Overview

  • Perry attended Poof Doof in Melbourne wearing a plain silver band instead of the ruby engagement ring Orlando Bloom presented on Valentine’s Day 2019.
  • During her Lifetimes Tour stop, the singer opened the bar for an hour to thank fans and mark Pride month with complimentary drinks.
  • While performing “I’m Still Breathing” in Sydney, Perry paused to reference a breakup and credited a packet of Tim Tam biscuits for getting her through it.
  • Insiders link tension in the couple’s six-year relationship to negative reviews of Perry’s album 143 and the pressures of her demanding tour schedule.
  • With Perry in Australia and Bloom in New York City for the Tribeca Festival, some sources say the pair may wait until her tour ends before finalizing any split.
