As she performed Resilient, the singer visibly broke down, turning away from the mic to cover her tears before regaining composure and finishing to a standing ovation. Though the footage is not newly recorded, its recent resurgence has taken on new resonance. Fans across X (formerly Twitter) are linking the emotional scene to her recently confirmed breakup with fiancé Orlando Bloom after nearly a decade together
One fan commented, “The breakup rumour has been around for weeks so this video now says a lot,” encapsulating public sentiment .

Further stoking speculation, recent photos from June 26 at Jeff Bezos’s lavish pre-wedding event in Venice show Orlando Bloom sharing affectionate air kisses with Kim Kardashian, while Katy Perry was noticeably absent. The images intensified breakup rumors and became emblematic of a relationship in distress.
Keen observers interpreted Bloom’s solo attendance and warm exchanges with Kardashian—who is Perry’s friend—as a sign of a relationship pivoting irreversibly
