timeline
born 1984Katy Perry is the world's highest grossing pop artist ~ a remarkable feat for a girl who didn't even listen to "secular" music growing up. The California preacher's kid's path to stardom wasn't easy. She was dropped from labels; her first album sold a mere 200 copies; she had to clock time singing backup. But, when she finally found a label willing to back her sense of infectious fun + unapologetic weirdness, the world immediately took note.
Today, Katy enjoys record-breaking popularity. And, she uses it to spread the love as a goodwill ambassador, multi-cause philanthropist and inspiring fan favorite who's tagline is "be yourself, and you can be anything."
