Katy Perry opened up about her past breakup with Orlando Bloom, how it affected her mental health, and how she came out the other side.
biggest hits are often referred to as power anthems — they tell stories of joy and hope, and they make us feel good when we listen to them. But those songs have been a product of some of the singer's toughest times.Perry opened up about her past breakup with Orlando Bloom, how it affected her mental health, and how she came out the other side.
"I lost my smile," Perry told host Tom Power."I don't know if my smile was ever fully, like, authentically mine but I was riding on the high of a smile for a long time. Which was the validation, love, and admiration from the outside world, and then that shifted." While Perry couldn't pinpoint exactly what had shifted in her career, she described it as having a"seismic" impact."I had given so much and it literally broke me in half.
Perry doesn't look back on this point in her life through a sad, regretful lens, though — she referred to this period as a time of"necessary brokenness," and said that without it, she wouldn't be where she is today. "Gratitude is probably the thing that saved my life because if I didn't find that I probably would've wallowed in my own sadness and just jumped," thesinger said."I found ways to be grateful, and every morning when I wake up... the very first thing I say out loud is, 'Thank you God for today. I am grateful in every way.'"
