In Australia, Katy Perry ended the Australian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour amidst personal turmoil following her split from Orlando Bloom. The emotional performance unfolded at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre where she connected poignantly with her audience, expressing gratitude for their support. Reports surfaced indicating that the couple, who had been together since 2016, had amicably separated after a period of distancing since her tour began in April 2025. They share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, and had been focusing on co-parenting, according to their joint statement. Their relationship had faced challenges over the years, including a brief split in 2017 before Bloom proposed in 2019.
