Katy Perry Tickets - The Music

In 2001, Perry released a self-titled gospel album that went no where thanks to the record label closing. Perry continued to record, but none of her efforts made it out of the studio. In 2007, Perry signed with Capitol Music Group, adopted the stage name 'Katy Perry', and released her first single, 'Ur So Gay' shortly thereafter. It was not until the 2008 release of her second single, 'I Kissed a Girl' that Perry gained national attention. The single topped international charts, and the release of her album One of the Boys received platinum certification. Interestingly, 'I Kissed a Girl' and her next single 'Hot n Cold' both received multi-platinum certifications. Katy Perry tickets sold quickly. In fact, in 2010, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized Perry as the 'Best Start on the US Digital Chart by a Female Artist'. Perry's second album Teenage Dream was released in 2010, and its first single, 'California Gurls' reached number one on the Billboard Charts.
