Katy Perry wept openly onstage in Mexico City, in resurfaced fan footage that was filmed just weeks before her split from Orlando Bloom went public.
A blizzard of rumors swirled this Wednesday that Katy and Orlando have gone their separate ways after a nine-year romance that produced their daughter Daisy, four.
Seemingly confirming the conjecture, Orlando then went to Venice alone to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Italian wedding celebration.
While he mingles with the Kardashians, goes boating with Tom Brady and gets a pep talk from Oprah Winfrey, Katy is in Australia for her Lifetimes Tour.
But an unearthed clip from the beginning of the tour this April, Katy was seen already apparently battling with some private anguish onstage.
The 40-year-old sang through her tears as she delivered a rendition of her 2010 song Pearl, which is about leaving a troubled relationship.

At one point she took the microphone away from her face and emotionally screamed out the lyric: ‘I let him rule my world!’
The California born pop act then gathered herself for the next lines: ‘But I woke up and grew strong, and I can still go on and no one can take my pearl.’
Her Lifetimes Tour began with the Mexico City shows in April, for which she was roundly derided over her ‘mom moves.’
In backstage footage she posted to Instagram from the Mexican capital, she explained that she had been ‘struggling for the past few things with my voice, having a flu-cold thing’ and also mentioned the city’s famously high altitude.
In the wake of this week’s breakup reports, Orlando, 48, was spotted Thursday in what appeared to be a deep and heartfelt conversation with none other than Oprah on the eve of Jeff and Lauren’s wedding in Venice.
Bloom leaned in intently, hands clasped behind his back, as the queen of self-help placed her hands on his shoulders — seemingly offering him a private dose of wisdom and encouragement amid his split from Katy.
While the star-studded crowd partied around them, Bloom and Oprah looked like they were in a world of their own, locked in a moment that felt more life-coach than cocktail hour.

At one point, Oprah even held Orlando’s face in her hands, clearly giving him her full attention as they shared a surprisingly tender moment.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry for comment.
The pep talk came just before Bloom was seen hugging his celebrity stylist friend in the back of a Venetian water taxi.
Meanwhile, Perry is halfway across the world in Australia, putting on a brave face as she continues her tour with four-year-old daughter Daisy in tow.
The pop star shared snippets of her trip on Instagram, including a playful video posing with an adorable quokka — the country’s famously photogenic marsupial.
In a touching moment, she also posted a rare photo of her and Orlando’s daughter, giving fans a sweet glimpse into their mother-daughter adventure Down Under.
Later at the billionaire bash, Bloom ditched his outfit for a tank top and shorts, showing off his sculpted physique — perhaps sending a subtle message to his ex about what she’s missing.
On Friday, DailyMail.com revealed the stylist Orlando was spotted in an embrace in the back of a Venetian water taxi is his ex-fiancée Katy’s stylist Jamie Mizrahi, 36, who is also close to Meghan Markle.

Jamie, who lives in Montecito, California with her husband Nico, is friends with Meghan Markle and has had a long-term working relationship with Meghan’s neighbor Perry as well as Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence, Britney Spears and a host of other stars.
The mother-of-two, nicknamed ‘sweet Jamie’ by friends, is also responsible for Adele’s show-stopping wardrobe on stage and is describe by industry insiders as the ‘go-to stylist for every Hollywood A-Lister’.
The news came as Perry received a sweet message from bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez today, declaring on social media: ‘We miss you Katy’.
Speculation surrounding Bloom and Perry’s relationship was finally put to rest on Thursday, with insiders confirming the longtime couple has gone their separate ways.
The pair first began dating in 2016, endured a brief split, and reunited in 2018.
Bloom popped the question the following year, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020.
Rumors of trouble began swirling earlier this month, with reports hinting at mounting tension behind the scenes.
Sources claimed that the underwhelming response to Perry’s latest album 143, the backlash over her much-mocked Blue Origin spaceflight, and the demands of her current Lifetimes Tour all contributed to strain in the relationship.

Adding fuel to the fire, Perry has recently been spotted without her engagement ring.
As of now, neither Bloom nor Perry has addressed the breakup publicly.
Meanwhile, Sánchez was spotted stepping out of the luxurious Aman hotel on Friday morning, marking her first public appearance of the day before heading to Venice’s San Giorgio Maggiore island—where she’s set to tie the knot with Bezos.
Dubbed the ‘wedding of the century,’ the 55-year-old former broadcaster and the 61-year-old Amazon founder have brought nearly 200 high-profile guests to Venice for a lavish, multi-day celebration.
Although the formal ceremony is set for today, it emerged last night that Bezos and Sánchez have already made things official with a legal marriage ahead of time.
Their pre-wedding festivities, held at the historic Madonna dell’Orto cloisters, were nearly derailed by an unexpected thunderstorm that sent guests—Kylie Jenner among them—scrambling for cover.
Celebrity friends including Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady touched down in Italy earlier this week to witness the couple’s nuptials, which follow Bezos’ 2023 proposal aboard his $500 million yacht.
But the lead-up hasn’t been entirely smooth—planned protests reportedly forced a last-minute change in venue, adding a dose of drama to the already headline-making affair.
