Katy Perry breaks down in tears during first performance since breakup with Orlando Bloom. Watch
The Cry About It Later singer teared up onstage while wrapping the tour in Australia on Monday. Before singing Firework, the Grammy nominee, 40, looked emotional as she made a heart gesture with her hands. Several videos of the moment have surfaced on social media. The performance was at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
In the video, Katy is seen holding up a hand heart gesture before tearfully expressing her gratitude to fans. 'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia,' she says into the microphone.
'It means the world,' Katy added before belting out her hit track, Firework.
Her performance comes days after the news of her split with Orlando, 48, emerged on social media. Their split was confirmed by PEOPLE on June 26. The pair previously got engaged in 2019 and share 4½-year-old daughter Daisy Dove.
The break-up was confirmed just days before the actor attended Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sánchez alone in Venice last month.
As Katy performed in Australia on Monday, Orlando took to his Instagram Stories to repost some inspiring quotes following their breakup. "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most," he reposted from @taomeditiation, a saying attributed to Gautama Buddha.
The actor also shared a slide with text that read, '... The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next," a quote from Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda. Fans support Katy
The singer's fans praised her for 'pushing through even in the hard times', referencing her recent breakup from Orlando.
One noted that Katy split from her ex-husband, Russell Brand, while touring in 2011, writing, 'F**k her (partners) who keep breaking up with her in the middle of tour'.
'If I had a nickel every time Katy Perry went through a breakup during a tour I'd have two nickels, which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice,' another added.
The pop star was married to Russell Brand, 50, for one year before they called it quits. She moved on with Orlando in 2016. The on-again, off-again couple got engaged in 2019 after a brief breakup. In August 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy.

Orlando Bloom Opens Up About ‘Loneliness' After Katy Perry Split
Last Updated: Ever since the breakup, the actor has continued to share cryptic posts on his Instagram Stories. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called it quits after years of being together. Ever since the breakup, the Lord of the Rings actor has continued to share cryptic posts on his Instagram Stories, offering insight into how he has been feeling. In a new update, Orlando posted yet another such inspirational quote on his social media. He reshared a post which featured some reflections of the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung. One of which read: 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate what seem important to oneself." Another quote said, 'We are not what happened to us, we are what we choose to become." Previously, the 48-year-old actor had taken to his account to share a quote on 'new beginnings." The post, originally shared by @taomeditations, quoted Gautam Buddha's teachings, which said, 'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most." While Orlando has continued to express his feelings through such inspirational and thoughtful quotes, Katy, on the other hand, has maintained her silence on the split. However, she has leaned on her fans for emotional support. Recently, during her final performance on the Australian leg of her ongoing Lifetimes Tour, the 40-year-old singer could not hold back her tears. In fan-made videos from the show, Katy appeared to be fighting back tears while on stage during the last show in Adelaide, Australia. At one point, with tears in her eyes, she raised her arms above her head and made a heart with her hands. Before singing the last song of her setlist, Firework, she expressed her gratitude to her fans, saying, 'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world. Now let's sing 'Firework!'" FYI, Katy and Orlando decided to go their separate ways after nine years of relationship. They first crossed paths in 2016 and made their relationship Instagram official in May of the same year. In 2017, they had split briefly only to rekindle their love in 2018. The pair got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020. And after six years of engagement, their separation was confirmed right before Orlando attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice, Italy, alone. On Thursday, July 3, reps of the former couple shared a joint statement, saying, 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect." First Published:

Pop star Katy Perry, actor Orlando Bloom split 6 years after getting engaged
New York, Jul 4 (AP) Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday. Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect'. The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'. In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got UNICEF to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children. Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child. Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream'. The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad'. Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in 'The Lord of the Rings' and "The Hobbit" films as well as Will Turner in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series.
