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.

Ford may not be a fan of the extravagant ensembles, but former Vogue West Coast director Lisa Love told Odell that Anna Wintour loves it. “It’s that English part of her.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri, and Wintour, the artistic director of Condé Nast and the global editorial director of Vogue, will also co-chair the 2022 event after last September’s Part 1 of the “In America” exhibit.
