Less than a decade ago she was a student there and yesterday Katy Perry went back to her roots to play a tribute concert at her old high school.
As the bell rang for the end of the day, Dos Pueblos students rushed to their school’s Greek Theater where they were greeted by Miss Perry and her guitar.
The outdoor stage was not like an ordinary school concert though, Katy’s platform was complete with drum risers, smoke machines and faux lollipop stage sets.
As well as giving something back to Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, California, Russell Brand’s fiancé was also promoting her new material from her new album.
She opened her set in the school’s cheerleading uniform but had one of her famous mini dresses underneath which she stripped down to and sang Hot N’Cold.
Katy then broke into I Kissed A Girl in front of the entire student body of 2,000 students.
In case the students were confused as to why the international pop star showed up to perform, she said: ‘Maybe you don’t know, but I went to high school here.
‘I was on this very stage many a lunchtimes. I was such a showoff. There was a pumpkin pie-eating contest, which I won, and a freestyling contest that I lost.
‘That was one of the saddest days of my life.’
She also gave inspiration the youngsters who might feel that school is a struggle, she said: ‘High school can be tough, but you know what? You’re stronger than that.’
Then it was back to the hits and she continued her set with Waking Up In Vegas, followed by Teenage Dream.
Yr So Gay got the students standing up cheering before she told another story about how her heart had been broken by a former school boy from Dos Pueblos.
The singer has had more luck with love since leaving school though and is set to marry Brand later this year.
