coronation of King Charles III on Saturday — turning heads well before she takes the stage at Sunday’s coronation concert.The 38-year-old singer — who donned a lavender Vivienne Westwood suit set with a matching large hat — arrived at Westminster Abbey and walked through the pews trying to find her seat for the high-profile event, which also drew British actresses Emma Thompson, Judi Dench, and Maggie Smith.At one point, she even appeared to ask someone for assistance.A video of the moment went viral on Twitter, amusing fans.“This is a new reaction vid if I’ve ever seen one,” one person wrote.“Even Katy Perry gets lost sometimes, but she always finds her way to the top,” another noted.“She can’t find it because her hat is in the way.

Poor Katy,” someone quipped.Perry herself even got in on the joke.“Don’t worry guys I found my seat,” she tweeted after the service.The chaos didn’t end there.The “Teenage Dream” songstress nearly fell while leaving the ceremony in the rain.Katy Perry spotted looking for her seat at the #Coronation of King Charles III.

But she garnered backlash for taking a picture of herself on Westminster Abbey’s memorial to Winston Churchill.While it’s not forbidden to walk on a memorial or take a picture or a selfie, it’s seen as inappropriate.Hopefully she can put a “Smile” on for the show.“I am excited to be performing at the coronation concert and helping to shine a further light on the British Asian Trust’s Children’s Protection Fund, whose work includes on-ground initiatives to fundraising, with the aim to find solutions.
