Top 10 Katy Perry songs

When fans first heard the words to Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” it not only shocked music listeners but was a larger than life introduction for the soon to be global pop star. From “I Kissed a Girl,” to “Roar,” Perry has gone through a musical and personal transformation, all the while fans have stood by her.

Part of Perry’s transformation was when she fully embraced the ability to be artistic and creative in her music videos. Perry is known for her over-the-top music videos, complete with elaborate costumes, fun sets and of course, multiple hairstyles and wigs. The videos for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” and “California Girls” have reached YouTube milestones with fans because each video is original, imaginative and colorful.

Perry is not all party though, from “Thinking of You,” to “Wide Awake,” she isn’t afraid to have fun with her music but also explore a more emotional and darker side.

She has had another stroke of musical genius with her latest album, PRISM. Following the release of PRISM it was announced that a full worldwide tour for the album would be launched in 2014.
