The internet has enabled much of the world to both consume and share at an incredible rate, sometimes completely overwhelming the websites we use. And when it comes to hilarious, scandalous, and downright ridiculous celebrity news, people’s fingers move at a superhuman speed.
The term “breaking the internet” is used when something goes beyond viral, consuming every outlet and platform, almost instantly cementing the person or trend in history.
So many famous figures were in attendance at the historic coronation ceremony of King Charles, and yet none seemed to make such a splash as Katy Perry. From her sizeable hat, to her tripping and nearly falling on the sidewalk, she built quite a lead-up to her performance the next day, but she truly went viral after a video showed her looking positively lost in Westminster Abbey. The video showed her walking in circles trying to find her seat and quickly became meme-ified online, drawing comparisons to things like how it feels looking for your Uber after a night out. Perry herself hilariously responded to the video on May 6 and tweeted, "don't worry guys i found my seat."
