Katy Perry: I didn’t have a childhood

KATY PERRY says she did not have a childhood with her evangelical minister parents, who allowed her to read only the Bible and even banned terms like “deviled eggs”.

“I didn’t have a childhood,” Perry told Vanity Fair in an interview for its June edition. “I come from a very non-accepting family, but I’m very accepting.

“Sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up,” she said. “Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don’t try to change them anymore, and I don’t think they try to change me. We agree to disagree. They’re excited about [my success].”
