Is that you, Katy?! Singer looks oh-so different in new throwback snap
Katy Perry has definitely changed quiet a bit since her guitar-playing, church-loving childhood in California.
But she still loves to take a look back at her awkward teenage years – and admirably she's not afraid to share the memories with her fans either.
Katy was back home for Thanksgiving yesterday, and clearly had some time to root through the family photo album while waiting for her turkey dinner.
"When ur face is desperate for likes," she captioned the above Instagram snap, which shows her posing with her family – all in a matching Christmas palette of red, white and black.
Dressed in a red pinafore, high-necked white blouse and white tights, the young Kate looks nothing like the cupcake-bra-wearing songstress we know today.
Although Katy's big break in 2007 came with her first major single, I Kissed A Girl, her early musical work was decidedly tamer. Indeed, Katy's first album – released six years beforehand in 2001 – was a gospel album under he real name of Katy Hudson.
The 31-year-old left high school aged just 15 to pursue her musical interests, but it took her almost a decade and three different record deals before she found success.
And even with an estimated worth of €127million these days – and the title of the highest-paid female celebrity in the world – Katy is still as down to earth as ever.
Nowhere is that more evident than in the family Thanksgiving gifts she brought home for her parents, siblings and grandma yesterday – two bottles of wine, some whiskey and two waist trainers.
Yup, those are some gifts we'd gladly accept.
