Katy Perry breaks down in tears during first performance after breakup from Orlando Bloom. Watch
The Cry About It Later singer teared up onstage while wrapping the tour in Australia on Monday. Before singing Firework, the Grammy nominee, 40, looked emotional as she made a heart gesture with her hands. Several videos of the moment have surfaced on social media. The performance was at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
In the video, Katy is seen holding up a hand heart gesture before tearfully expressing her gratitude to fans. 'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia,' she says into the microphone.
'It means the world,' Katy added before belting out her hit track, Firework.
Her performance comes days after the news of her split with Orlando, 48, emerged on social media. Their split was confirmed by PEOPLE on June 26. The pair previously got engaged in 2019 and share 4½-year-old daughter Daisy Dove.
The break-up was confirmed just days before the actor attended Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sánchez alone in Venice last month.
As Katy performed in Australia on Monday, Orlando took to his Instagram Stories to repost some inspiring quotes following their breakup. "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most," he reposted from @taomeditiation, a saying attributed to Gautama Buddha.
The actor also shared a slide with text that read, '... The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next," a quote from Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda. Fans support Katy
The singer's fans praised her for 'pushing through even in the hard times', referencing her recent breakup from Orlando.
One noted that Katy split from her ex-husband, Russell Brand, while touring in 2011, writing, 'F**k her (partners) who keep breaking up with her in the middle of tour'.
'If I had a nickel every time Katy Perry went through a breakup during a tour I'd have two nickels, which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice,' another added.
The pop star was married to Russell Brand, 50, for one year before they called it quits. She moved on with Orlando in 2016. The on-again, off-again couple got engaged in 2019 after a brief breakup. In August 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy.

The 50-year-old shared an adorable wedding picture on her Instagram where she and McPhee are seen lovingly looking at each other. She wore a custom ivory gown by designer Josephine Scott for the ceremony and later changed into a second dress by Justin Alexander. Take a look Mel B married her hairstylist yesterday?? GENIUS. — Nicole Nichelle (@alamanecer) July 5, 2025 "Mel was a dream to work with, bringing her own sense of style to the occasion," Caroline Black, the owner of Evelie Bridal Boutiques in London, who helped the musician pick out her wedding attire, told PEOPLE. According to the publication, the ceremony, the celebration continued with a grand reception at the Shangri-La Hotel inside The Shard, the tallest building in the U.K. Celebrities including Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Cara Delevingne, Katherine Ryan, and Daisy Lowe were among the guests.

The wedding came just weeks after Mel B enjoyed a bachelorette party by the sea, joined by 36 of her close friends. The group, all in leopard-print swimsuits, danced together to Beyonce's "End of Time."

Priyanka Chopra reveals her adorable Sunday tradition with Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie: ‘It's mandatory'
Actor Priyanka Chopra often shares adorable moments from her family holidays with husband, Nick Jonas, and their daughter Malti Marie on social media. Now, in an interview with People, she has opened up about a weekly family tradition they never skip — and it's all things cute. Priyanka Chopra talked about her mandatory weekly tradition with Nick Jonas and Malti Marie. Priyanka Chopra talks about her weekly tradition Priyanka revealed that "Sunday morning snuggles in bed have to happen", as she spoke about the ritual and said, 'It's mandatory. Being home with my family… The biggest luxury in our lives is being able to waste time together or spend time together and just be languid in it and not worry about having to go somewhere. That one hour you might get when it's quiet in the house and you get to watch Love Island's new season with a glass of wine or maybe even a book [when] I am supposed to be reading my scripts.' She also shared that when she and her husband, along with any guests, are finishing a late-night movie, she quietly raids the fridge for snacks. 'I am that person… a big snacker. I want to make sure I get the snack scavenging in while everyone's distracted with the movie, because you can't do it after. If you do it after, there's too much attention on you: 'What are you eating?' And then everybody wants to eat, and it becomes a meal, and then I'm heating up food. You've got to sneak out during a really important part of the movie. So that's what I do.' Priyanka Chopra's recent and upcoming films Priyanka is earning praise for her performance in the action-comedy film Heads of State, which also stars John Cena and Idris Elba. The film is currently streaming on Prime Video. She will soon be making her comeback to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's SSMB 29.

Who is Jo Yu-ri, Squid Game's player 222? Net worth, educational qualification, and more
When Jo Yu-ri first appeared on television, it wasn't in a drama or a film. It was on a talent survival show. She was young, maybe a bit unsure, but her voice carried something clear. Now, years later, she's appeared in one of the most globally talked-about dramas: Squid Game, and her performance has left people stunned. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jo played Player 222, a pregnant woman named Kim Jun-hee. In the deadly world of the show, her character felt fragile at first. But as the story unfolded, she became one of the strongest presences on screen. There wasn't anything loud or over-the-top about the role; it was quiet, emotional, and incredibly human. A different kind of fame Born in Busan in 2001, Jo didn't grow up on film sets. She came from the competitive world of K-pop. In 2018, she was chosen to debut in IZ*ONE after placing third on the show Produce 48. That group became huge almost overnight. Concerts, albums, fan meets it was all a blur. But in 2021, IZ*ONE ended, and the members went their own ways. Some idols disappear after that kind of group disbandment. Jo didn't. She released her first solo song, Glassy, not long after. It was a bright, hopeful track, a contrast to what she'd go on to do in Squid Game. Acting with no formal training One thing that surprised people: Jo isn't a trained actor. She didn't go to a film school. She wasn't in musicals or student plays. Her experience was mostly music videos, stage shows, and reality content. So when fans saw her in such an emotionally heavy role, they were taken aback in a good way. In an interview with People, Jo said she cried for a long time after filming her final scene. It had taken a toll on her. That moment in the show, when her character gives up her life to save her newborn, isn't easy to forget. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Viewers around the world said it was one of the most devastating scenes in the entire series. What she earns, and what's next? Jo Yu-ri hasn't publicly shared what she earns, and there's no official number. Still, given her years in IZ*ONE, her solo work, and her recent drama success, many believe she's earned somewhere around $1–3 million. That includes music sales, digital streams, endorsements, and now, acting contracts. She's also signed to various brand deals in fashion and beauty. Her image is clean, warm, and quietly confident, making her a natural fit for that world. This year, she's expected to release another solo album called Episode 25. From what's been hinted at in interviews, the tone may be deeper, maybe even a little darker. Understandably so, after a project like Squid Game. She didn't just show up in Squid Game; she left an impact. The kind that gets people to ask, 'Who is she?' and then go looking for her past work. Jo Yu-ri might've started out as a singer. But now, she's something more.
