Katy Perry, 40, was photographed looking somber at Sydney’s Luna Park with her daughter Daisy, 4, while fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48, attended the Tribeca Festival in New York City. The couple’s separate appearances follow reports of tension linked to the lukewarm reception of Perry’s latest album, 143.

A Day Out in Sydney
Perry wore a quirky brown bear onesie with gray-and-orange sneakers and a Balenciaga crossbody bag, shielding her face with sunglasses and a cap. Daisy mirrored her mother’s outfit but added a fuzzy coat. Despite the playful attire, Perry appeared subdued, contrasting with Bloom’s cheerful NYC outing. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor posed playfully with their teacup poodle, Mighty, joking that the dog—not him—was “trending.”

Album Backlash and Relationship Strain
Sources told People that Perry’s stress over 143—her seventh studio album, criticized as “AI-generated” and “flat”—has caused friction. “Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,” an insider shared. The album, released in September 2024, marks her first in four years but faced harsh reviews and underwhelming sales. Tour setbacks, including delayed shows and low ticket sales, added pressure.

Recent Controversies
Perry’s career challenges include backlash from her brief Blue Origin spaceflight in April, where she was mocked for theatrically clutching a daisy (a nod to her daughter) and calling herself “super connected to love.” Her Lifetimes Tour also drew accusations of copying Taylor Swift and Beyoncé’s styles. During a Las Vegas show, she staged a confrontation with a fan, humorously accusing him of messaging Bloom—a scripted bit before her song I’m His, He’s Mine.

Relationship Timeline
The couple began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017, and reunited in 2018. They welcomed Daisy in 2020 and got engaged in 2019. Bloom also shares son Flynn, 13, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

Looking Ahead
Despite setbacks, Perry continues her tour, set to hit the U.S. in July. Addressing Chicago fans, she quipped, “I thought I was the most hated person on the internet. I think that’s false,” showcasing her trademark humor amid criticism.
