Did Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Split? Pop Star's Flop Album and Poor Tour Sales Blamed

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly on the verge of splitting, with sources blaming poor reviews and low ticket sales from Perry's Lifetimes world tour for straining the relationship. The singer is said to be under mounting pressure, which sources claim has taken a toll on the couple.

According to Page Six, Katy Perry is said to be 'very stressed' over how her new album, titled 143, was received. Released in September, the record was meant to be a vibrant celebration of love, with its title referencing the old pager shorthand for 'I love you'. Yet, critics and fans were lukewarm. An insider told PEOPLE that her frustration over the album's reception heightened her stress levels. Despite her efforts, the reviews were not kind, and she was also disappointed with some of the tour reviews. The tension from these setbacks reportedly caused friction with Bloom.
