This lavishly illustrated volume is as colourful 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[registered] 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.
