Download or read book Katy Perry written by Jo Berry and published by Orion. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifting the lid on the chart-topping, girl-kissing, trend-setting princess of pop In 2006, Katy Perry was on the brink of packing it all in and giving up - Hollywood had almost got the better of her. Two hit albums later and she practically owns the place. The gorgeous singer, best known for her flirty hit 'I Kissed a Girl', likes to flaunt her feminine side with inch-long eyelashes, maraschino-cherry lips, and playful retro outfits like polka-dotted hot pants and tube dresses, but Katy's path to fame was far bumpier than her glamtastic image lets on. Raised in Santa Barbara, California, she started her musical career in the church, her parents were both born-again Christian pastors. Her first album, released in 2001, was Christian gospel and the rules for her early years were 'no pop, no snacks, no boys'. At 16 she dropped out of high school and made the move to L.A., and her life was forever changed. It took more than eight years of false starts, winning and losing three record contracts, before she scored the million-selling album One of the Boys. But once `Ur So Gay' was declared by Madonna as her song of the year, 'I Kissed a Girl' ignited all that controversy, and Katy met her husband-to-be Russell Brand and so became one half of one of the most exciting and endearing Hollywood couples, Katy Perry was propelled to the top of the Hollywood A list. Jo Berry's insightful and honest biography reveals the incredible story of the life and loves of the artist and performer Katy Perry.

How she was able to stratospherically rise to fame? Some time ago, unknown and insecure 16-year-old teen released self-titled amateurish debut album and a decade later the same person has reached record-breaking, chart-topping heights. This unknown girls was Taylor Swift, becoming 10-time Grammy winner, establishing herself as a musician who can delight, surprise and inspire people around the world in a very unique way. This biography of Taylor Swift is packed with details about what motivates, drives and inspires her to become the ultimate pop superstar by taking the hearts of a lot of fans around the world. As a musician, Taylor Swift relates to her audience through the songs that proactively express toxic relationships, overcoming challenges and reaching wildest dreams.

Taylor Swift went through a lot of challenges in life, some of which I'll explore in detail in this biography. One of the most significant things about her is that Swift always promoted the idea of being independent and empowered women. In fact, somehow in her songs she communicated that to her audience. So I would say she's a strong advocate for equal rights for women and independence. This biography is a tribute to Taylor Swift, but she was not involved in its creation.
