Katy Perry as Katy Hudson in 2001
Before solidifying herself in the music world as a chart-topping pop star and nine-time Grammy nominee, chameleon-haired Katy Perry was Katy Hudson, an aspiring Christian singer-songwriter from Santa Barbara. She released her self-titled debut, Katy Hudson, in 2001, when she was only 16.
Seven years later, she became Katy Perry — the pop star who kissed a girl and liked it.
