Early Life
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California, to Pentecostal preachers Mary and Maurice. She was raised in a conservative Christian household. Perry went around the country from age 3 to 11 due to her parents’ church-building efforts, before settling back in Santa Barbara.
There are two siblings in her family. As a child, Perry was only permitted to listen to religious music, particularly gospel, and discovered pop music by stealing CDs from his pals. Perry began vocal training at the age of nine because her sister was also taking voice lessons at the time and she wished to emulate her. She also sang in her parents’ church.

Career Beginnings
At the age of 15, Perry finished her General Educational Development (GED) requirements and quit school to pursue a career in music. She relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to work with rock musicians Steven Thomas and Jennifer Knapp after catching their attention.
Her debut album, a gospel song titled “Katy Hudson,” was released in 2001 following her signing with Red Hill Records. Despite the album receiving favourable reviews from critics, it was a commercial failure, selling barely 200 copies, according to estimates.
Perry made the switch from gospel music to secular pop when she relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 17. She stayed here up until 2004 when she joined The Island Def Jam Music Group-affiliated label Java. Perry joined Columbia Records after Java was released, where she worked on her album before the label released it in 2006.
Breakthrough
Perry joined Capitol Records in April 2007 and began working on the songs for her second album, “One of the Boys,” with producer Dr Luke. A digital EP of Perry’s song “Ur So Gay” was published in November 2007 to promote the album, but Perry’s career and ascent to stardom did not truly begin until the release of her single “I Kissed a Girl” in April 2008. The Hello Katy Tour, Perry’s first headliner global tour, ran from January to November 2009.
Continued Success
“California Gurls,” the first single from her upcoming album “Teenage Dream,” was released on May 7, 2010, after Perry appeared on “American Idol” as a guest judge. In June of that year, it peaked at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number one.
Despite a negative reception from critics, “Teenage Dream” debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 on August 24, 2010. California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Firework, E.T., and Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) all topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Perry the first female artist to reach five number-one Billboard Hot 100 songs from one album. The only other musician to have done so was Michael Jackson at the time.
As of January 5, 2012, Perry had sold 37.6 million pieces of digital music in the United States, making her the sixth best-selling digital artist there. Perry’s California Dream Tour, which lasted from February 2011 to January 2012 and brought in $59.5 million worldwide, was her second headlining tour. Katy Perry: Part of Me, an autobiographical documentary, was released by Paramount Pictures on July 5, 2012, and it made $32.7 million in box office revenue worldwide.
After its release on October 18, 2013, her fourth studio album, “Prism,” sold over 4 million copies by August of this year. As part of her third tour to support this album, Perry sold nearly 2 million tickets globally and earned $204.3 million in ticket sales during the Prismatic World Tour. Super Bowl XLIX halftime performance on February 1, 2015, was watched by 114.4 million people, which was more than the total number of people who tuned in to watch the game.
Perry announced the launch of her own Capitol Records record label, Metamorphosis Music, later renamed Unsub Records, on June 17, 2014. On June 9, 2017, she released her fifth album, “Witness,” for which she embarked on the Witness: The Tour, which ran from September 2017 to August 2018.
A jury ruled in July 2019 that Flame’s 2008 song “Joyful Noise” was plagiarised from Perry’s song “Dark Horse,” and Flame was forced to pay Flame $550,000.
Outside of Music
Perry has been in several television programmes, including “Saturday Night Live,” “The Simpsons,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and “Raising Hope,” in addition to her music career. In 2011, she made her acting debut in the animated family movie “The Smurfs,” where she played Smurfette. In 2013, she returned to her role in “The Smurfs 2.”
How much does Katy Perry make to host American Idol?
In March 2018, Kate Perry agreed to serve as a judge on ABC’s revival of “American Idol.” She made $15 million in her first season of pay. Katy’s American Idol compensation increased to $25 million beginning with the 2019 season.
Additionally, she has engaged in several business endeavours, such as the release of several fragrances, including Purr (2010) and Meow! (2011), Killer Queen (2013), and Mad Potion (2015); investing in Popchips in 2012 and serving as the company’s spokesperson; and releasing her own mobile game, “Katy Perry Pop,” through Glu Mobile in December 2015.
Personal Life
Russell Brand and Perry first crossed paths in the summer of 2009, and they later got engaged. On October 23, 2010, they got hitched in Rajasthan, India; nevertheless, they got divorced 14 months later. Without a prenup, Perry may have had to pay a divorce settlement of almost $22 million. But in the end, significantly less favourable terms were agreed upon for the separation.
Early in 2016, she started dating actor Orlando Bloom, and in February 2019, they got engaged.
Real Estate
For $14.5 million, Katy agreed to buy an 8.5-acre property featuring a 1920s home from the Los Angeles Catholic Archdiocese in 2014. For the three sisters who were living there at the time, the agreement was to include $10 million in cash and $4.5 million in the form of another property. Sadly, a few months later those nuns who had been living at the home for years made a separate agreement to sell the property to a businesswoman named Dana Hollister for a little bit more money, which would have been paid to their order directly.

An ongoing legal dispute over the land resulted from this. One of the nuns passed away IN COURT. In the end, Dana was penalised with a $6.5 million damage award for interfering with the transaction. The Archdiocese is allegedly still willing to close with Katy as soon as she can find an acceptable replacement property for the nuns, even though her option to purchase the house expired in August 2019.
She invested $19 million in 2017 to purchase a Beverly Hills property. She put this house up for sale for $19.5 million in March 2022.
She purchased a new Beverly Hills residence in 2018 for $7.5 million. Until Katy decided to offer the house for $8 million in 2020, it was occupied by family members.
Katy sold two adjacent residences in Runyon Canyon, Los Angeles, for a combined $12.3 million in 2019, as the nun court case was finally coming to an end.
A nearly 9-acre estate in Montecito, California, was purchased by Katy and Orlando for $14.2 million in October 2020.
