The singer, 40, was performing at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise Valley on Saturday, 17 May, when she stopped mid-way through her set and crouched down to address a concert-goer. "I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency," the singer said. "I'm his, he's mine," Perry said, serving as a segue for her next song "I'm His, He's Mine."

Katy Perry halts her Nevada show to 'accuse' bewildered fan of sending private messages to Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry left one of her fans speechless on Saturday evening as she performed in front of a full-house at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise Valley. The singer is currently eleven dates into her mammoth 84 date Lifetimes world tour, launched following the release of her poorly received and arguably ill-conceived seventh studio album, 143. But she was forced to halt her latest show in Nevada on Saturday evening, specifically to single out one of her bewildered fans. Dressed in a leotard and fishnet tights, Perry crouched on her haunches as she searched for her target in the audience before accusing him of repeatedly sending private messages to her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. Looking down at the stunned fan - referred to as Kyle - she warned: 'I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play.' As the crowd roared their approval, she continued: 'If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed - seriously, get your own life.' Raising her voice, she added: 'He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine... stay the f**k away.' Standing close to the stage, Kyle looked stunned as he turned to his friends while Perry worked her way back into the set-list. Fortunately for him, the outburst was a scripted stunt employed by Perry as a means of interacting with her audience before launching into her 2024 single I'm His, He's Mine. Her latest performance comes after it emerged she 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, 143, 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. In her latest blow, sources revealed that the Teenage Dream hitmaker is not welcome back to Resorts World Las Vegas after the hotel slammed her last residency as a 'disaster' that ended up costing them money. 'The residency was a disaster for Resorts World, a complete failure,' a source told NewsNation's Paula Froelich. Perry kicked off PLAY at the luxury hotel on December 29, 2021, and went on to do short stints throughout 2022 and 2023. Inspired by the looks of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Pee-wee's Playhouse and Pee-wee's Big Adventure, the songstress described the show as 'larger than life' and 'the kookiest, most camp show I've ever put together.' Consisting of a set of 19 songs, including E.T., Dark Horse, California Gurls, Waking Up in Vegas, I Kissed a Girl, Never Really Over, Teenage Dream, Roar and the show-stopping Firework. However, Resorts World allegedly lost money while keeping Perry's extravagant show on. 'There was a bidding war between Resorts World and Caesars … and Caesars technically lost out — but in the end, Caesars won,' the source said. 'Katy was getting paid between $750,000 and $900,000 a show because of the bidding war and the entire run she underperformed and Resorts World lost money.' The former American Idol judge has 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 four-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with her fiancé Orlando Bloom. 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.' Shortly after the flight, Perry kicked off her Lifetimes tour (pictured) which as suffered from a series of setbacks 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.'
