Katy Perry

This lavishly illustrated volume is as colorful and outrageous as its subject: pop sensation Katy Perry. A former choir girl, Perry rapidly transformed herself into a superstar with her breakthrough single "I Kissed a Girl." Since then, Katy has smashed records, received multiple Grammy® nominations, and sold out concerts worldwide. Noam Friedlander examines Perry's phenomenal rise, her music and videos, her fantastical retro-chic style, and key events in Perry's personal life--including her marriage to (and divorce from) comedian Russell Brand.
