Ah, large public events with hundreds, if not thousands, of invitees.
A logistical nightmare, even it it's a coronation. It can be hard to show up—even if you're also going to be featured later—and figure out what to do, who to see, where to go...
The last one—in the case of singer Katy Perry—was particularly confusing. Unfortunately for her—and fortunately for an internet that loves memes—it was all caught on video.
In a clip that quickly became a meme, Perry was shown looking for her seat with a confused look on her face.

She later took to Twitter to reassure everyone she eventually found her spot.
\u201cdon\u2019t worry guys i found my seat\u201d— KATY PERRY (@KATY PERRY) 1683381862
Perry also posted on Instagram with more formal—and distinctly less-meme-able—pictures from the event.
People found her issue finding her seat relatable.
Memes were born.
\u201c@katyperry I laughed so hard. That was one of the most relatable moments of the coronation.\u201d— KATY PERRY (@KATY PERRY) 1683381862

Some people found other relatable moments this reminded them of.

Folks were worried about her hat.

Some found artistic inspiration.

But alas, all's well that ends well.
\u201c@katyperry I was very worried, but thank God you found it\u201d— KATY PERRY (@KATY PERRY) 1683381862
Perry's musical contribution for the coronation went well, so evidently the seat wasn't too uncomfortable.
