The Profile

Katy Perry is an American pop singer and songwriter from Santa Barbara, California. After releasing a debut under the name Katy Hudson (2001), she broke through with I Kissed a Girl (2008) from One of the Boys. Teenage Dream (2010) delivered multiple US No. 1 singles, followed by Prism (2013) and Witness (2017). She headlined the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show in 2015.

Achieved five Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles from Teenage Dream (2010), tying Michael Jackson’s record; headlined the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show (2015).

Reviews highlight Perry’s knack for catchy, well-made pop (especially on One of the Boys), mixed reactions to Teenage Dream’s songwriting, and a spirited defense of the much-debated Witness. The Super Bowl XLIX show is noted for maximalist spectacle. Overall tone: varied but leaning appreciative of her pop instincts.
