You better get it together. I'll always have that feeling for you.'

She listed everyone who would be in attendance for the show in her native Los Angeles, and missing from the special guests was the 48-year-old actor.

Perry's caption to her 203 million followers began, 'HOMETOWN SHOW AT THE FORUM TONIGHT‼️'

Showing her sense of humor, she then added, 'Ecstatic to play a show for ALL the Angelenos including my best friends, my business partners, mom, dad, my ear nose and throat doctor, my dog groomer, my MDMA therapist, my acupuncturist, my manicurist, the teacher from the yoga class I went to in 2015, the uber eats guy that that delivered my brisket breakfast burrito this morning from Dialog Cafe and all the friends that are friends with someone that knows Tamra.'

While Orlando wasn't present for the performance, his ex-wife Miranda Kerr was in attendance.

Perry and Bloom confirmed their breakup this month, after swirling speculation about their relationship status.

The pair began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019, before welcoming their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. Bloom is also dad to 14-year-old son Flynn, whom he shares with Kerr.

Representatives for the pair told DailyMail.com that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.'

The split was optically cemented when Orlando attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded Venice wedding alone.

A source told Us Weekly in late June: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' while adding that the separation has not been 'contentious.'

'Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life,' it was noted.

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker was previously married to Russell Brand.

They were wed from 2010 until their very public and ugly divorce in 2012.

The Us Weekly source added that Katy and Orlando's breakup had been 'a long time coming' and that their relationship had been 'tense for months.'
