Watch the emotional video of Katy Perry holding back tears on tour after Orlando Bloom split

She’s really had the worst year

2 weeks ago

It’s been a horrific year for Katy Perry, and whilst previously it’s all been quite valid criticism of her and the work and music she’s been putting out into the world – the one thing that seemed really solid was her long term relationship and engagement with Orlando Bloom. Despite the fact that Katy’s professional life was probably at the lowest its ever been – terrible sales and the worst critical reception of any of her albums, and no hit single – she seemed so solid with her fiancé. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom began dating in 2016, and got engaged in 2019. The pair had their first child, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020. And whilst Katy Perry went to space and got even more backlash, and got dragged for her tour – they seemed happy. The world was rocked when the new broke at the end of last month that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom had split – and now this heartbreaking video shows her holding back tears.

It’s a devastating clip from her tour

In the clip which has quickly gone viral on social media, Katy Perry is seen performing during her Lifetimes tour as she hits Australia. This was just after the news about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom having split hit the news cycle, and it’s clear that she’s very visibly upset and holding back tears as she’s filled with gratitude for her fans. It must have been incredibly overwhelming. I cannot imagine having to go out and put on a show whilst dealing with the end of a nine year relationship.
