Katy Perry seemingly had a little fun with her love life while performing at Spain’s O Son do Camino music festival. During a performance of her hit song “Never Really Over,” the singer used a giant prop cellphone as part of the show’s visuals, with several familiar names appearing as incoming callers.
Fan-captured footage showed Perry declining calls from “OB,” widely believed to be ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, as well as “JM” and “Diplo,” references many fans interpreted as John Mayer and Diplo, two of her former romances.
As the calls flashed across the screen, Perry repeatedly sent them to voicemail while singing lyrics from the breakup anthem. The playful moment quickly caught fans’ attention online, especially given the singer’s recent split from Bloom.
Justin Trudeau Gets A Very Different Response
While Perry appeared eager to reject calls from several former flames, one caller received a much warmer welcome.
The final incoming call displayed the initials “JPJT,” an apparent reference to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been romantically linked to the singer in recent months. Unlike the previous callers, Perry repeatedly tapped the accept button as the crowd cheered.
The cheeky on-stage moment comes just days after Perry and Trudeau were photographed enjoying a cozy picnic date in Santa Barbara, where the pair were seen kissing and embracing. Their romance reportedly began earlier this year following Perry’s highly publicized breakup from Bloom.
Perry Says Love Has ‘Transformed’ Her
The concert stunt also comes on the heels of Perry’s recent comments about finding happiness again following her split from Orlando Bloom.
Speaking on the “Unfamous” podcast, the pop star admitted that a new relationship has brought significant changes to her life. “I have love in my life now. That’s transformed me,” Perry said. “You think when The Beatles say, ‘All you need is love,’ it’s a cliché? Clichés are clichés for a reason.”
The singer went on to compare the feeling to becoming a parent, explaining that some experiences are impossible to fully understand until they happen.
Katy Perry Reflects On Painful Split From Orlando Bloom
Although Perry appears to have moved forward, she acknowledged that ending her relationship with Bloom was far from easy. “I don’t typically feel like a victim. You can hear it in my songs [that] I don’t resonate with that, but last year was pretty tough,” she said.
Rather than dwelling on the heartbreak, Perry said she chose to confront the difficult emotions head-on. “It would have been easy for me to fall into that weird victim triangle. So, instead of falling into ‘woe is me,’ I was just like, ‘Let’s just feel this f pain, let’s feel this anger and let’s move on. Let’s learn from it also. Let’s get some feedback from it.’”
The singer also revealed that the experience helped her reevaluate personal boundaries and self-respect. “You know what it is? It’s really boundaries [of] boundaries within yourself, and then when to boil it even further down, it’s just self-respect. It’s just love for yourself,” Perry explained.
Perry And Bloom Share A Daughter
Perry and Bloom first sparked romance rumors in 2016 before briefly separating in 2017. The couple reunited the following year and became engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019. In August 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, together. Since then, she has brought her daughter with her on tour, something she called an incredible experience.
“It’s always incredible when I get to bring my daughter to work,” she said. “I think when mothers can be their most supported, authentic selves, that is always a good template for children to model. And I’m just glad to model a strong, steady, intelligent, funny, weird woman for my beautiful daughter.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Perry explained that much of her personal growth has been driven by her desire to set a positive example for her daughter. Reflecting on parenthood, the singer said she believes children often learn most from watching how their parents navigate life.
“I think, as mothers and fathers, we’re just modeling something for our children, and all we can hope for is that they will grow up into better versions of ourselves, and themselves,” Perry shared.
