Katy Perry was momentarily stunned during an interview on the British talk show Lorraine when host Ross King playfully joked about his past encounter with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. For a brief moment, it seemed like Perry might be hearing some eyebrow-raising news about her partner. But don’t worry—there was no scandal involved, just a lighthearted moment that the pop star quickly turned into a laugh.
The 62-year-old King started the conversation with a quirky confession that left Perry’s eyes wide for a second. “Before we start, I feel like I have a confession. I actually slept with your fiancé Orlando,” King said, pausing for comedic effect. “On a plane coming back from New York,” he added with a grin.
Perry, who was clearly taken aback at first, replied, “I love the dot, dot, dot about that.” The moment of confusion was quickly followed by a quick explanation from King: “He was behind me, and he tapped me on the shoulder, so there we are.” Perry, relieved to learn there was no juicy story to worry about, responded with a sigh of relief. “Okay, good. Phew,” she laughed, “Context is really key these days. So little context about everything.”
It was a moment that had the audience laughing, with Perry’s quick wit and playful demeanor shining through. But the interview didn’t stop there. Perry went on to discuss other aspects of her life, from her skincare routine to her fitness habits, and of course, her world tour.
In a more serious moment, Perry revealed the secret behind her glowing looks at age 40. When asked how she stays so youthful, the “Roar” singer quipped, “Lots of doctors and Botox,” before turning to a more genuine answer. “My partner, Orlando, is a really good influence when it comes to diet. He eats so well, and he works out all the time—almost to the point where it’s annoying,” she joked, referring to Orlando’s strict fitness regimen.
The pop star then shared a bit about her own approach to staying in shape. “I love swimming,” she said. “I’m a pretty good swimmer. I swim a really long pool at a club I belong to at home, and I do the turns in the water. I wear the cap and the goggles.” Perry explained that swimming is not just a workout but also a form of relaxation for her. “It’s very meditative, so I love that,” she added, showing her affinity for activities that are both physical and calming. “I also like dancing. I like anything that’s a veiled workout,” she laughed.
As she continues to promote her new album 143, Perry also shared how much she loves traveling and performing for her global fanbase. Now embarking on her Lifetimes Tour, Perry opened up about the joy she finds in connecting with audiences worldwide. “I’m happy to discover the world,” she said. “I’m happy to meet the people, I’m happy to be partaking in the culture. I’m very curious about everything and why. Maybe should’ve studied anthropology,” she laughed.
For Perry, touring is much more than just performing—it’s a chance to explore different cultures and meet new people. “When I tour it’s actually just a big trip around the world to connect with all kinds of different people,” she shared. “I love being on stage, of course, and there’s something really unifying about being on stage. It’s one of the places these days where you find connectivity.”
Perry’s latest tour promises to be a journey filled with music, discovery, and new connections, and she can’t wait to share her experiences with the fans she’s gathered all over the globe.
