  • Born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on 25 October 1984 in California, US.
  • Dropped out in her freshman year to pursue gospel and pop music, earning her GED later as her career slowly took shape.
  • Before fame, Katy was dropped by multiple record labels, with each failed audition convincing execs she wasn’t marketable. Then I Kissed a Girl changed everything.
  • Was a boutique sales girl before becoming famous.

  • Her geisha-themed American Music Awards performance was slammed for turning Japanese culture into an exotic stage prop.
  • Despite fun stage shows, she has often been criticized for missing notes and struggling vocally in live sets.
