Who knew Katy Perry had the flexibility of a gymnast or professional ballerina?

Friend and journalist Derek Blasberg recognized Katy’s 34th birthday on Thursday by posting a throwback picture on Instagram of Katy sitting next to beau Orlando Bloom with her right leg elevated straight up in the air.

‘I know @katyperry’s birthday was yesterday,’ Blasberg wrote in the caption. ‘But it took me a full 24 hours to dig up the perfect image to sum up her understated charm and charisma. (And flexibility and table manners.) Love you, KP! Hope this is your best year yet.’

In the undated pH๏τo, the superstar singer can be seen seated at an outdoor table with a smiling Orlando to her left, who appears to be distracted with his cell phone.

And keeping up with her trademark spontaneous humor and charm, Katy has a look of casual confidence as she lifted her right arm to the top of her elevated leg.

At this point there’s no telling when and where the pH๏τo was taken.

Fellow superstar Dolly Parton also wished happy birthday to Katy, only her’s was delivered in a sweet and touching video that Katy posted on her Instagram page.

‘Hello Katy Perry I’m on an airplane as you can see, I’m heading to Los Angeles,’ the 72-year old star said.

‘I just wanted to tell you I know you’re having a birthday and I wish I could be there to  kind of celebrate with you,’ and then she proceeded to break out into the Happy Birthday song.

She ended it with a nod to her smash hit song I Will Always Love You: ‘… happy birthday dear Katy and I will always love you.’

An appreciative Katy responded by captioning the video with: ‘best. prezzy. ever. I will always love you too.’

The Firework singer celebrated her big day with a night out with Orlando in West Hollywood, where they were seen out to dinner at the upscale Barton G. They also took in a show at The Wiltern theater where Years & Years, CYN and Jess Kent were all performing.
