The Katy Perry Family Tree

The Katy Perry Family Katy Perry with Husband Russell Brand, and parents Keith and Mary Hudson

As one of Barbara Walter's 2011 most fascinating people, the Katy Perry family is very entertaining from rocking out in stadiums to spreading the prophetic gospel message in mega churches around the world. Born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson to Keith and Mary Hudson, the famous pop star was reinvented by Capitol records and took her mother's maiden name of Perry. Katy her her siblings (Angela and David) grew up with reformed hippie parents who turned into evangelists to support their family in the 1980s. Katy Perry learns how to be flamboyant from her parents, while they enjoy the notoriety in order to fill seats with eager patrons of their unique Gospel message.

Ironically, her parents speak ill of their famous daughter's career and choice of marriage during their speeches, but fully take advantage of the public relations bonanza that Katy's career brings to the Keith Hudson Ministries.
