“She’s the first. She’s the prototype.” said Perry.

The artist even referred to her as the ‘prototype’ of her, considering Slade’s mother would be older than the singer. Her co-hosts, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, were also surprised at the resemblance that they asked if the woman was Perry’s sister, or related to her in some way.

They even took pictures together, and indeed, the two look like they would be related in some way. Celebrity doppelgängers seem to surprise everyone to date, even though it is one of the biggest parts of Hollywood.
