Katy Perry’s Bold Outfit Amid Orlando Bloom Tension Rumors

Amid rumors of ‘tension’ in her relationship with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry was noticeably without her engagement ring this past weekend. 

While Katy doesn’t always wear the unmissable, floral-inspired ruby ring Bloom proposed to her with in 2019, it’s absence was intriguing given the fresh scrutiny into her relationship.  

Perry’s ring hand was noticeably bare during a visit to Luna Park in Sydney, Australia on Sunday with her four-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with Bloom. 

Though she wore several gold bands, none were on her actual ring finger.  

The outing came amid a People report claiming Katy’s poorly-performing album 143 has caused ‘tension’ in her relationship with her fiance. 

The singer’s seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024, and received a largely negative response from fans as well as critics, who claimed the record sounds ‘generated through AI.’

‘Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed,’ a source told People on Monday. 

‘Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,’ the insider added.

Another source shared: ‘She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It’s put stress on their relationship.’

Perry and Bloom first met in January 2016. They had a brief breakup in 2017, but later reconciled by March 2018.

The pair got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter in August 2020.

Bloom also has a 13-year-old son named Flynn with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, 42.

143 – which references the expression ‘I love you’, but is also what Perry considers to be her symbolic ‘angel number’ – is her first album in four years, following Smile in 2020.

Much of the criticism even before the album was released was down to Perry’s decision to work with her old music producer Dr. Luke, who ended his long-standing legal battle with Kesha in 2023 after she accused him of rape, which he strenuously denied.

Perry is currently touring the world as part of her Lifetimes Tour.  

It recently has emerged that Katy has not been invited back to continue her Las Vegas residency as her career continues to suffer from the backlash of her Blue Origin space trip and disastrous world tour.

The California Gurls singer has faced an onslaught of criticism over her 11-minute space flight which saw her join Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez for the all-female trip in April.

Shortly after the flight, Perry kicked off her Lifetimes tour in support of her seventh studio album, which was widely panned by critics on its release in September.

The tour has suffered from a series of setbacks – including a delayed start in Minnesota that forced fans to stand around for hours – that have led to low ticket sales and canceled dates.

The former American Idol judge has also been suffering severe backlash ever since her space tourist trip on Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-31 mission.

Perry was seen floating inside the capsule holding a daisy in a nod to her daughter Daisy.

She was ridiculed on landing back to Earth and emerging with the flower in hand which she held to the sky before dropping to her knees and kissing the ground.

She then proceeded to claim she was ‘super connected to love’ and thanked a reporter who incorrectly referred to her as an astronaut.

‘It’s not about singing my songs. It’s about a collective energy in there. It’s about us. It’s about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,’ she said in a post-flight interview.

‘And it’s about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.’

It wasn’t long before she was branded ‘tone deaf’ and ‘dramatic’ for her actions, which came days after NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after being stranded in space for more than nine months.

Her much-maligned Lifetimes Tour has been hit with accusations of copying other pop stars, including Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter.

During her show to a sold-out crowd at Chicago’s United Center on May 12, the singer addressed being the ‘most hated person on the Internet.

In a video captured by a fan, the star takes a moment to look around at her fans, and says: ‘Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet. I think that’s false.’
