Katy Perry Banned Her GOP Parents from Obama Inaug.

Katy Perry, who graces the January 2014 issue of Marie Claire, told the magazine she has a great relationship with her GOP, evangelical parents and that they are “cool” with her lifestyle.

But Perry isn’t so “cool” with their lifestyle. 

“My parents are Republicans, and I’m not,” the singer reveals. “They didn’t vote for Obama, but when I was asked to sing at the inauguration, they were like, ‘We can come.’ And I was like, ‘No, you can’t.’ They understood, but I was like, ‘How dare you?’ in a way.” 

Perry went on to explain:

“People don’t understand that I have a great relationship with my parents — like, how that can exist?”

Indeed.
