Katy Perry breaks down in tears during first performance since breakup with 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.

Kanye West, aka Ye, denied entry to Australia after releasing antisemitic track 'Heil Hitler'; authorities cancel visa
Rapper , who is also known as Ye, has been officially denied entry into Australia following the release of his latest track, 'Heil Hitler', a report in The Guardian mentions. The song contains antisemitic lyrics and Nazi references, confirmed Immigration Minister Tony Burke. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The song, which was released on May 8—notably coinciding with Victory in Europe Day, a date commemorating the end of in Europe—sparked instant backlash globally. The track includes audio samples from a 1935 Nazi speech and lines that allegedly praise Adolf Hitler, prompting swift action from Australian authorities. Reason for Cancelled Visa According to Burke, Ye's visitor visa was revoked following an internal review by the Department of Home Affairs. The decision was made under character grounds defined by Australia's Migration Act, which allows for denial of entry to individuals whose public behavior or statements are considered offensive, harmful, or a threat to social cohesion. 'Australia does not welcome hate speech, no matter how famous the person is,' Burke stated, adding that Australia has previously blocked entry for individuals with Islamophobic or antisemitic records. 'This country doesn't import hatred.' Though Ye had entered Australia in the past on lower-level visas, this latest cancellation sends a clear message that celebrity status offers no protection when it comes to promoting hate-fueled rhetoric. Political and Public Reactions The move has received widespread support from both sides of the political aisle. Education Minister Jason Clare called Ye's lyrics and past interviews—where he has openly praised Hitler—'deeply disturbing' and incompatible with Australian values. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Executive Council of Australian Jewry welcomed the decision, describing Ye's rhetoric as 'immeasurably harmful,' especially given his global influence. Ye Remains Silent So far, Ye has not issued a statement regarding the visa cancellation. Australian immigration officials have confirmed that any future visa applications by the rapper will be assessed under the same strict criteria, with character checks taking center stage.
