Katy Perry struggles performing break-up song after Orlando Bloom split: ‘Try not to cry’

“Gonna make me?”: Katy Perry struggled during an emotional moment in her show in the wake of her split from Orlando Bloom.

She’ll cry about it later.

Katy Perry attempted to keep her “composure” while performing a break-up ballad during her Inglewood, California, concert Tuesday.

The Grammy nominee, 40, usually lets her fans choose a song for her to sing each concert. However, this time, she questioned those who voted for her to sing Not Like the Movies at the Kia Forum, according to People.

“You’re gonna make me sing this song in this time in my life?” she asked, referencing her and ex-fiance Orlando Bloom’s recent split.

Perry said, “OK, we’ll do it! Because you voted for it. … I’m gonna try not to cry. Don’t worry. I won’t cry.”

The singer told her fans that the 2010 release dated back to her “first divorce” from ex-husband Russell Brand, per Page Six.

The former couple ended their marriage in 2011 after just one year.

Perry told fans, who also voted for her to perform The One That Got Away, that she would “try and hold [her] composure while sing[ing] it a week before [her] period.”

Earlier this month, news broke of the songwriter and Bloom, 48, calling it quits while she was on her still-running Lifetimes tour.

However, their relationship was long done as Page Six reported in June that the duo was “over.”

Perry and the Lord of the Rings star have been together on and off since 2016 and share a 4-year-old daughter named Daisy.

They called the little one their main “focus” while confirming their break-up via their reps earlier this month.

“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 joint statement read.

Perry and Bloom have since shown off their amicable co-parenting dynamic, going on vacation together in Italy last week.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star even included a cozy family photo in a recent Instagram dump, which also included his and ex-wife Miranda Kerr‘s 14-year-old son, Flynn.
