Katheryn Hudson, known as Katy Perry is an American singer best known for her hit songs ‘I kissed a girl’ and ‘Hot’n'cold’. She has stated on Portuguese Radio she is Part Portuguese on her Mother’s side.
Katy Perry’s maternal grandfather’s brother was director Frank Perry. Frank Perry’s father was Portuguese and his (Frank’s) maternal grandfather’s brother was Charles M Schwab, a German-American steel magnate. So this makes Katy 1/8th Portuguese and at least 1/16h German.

That’s true. Her maternal grandfather’s brother was director Frank Perry.
