For those who don’t know, Katy Perry was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson in Santa Barbara, California to Keith, a West Coast scenester in the 1960s, and Mary Hudson (née Perry), an evangelist who grew up in Southern California and had “a tempestuous first marriage in Zimbabwe.”
She is the second child of two pastors. She has an older sister and younger brother.
Perry’s mother’s aunt and uncle were screenwriter Eleanor Perry and director Frank Perry.
Perry was incorporated into her parents’ ministry and sang in their church between the ages of nine and seventeen.
She grew up listening to gospel music, was not allowed to listen to what her mother called “secular music”, and attended Christian schools and camps.
As a child, Perry learned how to dance in a recreation building in Santa Barbara. She was taught by seasoned dancers and began with swing, Lindy Hop, and jitterbug.
She took her GED after her freshman year at Dos Pueblos High School and decided to leave school in the pursuit of a career in music.
So what happened to her? Did she succomb to temptation and eat the apple?
Ooh! The naughty minister’s daughter!
WOW! I get it.
Where are her nudie pics and her sex tape? Is she like a Kardashian??
