Katy Perry had an emotional moment on stage at her final Lifetimes Tour show in Australia, which comes just days after news broke that she and partner Orlando Bloom had split after nine years together.
In a clip captured from her Monday (June 30) performance at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, the singer holds up a hand heart 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,” Perry adds before launching into “Firework.”
The musician’s last show in Adelaide marks the end of a month-long run of shows in Australia, during which Perry also traveled through Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Days before the leg’s end, People reported Thursday (June 26) that she and Bloom had called it quits after nearly a decade together, a relationship that saw the couple getting engaged in 2019 and welcoming daughter Daisy in 2020.
Rumors that Perry and Bloom were headed for a split had circulated for weeks beforehand, but one moment at a Lifetimes show in late May seemed to indicate at the time that the two stars were still together. While joking with a fan in her Nevada crowd, the musician quipped, “If you keep DMing my man, I’m going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life — I’m his wife.”
Soon, Perry will bring her Lifetimes trek closer to home with a North American leg starting July 10 in Denver. Following additional legs in Europe, Latin America and Asia, the trek will conclude Dec. 7 in the United Arab Emirates.
