Katy Perry takes swipe at her famous exes while on stage in Spain
Katy Perry is certainly not worried about the one that got away, taking a not-so-subtle swipe at her exes while performing in Spain.
The singer, 41, made the humorous jabs at her famous exes Diplo and John Mayer, and ex-fiance Orlando Bloom, while performing her 2020 single Never Really Over alongside a giant iPhone prop at the O Son do Camiño festival.

The song is about revisiting a relationship with an ex, but Perry made clear that is not her current situation.
In footage captured by fans, the phone flashes during Perry’s performance as if she was receiving calls from the trio, but she did not answer.
She declined Diplo’s call and let “JM” (John Mayer) and “OB” (Orlando Bloom) go to voicemail.

If there was any doubt about who the initials were pointed towards, a guitar emoji all but confirmed JM meant Mayer and a spade emoji next to OB referenced an ace of spades tattoo on Bloom’s chest.
Finally, she used the performance as an opportunity to show some love to her boyfriend of almost a year, former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
When the phone flashed up a call from “JPJT” – Trudeau’s full name is Justin Pierre James Trudeau – alongside a Canadian flag emoji, Perry repeatedly hit the green answer button.
The humorous jabs come days after Perry revealed she is releasing a new song, Watch It Burn, on June 25.
Based on teasers, it does not seem set to be as light-hearted.

In an interview with co-writer Justin Tranter on Unfamous the Podcast, Perry said the song was her finally allowing herself to be angry.
“I have not given myself permission to be angry my whole life over things that I should be f---ing angry about,” she said.
“What I’ve done is I pushed it down, but I should be f---ing angry. I’m allowed to be angry for a f---ing moment.”

While Perry is now happy with Trudeau, whom she has been dating since July 2025, she has been open about having a tough start to that same year following her break-up with Bloom.
They dated for nine years and were engaged for six. They also share five-year-old daughter Daisy.
Perry dated Mayer from 2012 to 2014, rekindling their relationship in 2015 before officially calling it quits soon after.
She was briefly linked to Diplo following their split.
