Katy Perry Celebrates The 10 Year Anniversary Of 'I Kissed A Girl' With The Best Throwback Video & It's Making Me SUPER Nostalgic

In 2008, I heard the song “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry for the first time. I was in fourth grade, playing on a Slip N’ Slide in my backyard when my friend (one year older) and I heard it on the radio. “Do you know what that’s called?” she asked me in a whisper. “Lesbians.”

Last year, I saw her perform the song at one of her insanely theatrical concerts during her Witness tour. The fans were still as excited to hear it years later as we were around the time of its release.

This week marks the ten-year anniversary of “I Kissed a Girl,” and to celebrate, Katy posted a throwback video on Twitter. The video features Katy documenting the first time she heard the song play on a Texas radio station, as well as footage of her performing the song in concert every year since it came out.

Fans on Twitter were eager to indulge in Katy’s throwback, posting pictures chronicling Katy’s evolution through the years.

Since Katy first sang about “the taste of her cherry Chapstick,” visibility in the LGBT community has changed a lot. She told Rolling Stone that if she wrote the song today, "I probably would make an edit on it. Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What's true for you can evolve."

As the song celebrates 10 years, let's bop to this classic again.
