Katy Perry appeared to subtly reference her recent breakup with Orlando Bloom during an emotionally charged moment on stage in Inglewood, California, on July 15. The pop star, known for blending vulnerability with humor, was performing as part of her current tour when a fan request led her to sing Not Like the Movies<\/em>, a deeply personal ballad she originally penned after her first divorce. Before beginning the performance, Perry looked out at the crowd and remarked, \u201cYou\u2019re gonna make me sing this song in this time in my life?\u201d adding, \u201cOK, we\u2019ll do it! Because you voted for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry then gave a bit more context to the song\u2019s selection. She explained that for each country she visits on tour, she assigns a particular album to reflect that country\u2019s spirit. For the U.S., she chose Teenage Dream<\/em>, calling it a symbol of youthful magic. \u201cYou could be a teenage dream baby. You better get it together. I\u2019ll always have that feeling for you,\u201d she told the audience.<\/p>\n

Before diving into the song, the 39-year-old reflected on its origin, stating, \u201cThis next song I wrote in my 20s\u2026after my first divorce.\u201d She lightened the mood with a dose of her signature wit, joking, \u201cI\u2019ll try and hold my composure while I sing it a week before my period.\u201d Though she never explicitly named Bloom, the emotional weight of the moment\u2014combined with the timing and song choice\u2014led fans to believe she was processing their recent split in real time, with music as her outlet.<\/p>\n

Perry\u2019s performance came shortly after reports confirmed the end of her long relationship with actor Orlando Bloom. According to US Weekly<\/em>, the two quietly called off their engagement in June after nearly ten years of being in each other\u2019s lives. A source noted that while the breakup was sad, it was mutual and not contentious. \u201cKaty is, of course, upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce,\u201d the source shared, referencing her past split from Russell Brand in 2012.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s journey together began in 2016, and although they broke up briefly in 2017, they reconciled in 2018, leading to a proposal in 2019. Perry opened up about their rocky beginnings during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy<\/em> podcast in 2024, revealing they had very different mindsets when they first met. \u201cWe weren\u2019t really in it from day one,\u201d she said, noting that Bloom had just completed a period of celibacy while she was freshly out of another relationship.<\/p>\n

Despite going their separate ways romantically, Perry and Bloom remain committed to co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Sources say they\u2019re in regular contact and focused on their daughter\u2019s wellbeing. In fact, Bloom recently brought Daisy to see Perry on tour before he made an appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

Though she didn\u2019t say much outright, Perry\u2019s Inglewood performance reminded fans that behind the pop star persona is a woman navigating heartbreak, parenting, and personal growth\u2014all with resilience and a little humor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
