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 has responded to criticism of the music video for her new single ‘Woman’s World’, saying it was intended to be “satire”.The pop star shared the video on Thursday (July 11), after having teased it for several weeks.
It sees Perry on a mission to empower women around the world: “Sexy, confident / So intelligent / She is heaven-sent / So soft, so strong / She’s a winner, champion / Superhuman, number one / She’s a sister, she’s a mother“, she sings.The video finds Perry and a collection of other women carrying out tasks normally associated with masculinity, from construction work (while cosplaying as Rosie the Riveter) to driving monster trucks.Many found the video to be catering to the male gaze rather than overcoming it.
But in a new social media post that appears to have been made during the making of the video, she makes clear that it was intended to satirise the subject of gender norms.“You can do anything!
Even satire!” she wrote on X, alongside a video clip that opens with her loudly proclaiming, “Girlboss shit! You can do it, you go girl!”YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!
