Katy Perry is defending her territory. In a viral moment from her recent show in Nevada, the pop star hilariously called out a fan in the crowd for messaging her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom — with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Daisy — on social media.
As captured in a video posted on X Sunday (May 18) by the KatyCat in question, Perry spots him in the audience and squats down to get closer to his level. “I know why you’re here,” she tells the fan, whose name is Kyle. “Listen, if you keep DMing my man …”
“You’ve been doing it for months, ever since the residency,” she continued, her eyes sparkling even as her tone remained serious. “If you keep DMing my man, I’m going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life — I’m his wife.”
As she then transitioned into her 143 single “I’m His, He’s Mine” — sans collaborator Doechii — Perry added as she walked away, “He don’t want you, Kyle!”
In the moment, Kyle looked bewildered that the musician had singled him out, smiling with his mouth open in shock. Later, on X, he shared a screenshot of what he’d sent to Bloom to warrant the talking-to: “Hey babes, can you pls tell Katy to sing Ghost?”
The “Firework” singer and Pirates of the Caribbean actor have been engaged since 2018. They welcomed Daisy in August 2020.
The Nevada show comes about one month into Perry’s Lifetimes Tour, which kicked off in April in Mexico City. After upcoming performances in Austin and Dallas, Texas, she’ll head overseas for a run of dates in Australia.
Her run-in with Kyle was just the latest viral moment to emerge from the trek, which follows a period of public scrutiny for the former American Idol judge due to her highly criticized trip to space on Blue Origin’s first all-women flight in April, as well as her controversial choice to work with Dr. Luke on single “Woman’s World” before that. But on stage in Chicago on May 12, Perry laughed off the scrutiny in a viral video.
“Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet,” she quipped in the clip as her crowd applauded. “I think that’s false!”
