Katy Perry has a new song on the charts called “Rise,” reminding us that we always need to be reminded about the journey Katy has traveled to rise to fame and fortune. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson was born in Santa Barbara, CA in 1983 to a strict Christian family. Here are a few things about Katy that will surprise you.
Growing up Katy and her siblings were not allowed to eat the Lucky Charms cereal as her mother thought the word ‘luck’ reminded children of the devil Lucifer. Really…
Because of her deep religious background her mother would only allow Katy to listen to and sing Gospel music.
Yes her birth name is Hudson, but recorded executives persuaded her to take her mothers’ maiden name Perry to avoid any confusion with the actress Kate Hudson.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand were married for only four months before they split. They had been dating for only three months before the nuptials.
Although sporting rich brunette hair, Katy is a natural blonde.
