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 broke down a key scene in her “Woman’s World” music video. The 39-year-old pop titan formally launched her new album era with the empowering lead single this week.
One scene in the accompanying video has raised some questions online due to the sexualized nature. In a behind-the-scenes clip from the set, Katy explained the purpose of the “sarcastic” moment.

There’s also some product placement and cheeky moments before the pop star is “smashed” by an anvil and reemerges in a new costume. “We’re kind of just having fun, being a bit sarcastic with it,” she explained in a video shared on Instagram. “It’s very slapstick and very on the nose.” Katy continued, saying, “With this set it’s like, ‘Oooh, we’re not about the male gaze, but we really are about the male gaze.’ And we’re really overplaying it and on the nose.” The anvil was a moment to “reset” that helped her embrace the “idea of feminine divine.” “We wanted to open this video making it look like a super high-gloss pop star video,” Katy added, saying that they definitely achieved that. “Woman’s World” introduced Katy‘s new album 143, which arrives on 20.
