The 41-year-old singer took public jabs at Orlando Bloom, John Mayer and Diplo during a rendition of Never Really Over in which she used a huge fake to reject their incoming calls, as seen in fan footage.
Perry got a call from Diplo, the DJ she dated briefly in 2014 and once rated the third-best lover behind Bloom and Mayer in her Witness World Wide YouTube live stream in 2017.

She merrily hit the decline button as she danced and sang, 'Thought we kissed goodbye / thought we meant this time / Was the last / but I guess it’s never really over.'
She then received calls from JM, an obvious reference to Mayer, and OB, otherwise known as Bloom, both of which she shot to voicemail.
The last call was from JPJT, aka Justin Pierre - with whom she last weekend - and Perry continuously pressed the accept button.

The visual gag comes in the wake of Perry's admission that she feels 'transformed' by the former Canadian prime minister, whom she started dating in July 2025 following her high-profile split from Bloom, the father of her five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
'I have love in my life now. That's transformed me,' Perry said during a recent chat on the Unfamous podcast.

'You think when The Beatles say, "All you need is love," it's a cliche? Cliches are cliches for a reason… it's like you don't know until you have your baby how beautiful that experience is and how it transforms you.'

'It would have been easy for me to fall into that weird victim triangle. So, instead of falling into "woe is me," I was just like, "Let's just feel this f****** pain, let's feel this anger and let's move on. Let's learn from it also. Let's get some feedback from it."'
Stage antics aside, Perry insisted she has now come to terms with her split from Bloom, 49, and has adjusted her own boundaries.

'You know what it is? It's really boundaries [of] boundaries within yourself, and then when to boil it even further down, it's just self-respect. It's just love for yourself,' the chart-topper explained.
'If you don't have boundaries, you may need to look at that… or peel yourself out of it. That's what I've been doing is peeling myself out of all the conditioning.'
Perry and Bloom first became romantically linked in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty.
After a brief split in 2017, they rekindled their relationship the following year and announced their engagement on Valentine's Day in 2019.
The former couple welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020 and remained together for several years before reports emerged in June 2025 that they had separated amicably.
Bloom, best known for playing Legolas in The Lord of the Rings films and Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, also shares son Flynn with his former wife Miranda Kerr.
Perry clearly refuses to be a victim of her heartache and uses it as a vehicle of self-promotion
Since their split, the exes have continued to co-parent their daughter.
Before her relationship with Bloom, Perry was married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 until 2012.
She also had an on-off relationship with musician Mayer between 2012 and 2015.
Last October on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast, Diplo confirmed he and Perry had dated, and went so far as to joke he’d also dated Trudeau.
‘Oh, I did date Trudeau too,’ Diplo cracked. ‘That was a weird one though... because I'm not into politicians.’
