Katy Perry Takes an Obvious Dig at Two Exes During a Live Performance

When performing in Spain on June 18, Katy Perry shaded two of her exes while on stage. It happened during a performance of "Never Really Over," her pop hit from 2020, at the O Son do Camiño music festival.

During the performance, she was dancing in front of a giant iPhone as fake calls appeared on the screen. At the same time, she sang the lyrics, "Thought we kissed goodbye, thought we meant this time was the last, but I guess it's never really over."

When JM appeared on screen along with a guitar emoji, referencing her ex John Mayer, she wouldn't answer the call. She declined another that came in from OB with a spade emoji to represent her ex-fiancé and the father of her daughter, Daisy Dove, Orlando Bloom.

Finally, JPJT appeared on screen to represent her current partner, Justin Pierre James Trudeau, with a Canadian flag emoji. This time, she pressed the green button to answer the call.

Fans captured the moment on video. Although some people on Reddit thought that the performance was "hilarious," others weren't thrilled with the move. One person said, "What a weird thing to perform. How many people thought this was a good idea? Seems more like she's still obsessed with all of them."

When Perry and Bloom initially broke up, their reps told E! News, "Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that 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."

Perry has been publicly dating Trudeau since 2025. When speaking about him with E! Newsearlier this month, she said, "I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that because I'm a little bit like a rainbow kite. I fly super high and like, you know, touch the veil, cosmos, and sometimes I need to be anchored. So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now."
