About this listen
In the last several days, Katy Perry has been making headlines both on stage and in her personal life. The most significant recent development has been her much-publicized 11-minute trip to space aboard a Blue Origin flight as part of an all-female crew, joined by Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King. The mission was intended to be an empowering milestone, with Perry singing “What a Wonderful World” in zero gravity, floating a daisy to honor her daughter, and kissing the ground after landing. However, the flight has sparked ongoing tension with her fiancé Orlando Bloom, who reportedly found the entire spectacle “cringeworthy” and “embarrassing,” according to sources close to the couple quoted by the Daily Mail. This reaction deeply impacted Perry, especially in the wake of lukewarm critical and commercial reception to her newest album, 143, and her currently underperforming Lifetimes world tour.
The tension between Perry and Bloom appears to be escalating. While Perry continues the Australian leg of her tour—with electrifying performances including a massive audience at the Toyota AFL Grand Final—Bloom is preparing to attend the upcoming multi-day Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, the very people behind Perry’s Blue Origin space mission. Notably, Perry will not attend due to prior tour commitments, but insiders suggest her absence represents a deeper personal rift, as she reportedly considers Bezos and Sánchez to be her friends, not Bloom’s. Sources claim this has added a new layer to their ongoing struggles, with the space flight and wedding entangling their private and public lives.
On the social media front, Perry has been actively promoting her tour, including celebrating a newly added date in Adelaide after fan demand. Her Instagram remains lively with behind-the-scenes moments and updates for fans, though the mood has been tempered by viral memes mocking her space trip gestures, song choice, and especially the daisy tribute. Social media users lampooned her reluctance to perform “Roar” in space, labeling some moments as overly performative or awkward.
Further stoking online chatter, Perry was again the unwitting subject of viral AI-generated Met Gala photos, misleading fans into thinking she attended the event. Perry addressed the confusion with humor, sharing the fake images on Instagram and joking about the incident, which drew supportive comments from Bloom—despite their current issues.
As Perry pushes through the international tour circuit with stops across Australia and upcoming North American dates, the combination of her ambitious public milestones, career turbulence, and relationship drama may mark a turning point with lasting biographical significance. For now, Perry’s life remains firmly in the public gaze, her triumphs and turmoil equally viral fodder for fans and critics alike.
