14 times Katy Perry showed more than she should have – Don’t open if you’re fasting (With Pictures)

12. Her Name

Many artists don’t use their government names as a stage name and the only reason why Katy Perry decided to change hers was not to be confused with actress Kate Hudson. Perry’s real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Perry is also her mother’s maiden name. A good business move if you ask us.

11. Preachy Parents

Both of Katy’s parents are actually professional pastors. The ‘Roar’ singer grew up in the church and started her singing career at her parent’s church at the age of 9, until she was 17.
