After nearly a decade together, including a 2019 engagement and the birth of their daughter, Daisy, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship seems to be facing significant challenges.
Reports suggest that their romance has been “breaking down” recently, with some sources bluntly stating that they are “pretty much done.” According to People, the couple is dealing with two major factors contributing to their relationship struggles: Perry’s latest album, 143, and her ongoing Lifetimes world tour.
The Strain of Touring and Different Priorities
As Perry embarks on her globe-trotting Lifetimes tour, a source revealed that the couple has grown apart due to their different priorities. Perry is reportedly focused on her comeback and giving fans the best possible show, with her daughter, Daisy Dove, joining her on the road for sightseeing and family fun. Bloom, on the other hand, is said to be living alone, which reflects the widening gap between them.
“This comeback means a lot to her. She wants to give fans the best show,” the insider shared. “She’s happy and just focused on her tour.”
Despite the strain on their relationship, Perry continues to pour her energy into her work, while Bloom seems to be taking a step back. It’s clear that the pressures of Perry’s global tour and her focus on album promotion have taken a toll on their time together.
The Backlash of Public Scrutiny
Perry’s life and career have also been under public scrutiny in recent months. She faced backlash following her space flight on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket, which caused quite a stir online. While some defended the space adventure, others criticized her involvement in what was seen by many as an elitist and out-of-touch stunt.
Additionally, her Lifetimes tour has not been without its controversies. Social media users have been quick to point out issues with Perry’s vocals and dance moves during performances. In one viral TikTok video, Perry appeared to be out of breath while performing her track “I’m His, He’s Mine”, leading fans to question her energy and vocal delivery.
One viewer wrote on TikTok, “What’s going on vocally here?” while another commented, “It’s like she’s doing a low-energy dress rehearsal walk-through.” Some even compared Perry’s performance to Taylor Swift’s meticulous rehearsals, with one user joking, “Did she leave her talent in space?”
While there were sympathetic comments, like one that read, “I feel sorry for her. This is such a public embarrassment right after last week’s space flight embarrassment,” it’s clear that Perry’s tour and the attention surrounding her performance have added to the pressure she’s facing in both her career and personal life.
