In a retrospectively bizarre juxtaposition, the then-21-year-old can be seen tucked away behind dreadlocked crooner Sonny Sandoval and bassist Traa Daniels as she follows their lead on the song Goodbye For Now.
Despite the prayer-infused metal clanging on around her, Perry's vocals are undeniable.
Wearing knee high socks with a short dress and some pretty heavy mascara, the Roar hitmaker even gets a good bit of her own camera time as her refrain plays the song out towards the end.
Diehard fans of the singer - whose parents are Pentecostal pastors - will have known she was a backing singer for the group in her early career - she even appears in Goodbye For Now's official music video.
Much like in the Tonight Show performance, she's invisible for most of the song until she unexpectedly pops up at the end, dancing around on the docks with a very male dominated crowd.
Religious music is where Katy got her start: before her 2008 platinum selling album One Of The Boys, which shifted around 5million copies worldwide, there was her 2001 gospel debut album titled Katy Hudson, which sold around 200. (That's 200 flat, not 200million).
