14. She grew up as the pastor’s daughter
Katy Perry’s on-stage personality is quirky, loud, and sexual. So, it might come as a surprise to find out exactly how she got her start in the music industry – in church. Her parents are both pastors, and a young Katy starting singing at church when she was 9 and continued for years, until she was about 17. The lyrics in choir songs and hymns are a bit different than the lyrics in her pop hits, but the simple act of getting up in front of a big crowd and practicing singing in public likely prepared her well for a career in show businesses. Though it may seem like her parents might disapprove of her current pop identity, Perry herself has said that they’re nothing but supportive of their daughter.
