Katy Perry makes subtle dig at exes including Orlando Bloom during show
Katy Perry has seemingly taken another public shot at her former fiancé while performing at a Spanish music festival.
It's certainly been a whirlwind past year for the pop star, as while things might be going well in her new relationship, she's faced her fair share of criticism online.
Earlier this year she was called 'out of touch' on social media after responding to a fan who was going to sell a ticket to see the singer, while Ruby Rose also made some troubling accusations about her online.
Her latest viral moment saw her took aim at not just Orlando Bloom, but also fellow musicians Diplo and John Mayer, who she dated before the actor. I'm sure Mayer is well used to the comments from his ex-girlfriends by now.

While performing her 2020 hit 'Never Really Over'—a pop anthem about revisiting a relationship with an irresistible ex—at the O Son do Camiño music festival, Perry danced in front of a giant mock iPhone where fake contacts referencing those three ex partners appeared on the screen.
She then declined the two staged calls from Diplo and Mayer while she was singing along to her tune, before letting the phone ring out when receiving the call from a certain OB.
Naturally, she might want to pick up the phone in real life if Bloom does ring, given they share a child together, but that hasn't stopped her from being very public with her criticism of her former partner, who said they had nothing but love between them after their split was confirmed.
In a joint statement issued to US media outlets in July 2025, representatives for the couple said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting'.
"They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect."
It wasn't long after their split that Perry would become the new beau of former prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, with a rather random trip to space sandwiched in between.
Despite sharing a daughter, Daisy, with Bloom, it hasn't stopped the 'Roar' singer from making a few digs at the Pirates of the Caribbean actor in recent months.
A new music release last November saw the 41-year-old make some not-so-subtle references to her former partner, as she sang:
“Tried all the medications / Lowered my expectations. Made every justification / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow.
“It’s not that complicated / To ask me how my day is. I’m flatlining trying to save this.”
We mere mortals do seem to love it when the celebrities talk about their personal relationships, so you can't really blame Perry for pulling this off at one of her shows, because the internet probably thinks its iconic.
