Katy Perry Opens Up About Christian Upbringing
- 7 years ago
Before she found fame as a singer, Katy Perry was a completely different person.
The pop star appears on the May issue of Vogue magazine and she opened up about her religious upbringing and evangelical Christian parents.
Perry told the magazine, “The schools were really makeshift. Education was not the first priority. My education started in my 20s, and there is so much to learn still.”
The 32-year-old pop star was born Katheryn Hudson and said that her parents carefully sheltered her.
Katy explains, “I wasn’t allowed to interact with gay people. Amy Grant was our Madonna. We knew about Madonna and Marilyn Manson because we picketed their concerts.”
Katy has come a long way since those days but she says she still feels the impact years later.
“My house was church on Sunday morning, church on Sunday night, church on Wednesday evening; you don’t celebrate Halloween, Jesus gives you your Christmas presents” she said. “That was my whole childhood and youth and early teens. I still have conditioned layers dropping off of me by the day.”
