Singer-songwriter Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (stage name Katy Perry) began her career in gospel music after a strict religious upbringing. When she was exposed to secular music for the first time, it inspired her to pursue a career in pop, where she has now made a career with hits such as "Hot N' Cold," "California Gurls," "Firework," "Teenage Dream," and "Rise."

Currently, Katy is engaged to actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares one child: a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in 2020.
