Katy Perry is well know for her imaginative and bizarre outfits, and she didn't disappoint while performing at a rally for US President Barack Obama.

The 'E.T.' singer took to the stage in a quirky latex dress which was designed to look like a ballot paper - with Obama's box filled in and competitor Mitt Romney's box left empty, showing her support for Obama.

Katy wore the dress during the rally, which was the America Forward Grassroots rally in Las Vegas, and she enouraged the American audience to 'vote early' for the upcoming November election.

She reportedly told the crowd: "Let's do this tomorrow. You know I got my poll outfit sorted okay, 'cause when I go to the polls in California it's gonna be on points. It's gonna be red white and blue, for you know who. So you better do it, or I'm going to come and get ya!"

She added: "Honestly, it's such an honour to be here on this stage, I'm so excited to be here on this stage and to hear [Obama] speak."

Obama returned the favour when he later addressed the audience, saying: "I've got to know Katy and she's a wonderful young lady,' Barack Obama told the crowd.

"And I can tell that part of it is because of her outstanding grandma Anne, a 50-year resident of Nevada.

"The only thing I have to say is Anne got some lipstick on me when she kissed me. Fortunately somebody wiped it off before Michelle saw it."
