Katy Perry shrugs off Orlando Bloom’s viral photo as she dazzles on stage in Barcelona for …
Katy Perry appeared completely unfazed by her ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom’s latest viral photo as she stormed the stage in Barcelona on Sunday night, proving that the show must go on.
The 41-year-old pop superstar took command of the Palau Sant Jordi arena as part of her Lifetimes Tour, dazzling fans in a futuristic metallic catsuit while performing her biggest hits, including Firework and Roar. Joined by a troupe of energetic dancers, Perry oozed confidence and flair, showing no sign of distraction despite the growing media frenzy around Bloom’s Halloween antics.
Just days earlier, a photo emerged of Orlando Bloom posing closely with actress Rachel Lynn Matthews, who dressed up as Perry for Halloween complete with a blue catsuit and black wig to mimic the singer’s Blue Origin space flight look. Matthews, known for her role in Happy Death Day, even recreated Perry’s viral post-flight moment by kissing the ground and captioning it “Take up space!”
The image quickly spread online, sparking backlash against Bloom, with fans calling the moment “disrespectful” toward his ex. One Reddit user wrote, “This is so tasteless, especially for someone he co-parents with.” Bloom and Perry share a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, and ended their nine-year relationship in June.
While the photo dominated headlines, Perry remained focused on her global tour — which has already sold 1.1 million tickets and grossed over $80 million, according to figures obtained by Billboard. The production features an elaborate “save the world” theme, complete with butterfly imagery representing different eras of her career.
Perry’s latest single Bandaids also appears to allude to her high-profile breakup. In the emotional music video, the singer is seen surviving near-fatal accidents before spotting a daisy, a symbolic nod to her daughter.
Since the split, Perry has been romantically linked to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 53, though both have remained tight-lipped about their relationship.
