Katy Perry has subtly revealed insights into her breakup with Orlando Bloom, ending nearly ten years together. The couple started dating in 2016 after Bloom's rise as a prominent actor in The Lord of the Rings. They briefly separated in 2017 but reunited, welcoming their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.
Rumors surfaced earlier this year about their split after being engaged since 2019. Their representatives confirmed in July they had been “shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.”
Since the breakup, Katy Perry has been linked with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Meanwhile, she released a new single titled Bandaids on Friday, which touches on heartbreak and the end of a relationship.
“Hand to God, I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned.
It’s not what you did / It’s what you didn’t / You were there, but you weren’t.
Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now.
Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t / Band-Aids over a broken heart.”
The second verse further suggests she made efforts to save the relationship, emphasizing the emotional toll it took on her.
Katy Perry's new song conveys raw emotions behind her breakup with Orlando Bloom, reflecting on unmet expectations and the struggle to move forward.
