Katy Perry showed a very emotional moment on stage while wrapping up the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour. Before performing her hit “Firework,” she paused to thank her Australian fans for their support, wiping away tears as she expressed her gratitude. A fan video of the moment quickly went viral on social media.
This emotional moment came shortly after reports confirmed that Perry and Orlando Bloom have ended their nearly 10-year relationship. Although neither has publicly detailed the split, Bloom stirred speculation by posting a cryptic Instagram story about a “new beginning” and taking a “first step” with courage.
The couple first met in 2016, got engaged in 2019, and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020. Despite sharing many sweet moments over the years, recent signs hinted at trouble. While Perry toured Australia, Bloom made headlines partying solo at the wedding of Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos.
Katy has not directly addressed the breakup but shared hopeful and positive content on Instagram recently, showing her trying to stay upbeat. Fans praised her professionalism and strength, admiring how she stayed composed on tour despite personal challenges. Some fans expressed frustration for her having to go through breakups during important career moments.
