About this listen

Katy Perry BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Katy Perry is right in the thick of headlines this week as both her career and personal life collide with viral moments and major news. According to PEOPLE magazine, Perry and Orlando Bloom have split, with the report suggesting this is probably the only official confirmation we will get on the matter right now. The timing overlaps with Perry’s ongoing global comeback: her highly anticipated Lifetimes World Tour is underway, thrilling fans at multiple sold-out arenas across Australia with back-to-back shows in Melbourne and Brisbane, and she is scheduled to perform at Perth’s RAC Arena and Adelaide Entertainment Centre later this month, as listed on her official website and Ticketek Australia. Perry’s team recently announced the first major North American leg of her Lifetimes Tour in support of her album 143, with shows kicking off in Houston on May 7, rolling through Chicago, Las Vegas, and LA, then wrapping at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on July 21, before she heads to Canada, South America, and Europe, with Paris as the final stop on November 5, as reported by Bob 93.3 and Ticketmaster.

On the social media and pop culture front, Perry’s name exploded online due to a new wave of hyper-realistic AI-generated images that falsely depicted her at the 2025 Met Gala in a show-stopping black latex and pinstripe ensemble. AllAboutAI.com and GovTech.com detail how thousands of users and even some media outlets were fooled for a second year in a row before Perry herself responded on social platforms, confirming she had not attended and warning followers about the rise of AI deepfakes. Her witty and candid reply only intensified buzz about the blurred lines between celebrity presence and digital fiction.

There’s no confirmed information regarding new business ventures or endorsements this week, but the biographical significance of the news is clear: Perry’s continued global tour reaffirms her status as a defining pop act, and her personal life changes, now public, may shape her image as she embarks on this new era. The AI Met Gala fiasco underscores Perry’s relevance at the intersection of tech and celebrity, while also highlighting the challenges stars face in an age of viral misinformation. For now, the headlines focus on her stellar performances and the recent end of her high-profile relationship, both of which are set to define Katy Perry’s narrative in 2025.
