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 faced a backlash relating to lyrics about Jeffrey Dahmer after a new Netflix series put the serial killer's disturbing crimes in the spotlight for millions of viewers.
Having watched the Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story - fans have now taken an issue with the popstar's song 'Dark Horse'. In particular, the line sung by Juicy J which reads: "She's a beast/ I call her Karma/ She eats your heart like Jeffrey Dahmer." The track was released way back in 2013 and did cause minor controversy at the time and for a few years after, but the new disturbing Netflix series has reinvigorated the hot topic of conversation again as a meltdown about the song looms.
People have now taken to Twitter to voice their criticism about the lyrics. One user wrote: "Katy Perry should catch some heat for using the lyric, 'She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer'.The level of disrespect to the victims and their families." Another took aim at Juicy J and said: "knowing the depths of what Jeffrey Dahmer did….juicy j wrong for what he said in that katy perry song." Other fans have pointed out that Katy Perry isn't the only singer to have used the bizarre analogy in their song.
In Kesha's track, which was released in 2010, a line reads: "Be too sweet and you'll be a goner / Yeah, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer." The new series on the streaming platform Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has quickly become a hit for Netflix and is currently one of the most watched series on TV at the moment.
