Katy Perry’s life right now? Definitely not a party, and nowhere near as fun as one of her music videos. According to a report by PEOPLE, things are kinda falling apart behind the scenes, not just with her music career, but also in her relationship with Orlando Bloom.
Katy released a new album called 143 in September 2024. Now, you’d think it would blow up like her old hits, you know, chart-toppers like “Roar” or “Firework,” but this one didn’t land the way she hoped. It only reached number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 (which is pretty low for someone like her), number 47 in the UK, and number 65 globally. And apparently, that really upset her.
A source told PEOPLE that Katy was deeply frustrated and honestly quite angry with how things turned out. Imagine working on something for months (or years), pouring your heart into it, and then barely getting any love back, that’s the kind of emotional mess she’s in right now.
But that’s not all. She’s also on her Lifetimes World Tour, and sadly, even that’s not going well. Ticket sales haven’t been great, and the crowd feedback? Not the best either. Critics haven’t been kind, and it seems like even some fans were disappointed. Katy, naturally, took that hard too. The source said she was “disappointed in the tour reviews,” which makes sense, right? That’s her art. Her passion.
And here’s where things get even more personal. All this stress, from the album, the tour, the criticism, has started to affect her relationship with Orlando Bloom. He’s been trying to help and calm her down, but it hasn’t been easy. The same insider says there’s been some real tension between them. “It’s put stress on their relationship,” they said, meaning the pressure Katy’s feeling isn’t just staying in her work life, it’s spilling into her home, too.
Just to give you a quick refresher, Katy and Orlando started dating back in January 2016. They broke up in 2017, but got back together in 2018, and by Valentine’s Day 2019, they were engaged. The couple announced their first pregnancy in 2020 and had their baby girl, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August of that year. So yeah, they’ve had a sweet journey together, but now, it seems like all the outside chaos is shaking things up between them.
Katy is overwhelmed, her career stuff isn’t going as planned, and it’s starting to mess with her personal life too. And that’s tough, no matter how famous you are.
