and while Luke Byran praised Louis’ vocals and big heart, Perry, 38, fell forward onto the table. “Our country has f–king failed us!” shouted the crying “Teenage Dream” singer, prompting a carefully composed Louis to acknowledge the statement — simply saying, “Facts” — to which Perry responded, “This is not OK.”“You should be singing here because you love music, not because you had to go through that f–king bulls–t,” Perry said through tears. “You don’t have to lose eight friends.

I hope that you remind people that we have to change. ’Cuz, you know, I’m scared, too.”Her co-judges Bryan and Lionel Richie, who were also choked up, attempted to console Perry with outstretched arms. “It’s terrible, Katy.

Horrible,” Louis responded to Perry. “We have tolerated this for so long, too long. It’s become the norm,” said a teary Richie.
