Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson has become one of the world’s biggest pop singers. She’s better known by her stage name Katy Perry (from her mother’s maiden name) which was created so she could stand out from actress Kate Hudson. It took her a while to finally have her voice heard, but once she did, Perry rose to international fame with the release of her 2008 single “I Kissed a Girl.” She’s been pumping out chart topping hits like “Teenage Dream,” “Roar,” “Firework,” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” and even performed at the most watched and highest rated Super Bowl halftime show in history. More recently, she’s been making headlines for her relatively new relationship with Hollywood actor, Orlando Bloom, and her public endorsement of Hilary Clinton and we can expect to hear much more from her soon because she’s currently busy making her fifth studio album that will include her newest single “Rise.” In honor of her upcoming 32nd birthday, we’ve compiled a list of 10 things you might not have known about this amazingly talented singer!
Katy Perry was born in Santa Barbara, California on October 25, 1984 under the name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. She has two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother. Even though Perry grew up as a Cali girl and sees herself as one now who loves to surf and lay out in the sun, she didn’t always enjoy living there as a child. “I left for L.A. when I was 17. Santa Barbara was boring to me back then. Now all I want is to be bored in Santa Barbara, because it is a beautiful place! But when I was young, I felt a little trapped on an island — my family isn’t well-off, and it was kind of tough to be hanging out with the millionaire families that live there. I always made do — if I had five dollars, I’d go to the thrift stores on State Street and get my vintage cardigans and pencil skirts. Thank God for the body, because that ’40s look really worked on me,” she said.

She grew up in an extremely religious household. Her parents were both Pentecostal pastors and they raised her under their religion which meant she wasn’t allowed to watch things like The Smurfs or read the Harry Potter books. She read the bible instead of children’s books and went to church Sunday mornings, evenings and Wednesday nights. She grew up only listening to Christian music and sang in the church choir until she was 17. The first non-Christian album that she heard was Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Phil. As soon as she was old enough to make her own decisions, she ran as far away from her parents’ religion as possible, but maintains that she is still religious, just not to the same extent as how she was raised. “I try and keep my connection with the G-O-D or with a power that’s bigger than me. It’s important — otherwise, you don’t have any kind of accountability. If you think, Hey, at the end of it all I am just going to be dust, or I have no soul or whatever, why not just be a menace to society? For me, accountability works,” she said in an interview with W magazine.
