Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter,
and television personality. She is one of the best-selling music artists in history, having sold over 151 million records worldwide.
Perry is known for her influence on pop music and her camp style, being dubbed the "Queen of Camp" by Vogue and Rolling Stone. The
- world's highest-paid female musician in 2015 and 2018, she was named by Billboard as one of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century.
On April 14, 2025, she flew into space aboard Blue Origin NS-31, Blue Origin's eleventh crewed flight to space under the New
Shepard program, along with Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez. It was the first all-female
space flight since 1963. The flight event was widely criticized for various reasons, including assertions that it was a media ploy
or PR stunt for Amazon. Later that month, Perry embarked on her fifth concert tour, the Lifetimes Tour, which ended in December.
In July 2025, she and Bloom confirmed that they had ended their relationship the previous month.
Perry began dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau later that year. On December 6, the two confirmed their relationship on Instagram.
