100 Katy Perry Innovations

From Sushi Covered Costumes to Nerdy Alter Egos

— October 18, 2011 — Pop Culture
Katy Perry is one of the best selling and most popular female artists in the media. The 'California Girls' singer is part of a new breed of celebrity that takes her stage performances to the next level. Along with acts like Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Kesha, these singers do much more than just stand on stage and sing. Their performances are certainly memorable and almost animated.

The appeal of Katy Perry started with her number one single 'I Kissed a Girl' and has not stopped since. She has dominated award shows and music charts, and it's literally impossible to turn on the radio without hearing one of her infectious songs.

The fashion world has also taken a cue from Katy Perry and it's easy to see her influence on runways all over the world. Her over-accessorized, neon-loving look is a huge hit everywhere.

Take a look through this list of Ms. Perry features and innovations and I guarantee you'll have one of her songs stuck in your head by the end of it.
