Katy Perry showed off her long-range reflexes on Sunday when she faced off against her udges in a pickleball match.
The “I Kissed a Girl” star made an effort to demonstrate that Santa Barbara, her birthplace, was the best at every challenge.
But Katy wasn’t about to take them on solo, and had the help of her lookalike mom, Mary Hudson, who strut onto the court looking ready for battle.
Dressed in a small, black lycra golf clothing and large sunglasses, Mary was introduced as her sister’s doubles lover and they put on an impressive display.
Katy even wowed in a figure-hugging green gown and continued to put the people through their paces.
“She’s 75 and she’s smacking your mouth,” Katy remarked about her mother before they won the game and walked away with the prize revealing they’d “spanked” their criticism.
Lionel and Luke “fit in” perfectly with what Katy recently said during her home visit.
” The best part of bringing Hero to Santa Barbara was being able to communicate my roots”, she explained.
“From seeing my musical teacher, the sweetest wonder, when we did auditions at the Music Academy of the West, to busting at farmers markets for avocados and fruit on the harp that my family companion Patricia Bragg brilliant me,” said one student.
Mary delighted in the match too as Katy confessed: “It’s so funny because my mom’s been trying to get the family to play pickleball with her for years, and we always resisted, but we gave in a few years ago, and now it’s our Sunday afternoon family activity,”
She added: “I, which Mom competed in for my foundation, Firework Foundation.”
Katy adores Santa Barbara and chose to raise her daughter, Daisy, there with her partner, Orlando Bloom.
They have an incredible $15 million Montecito mansion.
In 1984, Katy was born in Santa Barbara to her parents Maurice Keith Hudson and their mother, both of whom have spent more than 40 years as evangelistic and Pentecostal ministers.
Katy has been open about finding common ground with her parents despite the fact that she has been open about the differences between her values today and those of her ultra-conservative parents.
During a 2017 appearance on the she similarly said: “They don’t agree with some of the things I do and they do wish that I could do other things”, though she maintained: “My parents are great, and I love them so much”, and even added: “I cry sometimes thinking about how much I love them”.
