Katy Perry fights back tears while trying to explain what really happened between her and Orlando Bloom on-stage following their split
Katy Perry was seen fighting back tears while on-stage in Australia, as she paid tribute to her fans following her split from Orlando Bloom.
The singer, 40, was visibly emotional in footage from her last show Down Under, after it was revealed last week that she and Orlando had split after nine years together.
Orlando has been embracing his newly-single status with a week of partying across Europe, including a wild weekend at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding, followeed by a night out at a star-studded yacht bash in Rome.
The actor appeared to allude to his split from Katy in a cryptic post to Instagram Stories on Monday.
As Katy took to the stage for the final show of her Australian leg of her Lifetimes world tour, she fought back tears as the show came to a close.
In footage posted on X, Katy made a heart with her fingers, before struggling to hold back tears as she spoke to the crowd at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
‘Thank you Australia for always being there for me,’ she said.
It came just hours after Orlando shared a series of cryptic Instagram posts, sharing a quote from Gautama Buddha to his seven million followers.
The quote that Bloom reposted read: ‘Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.’
Emocionada, Katy Perry agradece o carinho dos fãs e encerra a leg australiana da “The Lifetimes Tour”.

He additionally shared a separate slide which had another quote which was titled ‘Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda.’
It continued, ‘The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.’
Last week, it was revealed that Orlando and Katy officially called it quits after dating for nine years.
At the time, a source told Us Weekly: ‘Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,’ while also adding that the separation has been ‘not contentious’ thus far.
‘Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.’
The Teenage Dream hitmaker – who is currently embarking on her Lifetimes Tour – was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012.
The insider further added that the reported breakup had been ‘a long time coming’ and that their relationship had also been ‘tense for months.’
In the wake of the separation, Bloom whisked himself away to Venice to attend the star-studded nuptials between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez this past weekend.
The actor was spotted mingling with a number of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney.
Orlando was also spotted living single life as he headed to another lavish party on Sunday.
He danced the night away following his recent split from former fiancée Katy Perry as a guest on the swanky superyacht alongside 450 other VIPs including likes of Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum.
Fresh from three days partying at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding extravaganza, Orlando headed on board Ritz-Carlton’s gleaming 794ft Luminara for its inaugural cruise from Rome.
Bloom was also recently spotted cozying up to Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, during a water taxi ride as they headed to the airport following the Amazon founder’s wedding this past weekend.
