In 2012, a documentary about Katy Perr hit theaters.
The film opens with the director interviewing random children, asking them a simple question: "Why do you like Katy Perry so much?" Surprisingly, the responses weren't limited to just young kids but resonated with millions of men, women, and children alike.
Back in 2006, Twitter conducted its own survey among user vloggers when it had nearly 200 million registered users.
It was a time when Katy Perry, boasting 90 million followers, surpassed Taylor Swift and superstar Rihanna. Katy Perry triumphed, ascending the Twitter throne as the "Queen of Twitter."
These accolades were not mere flattery; they were the fruits of her remarkable musical achievement.
In 2014, Katy's album "PRISM" powered her world tour, and it became legendary for consistently selling out venues. The numbers were staggering: seventeen sold-out concerts in the UK, sixty-six in North America, and an additional twenty-five each in Australia and New Zealand.
Katy's album "PRISM" secured her the title of Forbes' " The Best-Paid Women In Music" for six consecutive years, marking the zenith of her career. Her concerts were characterized by jam-packed venues, leaving no empty seats, and drawing fans of all ages.
Early in her career, Katy released "Roar," a single that shot to the top of download charts in more than 50 countries and territories within a day.
In 2008, with a single album, she created a record of five No.1 hits.
Katy Perry is recognized alongside Rihanna, Adele, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga as one of the "Five Leading Divas in the Western World."
However, Katy Perry is perhaps most renowned for her longstanding feud with Taylor Swift.
Once the closest of friends, their interests and boyfriends led them to write songs about and criticize each other.
In 2019, Taylor released the music video for "You Need To Calm Down," featuring Katy Perry as a special guest, signifying their reconciliation. In the video, Katy transformed into a giant burger while Taylor became giant fries, symbolizing a sweet and dreamy embrace that signaled the end of their feud.
In the midst of her career slowdown, Katy shifted her focus to her family. That same year, she became engaged to British actor Orlando Bloom. On August 26, 2020, Katy welcomed her daughter, Daisy, joyfully embracing motherhood.
Just two days later, Katy released her fifth studio album, "Smile."
"Smile," the album, was primarily crafted during Katy's pregnancy. The title track, "Smile," reflects Katy's journey of self-realization amid sadness.
Much like her recent transformation, Katy has learned to approach life with a "gamer's" mindset, growing more confident and content after overcoming adversity.
