CHRIS STAPLETON remembers the time he offended Katy Perry. They were backstage at the Grammys and he made a self-deprecating comment about them being "just musicians." She found that offensive because what they do is important. He apologized, and now admits it changed his way of thinking.
He told the story in a recent interview. Quote, "I had never met her before, and we struck up a conversation waiting our turn for soundcheck backstage.
"I said something self-deprecating, like, 'Ah, well, we're just musicians.' Something to that effect. To which she said, 'Well, that's offensive to me. We're healers and we have an important job.'
"And it was very enlightening in that moment, and I apologized. In no way meant to insult her or musicians in general. But it changed my thinking, quite a bit."
