Katy Puts Childhood Trauma Behind Her

Over the weekend, Katy Perry got the rare opportunity for a do-over, and was able to overcome some childhood trauma in the process.

As documented on her Instagram story, Katy visited the Medieval Times restaurant in Dallas, Texas, over the weekend. She explained that she wanted to go to the eatery, which famously features a show of knights jousting on real horses while patrons eat dinner, to right a wrong that occurred when she was a small girl.

“One of my more embarrassing stories I have from childhood that traumatized me is that when I was very young, I went to Medieval Times,” she explained. “And the guy came over to me and he had a ribbon at the end of his [lance].”

Katy said she wasn’t aware that she was supposed to take the ribbon off. Instead, she said, “I took my dirty napkin that I had been putting all the chicken grease on, and put it on top of the [lance] and everyone in the whole arena laughed at me.” “I think I was maybe, like, six or seven,” Katy added. “And now I’m 33, and I’m gonna do it right this time!”
