With 108 wins and 351 nominations at major award shows, Katy Perry's horizon stretches far beyond most musicians of this generation.

Katy Perry has been nominated 13 times at the Grammys. However, the songstress has yet to win the coveted award, unlike other industry juggernauts like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Rihanna, etc.
