Katy Perry is feeling the love following her split from Orlando Bloom.

The “Roar” singer, 40, got emotional on stage during Monday’s Adelaide, Australia, stop on her Lifetimes tour, less than a week after her breakup from the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 48, was confirmed.

Perry was captured holding back tears in a video shared on social media as she introduced her final song. “Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world. Now let’s sing ‘Firework!’”

Perry and Bloom, who first met at an afterparty for the 2016 Golden Globes, dated on and off until getting engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019. In 2020, the “Teenage Dream” singer announced that she and her fiancรฉe were expecting their first child together, and later that year, she gave birth to their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.

On June 26, Perry and Bloom were confirmed to have split as the Lord of the Rings actor flew to Venice, Italy, to attend Lauren Sรกnchez and Jeff Bezosโ€™ wedding by himself.

โ€œKaty and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years,โ€ one source told PEOPLE at the time. โ€œ[They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they donโ€™t communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level.โ€

The couple had been โ€œliving on an island of stressโ€ before their breakup, which led to things being โ€œrockyโ€ between the two. โ€œSometimes love isnโ€™t enough to keep two people with different styles and outlooks on how things are done [together],โ€ another insider said. โ€œIt can overshadow the love.โ€

Neither Perry nor Bloom has publicly confirmed their split, although the Carnival Row actor took to Instagram Wednesday with a repost of a series of quotes attributed to Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology.

โ€œLoneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,โ€ one of the quotes read, with another he shared to his Story, reading, โ€œEven a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.โ€
