Life and career

Early Life and Family

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson was born on October 25, in Santa Barbara, California, to Pentecostal pastors Mary Christine (née Perry) and Maurice Keith Hudson. Both of her parents turned to religion after a "wild youth". Perry has English, German, Irish, and Portuguese ancestry. Through her mother, she is a niece of film director Frank Perry. She has a younger brother, David, who is also a singer, and an older sister, Angela.

Perry moved frequently across the country from ages three to 11 as her strict parents established churches, eventually settling in Santa Barbara. During her childhood, she attended religious schools and camps, including Paradise Valley Christian School in Arizona and Santa Barbara Christian School in California during her elementary years. The family faced financial difficulties, at times relying on food stamps and receiving food from the food bank that also served her parents' church congregation.

As a child, Perry and her siblings were forbidden from eating Lucky Charms cereal because the word "luck" reminded their mother of Lucifer, and they had to refer to deviled eggs as "angeled eggs." Perry mainly listened to gospel music, as secular music was largely discouraged in their household. She first discovered popular music through CDs she secretly brought home from friends. Perry later recounted an experience when a friend played "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette, which had a significant impact on her songwriting and singing.

Although she doesn't strictly identify as religious, she has mentioned, "I pray all the time – for self-control, for humility." Inspired by her sister Angela, Perry started singing by practicing with her sister's cassette tapes. She performed those tracks for her parents, who eventually allowed her to take vocal lessons, just like Angela was at the time. Perry began her training at age nine; she also became involved in her parents' ministry, singing in church from ages nine to 17. At 13, she received her first guitar as a birthday gift, and began publicly performing her original songs.

Growing up, she made an effort to embrace the "typical Californian girl" image, taking up rollerskating, skateboarding, and surfing as a teenager. Her brother David referred to her as a "tomboy" during her youth, a theme she explores in her song "One of the Boys". She also took dancing lessons, mastering swing, Lindy Hop, and jitterbug. Perry completed her General Educational Development (GED) requirements early at the age of 15, during her first year of high school, and left Dos Pueblos High School to pursue a music career.

Career Beginnings, Katy Hudson, and Fingerprints

Perry briefly took vocal lessons from Agatha Danoff at facilities rented from the Music Academy of the West. Her singing attracted the attention of Nashville rock artists Steve Thomas and Jennifer Knapp, who brought her to the city to enhance her writing skills. In Nashville, she began recording demos and learned how to write songs and play guitar. Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut album, a contemporary Christian record titled Katy Hudson, on March 6. That year, she also joined Earthsuit and V*Enna to perform in Phil Joel's Strangely Normal Tour and undertook other performances of her own across the United States.

Katy Hudson received mixed reviews from critics and was commercially unsuccessful, selling an estimated 200 copies before the label ceased operations in December. After transitioning from gospel music to secular music, Perry began collaborating with producer Glen Ballard and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 17. She chose to work with Ballard because of his previous work with Alanis Morissette, one of her major inspirations. During this time, she briefly performed as Katheryn Perry to avoid confusion with actress Kate Hudson, later adopting the stage name "Katy Perry," which is derived from her mother's maiden name. In reflecting on her early career, she noted that "Thinking of You" was one of the first songs she wrote after relocating to Los Angeles. Perry also performed at the Hotel Café, showcasing new music while she navigated the space between record labels.

In [year], she signed to Ballard's label, Java Records, which was then affiliated with The Island Def Jam Music Group. Perry began work on a solo record due for release in March [year], but the record was shelved after Java was dropped. Ballard then introduced her to Tim Devine, an A&R executive at Columbia Records, and she was signed as a solo artist. By November [year], Perry had finished writing and recording material for her Columbia debut titled Fingerprints (with some of the material from this time appearing on One of the Boys) which was planned for release in [year]. Some of the material from Fingerprints that did not make it on One of the Boys was given to other artists, such as "I Do Not Hook Up" and "Long Shot" to Kelly Clarkson, and "Rock God" to Selena Gomez & the Scene.

Perry collaborated with various songwriters, including Desmond Child, Greg Wells, Butch Walker, Scott Cutler, Anne Preven, the Matrix, Kara DioGuardi, Max Martin, and Dr. Luke. Additionally, after Devine suggested that the songwriting team the Matrix become a "real group," she recorded an album titled The Matrix with them. This album featured her and Adam Longlands as lead vocalists. The Matrix was intended for release but was shelved due to creative differences. Perry was dropped from Columbia Records as Fingerprints neared completion. Following her departure from the label, she worked at an independent A&R company, Taxi Music.

Perry experienced minor success before her breakthrough. One of the tracks she recorded for her album with Ballard, "Simple," was included in the soundtrack for the film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. She also provided backing vocals on Mick Jagger's song "Old Habits Die Hard," which featured in the soundtrack of the film Alfie. In September, Blender named her "The Next Big Thing". Perry recorded background vocals on P.O.D.'s single "Goodbye for Now," appeared at the end of its music video, and performed with the band on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. That same year, she appeared in the music video for "Learn to Fly" by Carbon Leaf and portrayed the love interest of her then-boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travie McCoy, in the band's music video for "Cupid's Chokehold".

Breakthrough with One of the Boys

After Columbia dropped Perry, Angelica Cob-Baehler, then a publicity executive at the label, introduced Perry's demos to Virgin Records chairman Jason Flom. Flom believed she could become a breakthrough star, leading to her signing with Capitol Records in April. The label arranged for her to collaborate with Dr. Luke to create an "undeniable smash" to complement her existing material. Perry and Dr. Luke co-wrote the hits "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold" for her second album One of the Boys. A promotional campaign kicked off with the November release of the video for "Ur So Gay," a song designed to introduce her to the music market. A digital EP of the same name was also released that month. Madonna helped promote the song by calling it her "favorite song" during an appearance on the JohnJay & Rich radio show in April. In March, Perry made a cameo appearance as a club singer in the Wildfire episode "Life's Too Short" and appeared as herself during a photo shoot in June on The Young and the Restless for the show's magazine Restless Style.

Perry released her first single with Capitol, "I Kissed a Girl," on April 28, as the lead single from One of the Boys. The first station to pick up the song was WRVW in Nashville, which was inundated with enthusiastic calls in the first three days of playing it. The track topped the US Billboard Hot 100 on July 5 and remained number one for seven consecutive weeks. "I Kissed a Girl" sparked controversy among both religious and LGBT groups. The former criticized its homosexual theme, while the latter accused her of using bi-curiosity to sell records. In response to speculation that her parents opposed her music and career, Perry told MTV News that they had no problems with her success.

One of the Boys, released on June 17, 2008, garnered mixed critical reviews and reached number nine on the US Billboard 200. The album went on to sell 7 million copies worldwide. "Hot n Cold" was released the following September and became the album's second successful single, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100, while topping charts in Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, and Austria. Later singles "Thinking of You" and "Waking Up in Vegas" were released in 2009 and reached the top 30 of the Hot 100.

This marked the first all-female space flight since . The flight received widespread criticism for various reasons, including claims that it was a media ploy or PR stunt for Amazon. Later that month, Perry launched her fifth concert tour, the Lifetimes Tour, which is set to conclude in December. In July, she and Bloom confirmed that they had ended their relationship following reports in the previous month.

Artistry

Influences

Perry identifies her sister Angela as the most influential woman in her life. In the early stages of her career, Perry's musical style leaned towards gospel, aspiring to achieve the same success as Amy Grant. Having grown up without access to secular music, her perspective changed at 17 when a friend introduced her to "Killer Queen" by Queen, leaving a lasting impact on her. She regards the band's frontman, Freddie Mercury, as her primary influence, highlighting how his "sarcastic approach to writing lyrics and his 'I don't give a fuck' attitude" shaped her own music. In tribute to the band, she named her third fragrance Killer Queen.

Perry described the Beach Boys and their album Pet Sounds as having a significant influence on her music: "Pet Sounds is one of my favorite records and it influenced nearly all of my songwriting. Every melody choice I make is inspired by Pet Sounds." The singer also holds the Beatles' eponymous album in high regard and noted that these two albums were "the only things I listened to for probably two years straight."

Perry cites Alanis Morissette and her album Jagged Little Pill as a major musical inspiration. She remarked, "Jagged Little Pill was the most perfect female record ever made. There's a song for anyone on that record; I relate to all those songs. They're still so timeless." In addition, Perry draws influence from Flaming Red by Patty Griffin and 10 Cent Wings by Jonatha Brooke. Her autobiographical documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me was significantly influenced by Madonna: Truth or Dare. She admires Madonna's ability to reinvent herself, stating, "I want to evolve like Madonna".

Perry names Björk as an influence, particularly admiring her "willingness to always be taking chances". Other artists whom Perry has cited as influences include Stevie Nicks, ABBA, the Cardigans, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Ace of Base, 3OH!3, CeCe Peniston, C+C Music Factory, Black Box, Crystal Waters, Mariah Carey, Heart, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Imogen Heap, Rufus Wainwright, Pink, and Gwen Stefani. "Firework" was inspired by a passage in Jack Kerouac's book On the Road, where the author compares people who are full of life to fireworks that shoot across the sky, capturing people's awe. Her second concert tour, the California Dreams Tour, drew inspiration from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She also credits the film The Craft for inspiring her song "Dark Horse", and Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now for influencing Prism.

Musical Style and Themes

While Perry's music blends elements of pop, rock, and disco, Katy Hudson showcases gospel influences. Her later albums, One of the Boys and Teenage Dream, delve into themes of love and sexuality. One of the Boys is characterized as a pop rock record, while Teenage Dream incorporates disco elements. Perry's fourth album, Prism, is heavily influenced by dance and pop music, with lyrics exploring relationships, self-reflection, and everyday experiences. Her fifth studio album, Witness, is described as an electropop project and referred to by Perry as a "360-degree liberation" record, addressing themes of political and sexual freedom, as well as liberation from negativity. Many songs, especially on Teenage Dream, reflect teenage love; W magazine noted the album's sexual innuendos as "irresistible hook-laden melodies". A recurring theme in Perry's music is self-empowerment.

Perry has described herself as a "singer-songwriter masquerading as a pop star" and emphasizes the importance of honest songwriting. She told Marie Claire: "I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest. I think you become more relatable when you're vulnerable." Actress and comedian Kristen Wiig remarked that "as easy, breezy, and infectious as Perry's songs can be, beneath the surface lurks a sea of mixed emotions, jumbled motives, and contradictory impulses complicated enough to fill a Carole King record." According to Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, "being taken seriously may be Perry's greatest challenge yet." In The New York Times, she was labeled "the most potent pop star of the day – her hits are relatable with just a hint of experimentation." Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times criticized her for using idioms and clichés in her lyrics. Throughout her career, Perry has co-written songs for various artists, including Lesley Roy, Kelly Clarkson, Jessie James Decker, Selena Gomez & the Scene, Britney Spears, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande.

Voice

Perry has a contralto vocal range. Her singing has garnered both acclaim and criticism. Betty Clarke of The Guardian noted that her "powerful voice is hard-edged", while Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone characterized Perry's vocals on Teenage Dream as "processed staccato blips". Darren Harvey of musicOMH likened Perry's vocals on One of the Boys to Alanis Morissette's, highlighting a "perky voice shifting octaves mid-syllable". Alex Miller from NME remarked that "Perry's problem is often her voice" on One of the Boys, suggesting that "somewhere along the line someone convinced her she was, well, a ballsy rock chick". Conversely, Bernadette McNulty from The Daily Telegraph lauded her "rock chick voice" in a review of a concert promoting Prism.

Public image

In November, Perry surpassed Justin Bieber to become the most followed person on social media. She received a Guinness World Record for having the most followers, and in June, she became the first person to reach 100 million followers on the platform. Keith Caulfield of Billboard commented that Perry is "the rare celebrity who seems to have enormous popularity but genuine ground-level interaction with her adoring KatyCats". As of September, she was the second-most followed woman on the platform, boasting over 104 million followers, and ranked as the sixth most followed musician across social media, with a total of over 377 million followers across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In June, Time magazine recognized Perry as one of its "25 Most Influential People on the Internet" for the year, noting that her live-stream for Witness was "blazing a trail" for providing fans with the kind of 'real' intimacy that social media promises to deliver.

Perry has been described as a sex symbol; GQ labeled her a "full-on male fantasy," while Elle remarked that her body looked "as though sketched by a teenage boy." Vice referred to her as a "'serious' popstar/woman/sex symbol." She was named number one on the Maxim Hot 100 as the "most beautiful woman in the world," with editor Joe Levy praising her as "triple – no quadruple – kind of hot." Men's Health readers voted her the "sexiest woman of [year]." In November [year], Perry told Harper's Bazaar that she was proud of and satisfied with her [body/image].

Perry's fashion often combines humor, vibrant colors, and food-inspired motifs, exemplified by her signature spinning peppermint swirl dress. Vogue noted that she is "never exactly one to shy away from the outrageous or the extreme in any realm," dubbing her the "Queen of Camp," while Glamour referred to her as the "queen of quirk." In February, Perry shared with Seventeen that her fashion style is "a bit of a concoction of different things," expressing her delight in humor through her clothing. She has also characterized her fashion sense as having "multipersonality disorder." Perry cites Gwen Stefani, Shirley Manson, Chloë Sevigny, Daphne Guinness, Natalie Portman, and the fictional character Lolita as her style icons. In a past feature, Elle labeled her "the kitsch-loving pop star renowned for her uniquely experimental style," while Vogue described her aesthetic as "synonymous with outrageous, eye-catching ensembles that lean towards the theatrical."

During the launch of her shoe collection, Katy Perry Collections, she shared her thoughts on shoes: "When I first got to L.A., I cultivated my style on a budget, always shopping at thrift stores or vintage shops. ... Once, I found these flats that looked like Dalmatian dogs. They had ears that moved and a tongue that stuck out. They were such a conversation piece. That's what is so great about fashion. ... It's a form of communication. You don't have to start a smoking habit to talk to someone. You can just wear cool shoes. It's an icebreaker."

Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

While serving as a judge on American Idol, Perry gave an unwanted kiss to 19-year-old contestant Benjamin Glaze. When Glaze revealed that he had never kissed a girl—an allusion to Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl"—she signaled for him to approach her for a kiss on the cheek but then kissed him on the lips instead. Her actions sparked backlash, with many arguing that had the roles been reversed, and a male judge kissed a female contestant in the same manner, the response would have been notably different. Glaze later expressed that the experience made him uncomfortable, as it was his first kiss and he had hoped it would be special, though he dismissed the idea that he felt sexually harassed by Perry.

In August, Josh Kloss, Perry's co-star in the "Teenage Dream" music video, accused her of sexual misconduct. In an Instagram post, Kloss alleged that during a party at a skating rink, Perry pulled down his sweatpants and underwear, exposing his penis to her male friends. He further claimed that her management prevented him from discussing his time with the singer. Johnny Wujek, the creative director of the party, defended Perry, stating that she "would never do something like that" and accused Kloss of having an "ongoing obsession" with her. After initially refraining from responding, believing it would detract from the MeToo movement, Perry has also denied Kloss's claims.

Legacy

Several media outlets, including Billboard and Glamour, have referred to her as the "Queen of Pop," while others, such as Vogue, Rolling Stone, and InStyle, have dubbed Perry the "Queen of Camp." Andrew Unterberger of Billboard described Teenage Dream as "one of the defining LPs from a new golden age in mega-pop", while Christopher Rosa of Glamour recognized her as an influence on the pop sound and style of the 2010s, noting that her singles are "some of the most recognizable, iconic, and impactful hits in pop history." Perry was named "one of the last decade's most reliable and successful hitmakers" by the Official Charts Company in 2020.

Additionally, Perry was featured in Glamour's "104 Women Who Defined the Decade in Pop Culture" list of the 2010s. The list noted that Perry "did more than just break chart records. She was one of the driving forces behind the sound of pop radio in the 2010s" for her tracks that were "glossy, booming, sugary-sweet, and undeniably catchy". Variety included Perry in their Variety 500 list of the most influential business leaders, describing her as a "global phenomenon" and a "dedicated artist and tireless self-promoter who has leveraged chart-topping hits, sold-out stadium shows, and staggering endorsement deals to become one of the richest and most influential pop stars alive." A journal published by Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts studying structural patterns in the melodies of earworm songs compiled lists of the catchiest tracks from 3,000 participants, in which Perry's "California Gurls" ranked sixth. She has been dubbed a "gay icon" by Taylor Henderson of Out, highlighting how "I Kissed a Girl" helped fans explore their sexuality and how Perry has openly embraced the LGBTQ+ community.

Perry's music has been described by Out as having a "lasting legacy," with American artists Fletcher sampling "I Kissed a Girl" and Olivia Rodrigo referencing Teenage Dream in her song "Brutal." Additionally, other musicians such as Halsey and Ariana Grande have praised Perry's work; the former called Teenage Dream the "perfect pop album," while Grande stated that "The One That Got Away" is "one of the biggest and most perfectly written pop songs ever from one of the best pop albums of all time."

Other ventures

Philanthropy

Perry has supported numerous charitable organizations and causes throughout her career, particularly those aimed at improving the lives and welfare of children. In April, she joined UNICEF to assist children in Madagascar with education and nutrition. On December 3, she was officially named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, with a special focus on engaging young people in the agency's work to improve the lives of the world's most vulnerable children and adolescents. She allocated a portion of the funds generated from ticket sales for her Prismatic World Tour to UNICEF. In September, she collaborated with Raven-Symoné, Shaquille O'Neal, and the cast of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to help build and design the Boys Hope/Girls Hope foundation shelter for youth in Baltimore, Maryland. In a memorable performance, Perry and Nicki Minaj covered "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" for service members during the VH1 Divas Salute the Troops concert.

She has also supported children's education and well-being. All profits from sales of the album The Gay Nineties Old Tyme Music: Daisy Bell, which features her rendition of "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)", were donated to the charity Little Kids Rock, which promotes musical education in underprivileged elementary schools. In June, she collaborated with Staples Inc. on a project called "Make Roar Happen," which contributed $1 million to DonorsChoose, an organization that supports teachers and provides resources for public school classrooms. In May, she partnered with UNICEF to enhance child care quality in Vietnam, aiming to "break the cycle of poverty and dramatically improve children's health, education, and well-being". The following month, UNICEF announced that Perry would receive the Audrey Hepburn Humanitarian Award "for her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in support of the world's most vulnerable children" at their annual Snowflake Ball in November. All Spotify streams of her cover of "All You Need Is Love" generated $1 in donations for the charity Baby2Baby.

The proceeds from Perry's single "Part of Me" were donated to the charity MusiCares, which supports musicians in need. During her California Dreams Tour, she raised over $175,000 for the Tickets-For-Charity fundraiser, with the funds distributed among three charities: the Children's Health Fund (CHF), Generosity Water, and The Humane Society of the United States. On her 27th birthday, Perry created a donations page for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Auckland, and for her 28th birthday, she established a similar page benefiting the David Lynch Foundation. On March 29, she helped raise $2.4 million for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, alongside other celebrities including Ryan Seacrest, Pharrell Williams, Tim Allen, Lisa Edelstein, and Riley Keough.

Perry performed at the One Love Manchester benefit concert for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing, alongside various performers, including its organizer Ariana Grande. The event was broadcast live on June 4 on radio and television stations around the world. In March, Perry announced Witness: Coming Home, a benefit concert that took place in her hometown of Santa Barbara on May 19. The concert aimed to support those recovering from the aftermath of the California wildfires and Southern California mudflows. Perry collaborated with the Santa Barbara Foundation, the Fund, and The 805 UndocuFund—organizations dedicated to assisting community members in the Santa Barbara area through grants and various philanthropic efforts.

Activism and Political Views

Perry has publicly advocated for LGBT rights and revealed that she wrote "I Kissed a Girl" based on her own bisexual experiences with other women. In [year], she received a National Equality Award from the Human Rights Campaign for "using her powerful voice and international platform to speak out for LGBTQ equality." During her acceptance speech, she talked about her bisexual experiences, her fluid sexuality, and expressed gratitude to the LGBTQ+ community. In an Out interview in [year], she was celebrated as a "gay icon," with "I Kissed a Girl" being referred to as a "bonafide queer anthem." Perry continued to express her appreciation for the LGBTQ+ community in the same interview, stating: "I came from a very sheltered upbringing where it wasn't okay to be friends with anyone from that community. And now that is my community." She also noted, "I wouldn't have survived without the community and it's amazing how full circle it's come and how much growth has happened since I started." Tomás Mier of Rolling Stone remarked that Perry "championed queer folks, especially drag queens, throughout her career."

She dedicated the music video for her song "Firework" to the It Gets Better Project. In June, Perry expressed her hopes for LGBT equality, stating, "Hopefully, we will look back at this moment and reflect on it in the same way we do with other civil rights issues. We'll just shake our heads in disbelief, saying, 'Thank God we've evolved.' That would be my prayer for the future." In December, Perry was awarded the Trevor Hero Award by The Trevor Project for her work and activism on behalf of LGBT youth.

Perry identifies as a feminist, and appeared in April in a video clip for the "Chime for Change" campaign aimed at promoting female empowerment. She has also expressed that America's lack of free health care drives her "absolutely crazy". Following the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in June, Perry and nearly 200 other artists and music executives signed an open letter organized by Billboard, addressed to the United States Congress, demanding increased gun control in the country.

By performing at rallies, Perry supported President Barack Obama in his re-election campaign and praised his advocacy for same-sex marriage and LGBT equality. She performed at three rallies for Obama—in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Wisconsin—where she sang "Let's Stay Together" along with several of her own songs. During her performance in Las Vegas, she wore a dress designed to resemble a voting ballot with Obama's box marked. On social media, she encouraged her followers to vote for Obama.

In August, prior to a performance in Australia, Perry stated her disagreement with conservative Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott's stance against same-sex marriage, telling him, "I love you as a human being but I can't give you my vote." Abbott had called into a talkback segment on Sydney radio station 2Day FM to ask Perry when she would return to Australia for a full tour. In April, she publicly supported Marianne Williamson in her campaign for California's 33rd congressional district by attending a political press event. She endorsed Kamala Harris in the United States Senate election in California and organized a fundraiser for Harris at her home in Los Angeles in November. Perry also publicly endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president. She performed alongside Elton John at a fundraising concert for Clinton in New York City in March. Additionally, Perry spoke and performed at the Democratic National Convention in support of Clinton.

Four years later, she supported Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the United States presidential election, praising Harris as a leader with "the experience we desperately need right now" and affirming that Biden "choosing her as his running mate is a testament to his decision-making." In a subsequent post, Perry shared a picture of herself voting for conservative candidate Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayoral election, which drew heavy criticism from Democrats. During the United States presidential election, she endorsed Harris for office, stating, "I've always known her to fight for the most vulnerable, to speak up for the voiceless, and to protect our rights as women to make decisions about our own bodies."

Los Feliz Property Purchase Attempt

In a contentious legal struggle, Perry sought to purchase a former convent in Los Angeles, involving the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, members of the Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of Mary, and real estate developer Dana Hollister. She initially proposed a cash offer of $14.5 million for the eight-acre Los Feliz property. However, two elderly nuns, Sister Rita Callanan and Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, opposed the sale and attempted to sell the property to Hollister for $15.5 million, believing that she would preserve the site and make it accessible to the public. The archdiocese subsequently filed a lawsuit, claiming the nuns lacked the authority to sell the property and that any sale exceeding $7.5 million required approval from the Vatican.

In a ruling by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, the sale to Hollister was deemed invalid due to the lack of necessary church approval, thereby allowing Perry to proceed with his purchase. Subsequently, a jury found that Hollister had intentionally interfered with Perry's real estate transaction, resulting in $5 million awarded in compensatory damages—$3.47 million to the archdiocese and $1.57 million to Perry's company. The judge later imposed an additional $10 million in punitive damages, which was divided between Perry and the archdiocese.

Achievements

Throughout her career, Perry has won five American Music Awards, 14 People's Choice Awards, and 19 Guinness World Records, along with a Brit Award and a Juno Award. In September, Billboard named her the "Woman of the Year". From May to September, the singer achieved a record-breaking 69 consecutive weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. Teenage Dream became the first album by a female artist to produce five number-one Billboard Hot 100 singles and the second album overall to achieve this feat after Michael Jackson's Bad. In the United States, she has garnered nine number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, with her most recent being "Dark Horse", and she holds the record for having 18 consecutive number-one songs on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.

In [year], Forbes ranked her third on their "Top-Earning Women In Music" list with earnings of $44 million and fifth on their [list] with $45 million. She subsequently ranked seventh on the Forbes list for "Top-Earning Women In Music" with $39 million earned, and fifth on their [list] with $40 million. With earnings of $135 million, Forbes also ranked Perry number one on their "Top-Earning Women In Music" list as well as the "World's Highest-Paid Musicians," declaring her the highest earning female celebrity in [year], placing her at number 3 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list. In [year], the magazine estimated her net worth was $125 million, and ranked her number six on their list of "Highest-Paid Women in Music" with earnings of $41 million. The following year, she was ranked number nine on the list with $33 million. In [year], she topped its "Highest-Paid Women in Music" listing and ranked at number four on the "Highest-Paid Female Celebrities" list, with earnings of $83 million. Perry subsequently was placed at number four on the "Highest-Paid Women in Music" listings, with $57.5 million. Later that year, with earnings of $530 million throughout the [decade], the magazine also ranked her as the ninth-highest-earning musician of the decade. Perry is among the wealthiest musical artists; during September [year], Forbes surmised her net worth was $340 million. This increased to $360 million by June [year], where she was included on the magazine's list of "America's Richest Women Celebrities".
