Katy Perry was minding her own business and doing her thing on American Idol last night, when her ex John Mayer just happened to be brought up. And her reaction? To quite literally fall out of her chair. Basically, contestant Noah Thompson clearly had no idea Katy and John had history and thought she’d chosen John’s song “Heartbreak Warfare” for him to sing. In response, Katy said, “I feel like maybe you should Wikipedia me....I can’t talk anymore. I’m triggered!”

She then slid out of her chair while everyone laughed, and said, “Who is going to pay for my extra hour of therapy?” (Note: She also called John a “great artist” with a “great song,” so no hard feelings!)

Reminder: Katy and John dated back in 2012 and were on again off again until about 2015. John told the New York Times in 2017 that his song “Still Feel Like Your Man” was about Katy, saying, “Who else would I be thinking about? And by the way, it’s a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years. That was my only relationship. So it’s, like, give me this, people.”

He also told Andy Cohen last November, “I texted Katy happy birthday. It was 4 in the morning. It was like a post-midnight, haven’t-gone-to-sleep-yet, it’s-technically-your-birthday send. Because how weird is it to be like, ‘I want to say happy birthday now, but I’m going to wait until tomorrow afternoon? Be a person, man!”
