Like many of us, Katy Perry knows awkward family photos are the best. The more unnatural the poses, the better!
The 31-year-old pop star posted on her Instagram page on Thanksgiving, also Throwback Thursday, a festive photo of herself as a young teen posing for a picture with her parents, Evangelical pastors Keith Hudson and Mary Hudson, brother David Hudson and sister Angela Hudson and the family dog, which appears to be a Chow Chow mix.
The singer, who was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson in Santa Barbara, California, is dressed in a bright red pinafore dress with a crisp, long sleeve white shirt, while her mom and brother sport red sweatshirts and her sister wears one in maroon.
Everyone is standing around her dad, who is seated on a stool, wearing a black, white and gray-printed button-down sweater over a white shirt and bolo tie, paired with dark pants.
Young Katy Perry is so darn cute and angelic, with her short, brown hair swept back and secured with a hairband.
"When ur face is desperate for likes," she wrote.
