Katy Perry has produced a huge amount of hits throughout her music career, and while she may be a pop superstar, Perry is never afraid to be vulnerable. The singer has experienced heartbreak and expressed her feelings through her music, but this is how she’s learned to deal with the negative feelings in a more introspective way.
In a 2020 interview with "Q on CBC," Perry told host Tom Power that her breakup from actor Orlando Bloom in 2017 took its toll on her' even though her career went through incredible success that year, she felt her world was falling apart. However, she didn't let herself wallow in sadness and did her best to make a comeback.
Perry says that the feeling of "brokenness" that comes with heartbreak is a necessary hardship that she needed to face, saying, "It was so important for me to be broken so that I could find my wholeness". Indeed, her career continued to be successful after her 2017 breakup, and she and Bloom eventually got back together and are now married.
