While Katy Perry‘s romance troubles with former fiancé Orlando Bloom were rumored for months, the 40-year-old pop star might have been openly weeping about their demise while she was on tour. 

A newly resurfaced video on X from her Mexico City tour dates in late April shows an emotional moment while singing her 2010 single, “Pearl.” (You can see the video clip here.) One look at her anguished face as she sang the lyric, “I let him rule my world,” and fans just knew she was going through something. They may not have known it was directly related to Bloom, but the pain resonated throughout the arena. 

She continued with the song, “But I woke up and grew strong, and I can still go on and no one can take my pearl.” 

That foreshadowing moment on The Lifetimes Tour may have hinted that there was trouble on the horizon between the couple. Their relationship appeared to be rocked by her Blue Origin space flight on April 14. Even though Bloom was in attendance to support Perry with their four-year-old daughter Daisy, he reportedly didn’t approve of her short jaunt to space. 

“He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. Imagine going to space… and your partner isn’t impressed. Of course, she was hurt.”

The Mexico City tour dates began only nine days after the Blue Origin trip, so it seems that her emotions were running high. Despite rumors of a possible reconciliation, it looks like Perry and Bloom are done for now. He attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding aloneon June 27 while Perry is enjoying tour dates in Australia.

TMZwas the first to report their split on June 24 and Peopleconfirmed that the former dynamic duo went their separate ways on June 26. Their love story began in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty and continued in an on-again, off-again fashion for years until their Valentine’s Day engagement in 2019. 

Perry gushed about her relationship with Bloom in September 2024 during an interview on Apple Music with Zane Lowe.

“He’s a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There’s two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego,” Perry said. “When the ego is running the show, then it’s like, ‘Whoa.’ But when that’s in check, then we’re both something else.”
