"Today Show" performance boosts career with hits "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold."

On the day of her performance on the "Today Show" in New York City, Katy Perry sang her hits "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold." These performances marked a pivotal moment in her burgeoning career. "I Kissed a Girl," released earlier in the summer, had rapidly ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, activating a widespread cultural conversation and achieving significant commercial success. The pop singer's appearance on the "Today Show" was part of the show's larger effort to feature prominent recording artists, thereby drawing substantial viewer engagement and boosting ratings. The live performance attracted both local fans where it was filmed in Rockefeller Plaza and a national audience tuning in, reflecting Katy Perry's influence and popularity at the time. "I Kissed a Girl" was a major commercial success, selling over five million digital copies in the United States alone and topping the charts in multiple countries. "Hot n Cold," another track from her album "One of the Boys," continued to build on this success, establishing her as a formidable artist in the pop music industry. The "Today Show" performance contributed to her growing reputation, demonstrating the power of television appearances in an artist’s promotional strategy. Such public performances not only increased the artist's visibility but also played a crucial role in enhancing album sales and digital downloads. #KatyPerry #TodayShow #PopMusic #IKissedAGirl #HotnCold #NYC #LivePerformance #MoofLife
