You could say it all started in April 2008 when Madonna announced on a radio show that her favorite song is Perry's "Ur So Gay". “It was definitely just a small comment from her point of view. But it was a hell of a huge one in my world," Perry recalled. "It was like a cruise ship leaving the dock and that was the champagne christening." Shortly after being eulogized by the Queen of Pop, Perry released her debut single "I Kissed A Girl" - a provocative ode to the beauty of women, which ran up and down the radio in the summer of 2008 and went straight to #1 on the charts shot up. The CD sold over 6 million copies worldwide. She is currently being showered with international awards.
