Perry captioned the throwback photo with: “13 year old me.

The singer,back when she went by Katy Hudson, would’ve turned 13 in October 1997.

But the real standout of the moment is her blonde bob.

Based on the Facebook pic, we beg to differ.

Perry’s natural shade looks to have beautiful cool ash and blonde tones to it.

But the “Roar” songstress wasn’t here for it.

But no shade has seemingly made as many guest appearances as blonde.

She even shared a behind-the-scenes snap of one of her blonde wigs on Snapchat (perPeople).

Maybe Perry doesn’t dislike her natural hair color as much as she’s insinuated.

In the meantime, fans have voiced their opinions that they love Perry with her long black hair.

Whether or not that’s the singer’s ambition, it’s working.
