During her concert in Inglewood, California, on July 15, Katy Perry seemed to refer to her recent separation from Orlando Bloom. While granting a fan’s request, she sang Not Like the Movies, a tune she initially composed following her initial divorce. The pop star subtly hinted at her current emotional condition before performing the ballad.
Perry posed the question to the audience, as reported by PEOPLE: “Are you going to make me perform this song at this point in my life?” To which they replied affirmatively. So, she agreed, saying, “Alright, let’s do it! Since you’ve chosen it.
She provided background to the audience-chosen song selection by stating, “I gave you the choice of the song tonight as I usually select an album for each country I visit, and for the U.S., I chose Teenage Dream because America, you can still be a teenage dream. You need to pull yourself together. I’ll always have that sentiment for you.
Katy Perry’s candid moment on stage
Before performing Not Like the Movies, Perry reminisced about its background. “This upcoming song was penned during my twenties…following my initial divorce,” she disclosed, alluding to her breakup with Russell Brand in 2012. Later, she added humorously, “I’ll make an effort to keep my emotions in check while singing it, just a week before my monthly cycle.”
In a playful manner, her words seemed to suggest that the show was somewhat connected to her private life. Although Perry didn’t explicitly refer to Orlando Bloom, viewers interpreted her remarks and song selection as a veiled allusion to their recent split.
Here’s what we know about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s split
In June, it was reported by US Weekly that after almost a decade together, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom had called off their engagement. A source shared with US Weekly that while they’ve parted ways, there is no animosity between them currently. Katy, understandably, feels disappointed but finds comfort in avoiding another divorce, which she recalls as the most difficult period in her life.
The pair started dating in 2016, experienced a short separation in 2017, and rekindled their romance in 2018. Bloom proposed in the year 2019. Perry subsequently revealed that during their initial breakup, they weren’t fully committed. “We weren’t truly invested from the beginning,” she stated on the Call Her Daddy podcast in September 2024. “He was, in a sense, because he had just completed a period of abstinence…I was still fresh out of my previous relationship.
Regardless of their split, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been diligently sharing parental responsibilities for their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. A second source speaking with US Weekly confirms that they maintain frequent communication and prioritize co-parenting. This source reveals that Orlando even took Daisy to visit Katy during her tour before attending the wedding of Jeff and Lauren Bezos.
