Katy Perry has become America’s latest sweetheart in the music industry. Her song “California Gurls” has been stationed at the very top of Billboard’s chart since it debuted, and it looks to remain strong throughout the rest of the summer. The catchy jingle also features rap master Snoop Dogg and has been billed by some as a “West Coast alternative” to the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys collaboration “Empire State of Mind.”

However, no matter which state you call home, it is hard to argue about Perry’s popularity. Her next album is due out next month, called Tadacip Teenage Dream. Its second single and title track “Teenage Dream” looks to be another slam dunk for the bubble-gum pop star. On the song, Perry sings about a crush who makes her feel like a teenager once again. She is quoted on MTV News as saying, “I wrote that song in Santa Barbara and it was a very pure moment for me, because that’s where I’m from. And it was, like, where I started my creative juices. And also it kind of exudes this euphoric feeling because everybody remembers what their teenage dreams were – all the girls that were on your poster walls.”

The singer is currently shooting the music video for the ballad, which is directed by Yoann Lemoine. Take a trip back to the teen years with Katy Perry when you book your own pair of Katy Perry tickets online.

In the very beginning Katy Perry was Katy Hudson and she focused her musical efforts on Christian music. She was, however, inspired by the work of both Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury and ultimately she would make the decision to switch genres and appeal to a much broader audience.

Katy Perry first emerged on the scene as a pop music artist in 2008 with her album One of the Boys. Its leadoff single “UR So Gay” generated buzz on radio stations around the country and put the former Christian recording artist in completely new territory. Perry further gained attention when she performed as part of the Vans Warped Tour that same summer. Other singles that blew up the charts included “Hot N Cold,” “Thinking of You” and “Waking up in Vegas.”

Her debut had established her as one of the hottest young stars in the industry and the stage was set for several nationwide tours as well as follow-up albums. Her fans welcomed the arrival of “California Gurls” when it officially debuted in 2010 and signaled her forthcoming second album.

Perry’s contemporary teen pop beats have helped to generate a wide following of fans around the world. She’s already enjoyed her second number one hit and there look to be many more of these in her future. Although she started off small, she managed to make it big and can now finally see her name in lights. There’s nothing like a live concert featuring one of pop’s most inspiring stars. Get your Katy Perry tickets and settle in for an electrifying show.
