A brazen fan has leapt to the stage next to the superstar during her Sydney show.

Tensions around Katy Perry’s latest tour are being blamed for a rumoured split between the pop superstar and her movie-star fiancé Orlando Bloom.

Days after the Californian diva had a security scare when an audience member charged the stage at her sold-out The Lifetimes tour Qudos Bank Arena show in Sydney, news has surfaced that the A-list couple’s relationship may be on the rocks.

Ms Perry was left visibly shaken when the fan jumped onto the stage and draped his arm around her as security scrambled to take him down.

Although rattled by the intruder, the singer soldiered on and continued to belt out her popular 2008 hit “Hot N Cold.”

“There’s never going to be another show like this, so just enjoy it, Sydney,” she said.

“What the hell is going on?” Ms Perry announced to the crowd as security dragged the man from the stage.

The current 15-show tour of Australia and the lukewarm reception for her new album “143” have reportedly added to rising stress levels between Perry and her husband, according to People — as the singer continues her stay in the Harbour City.

“It’s over,” one source told Page Six. “They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.”

“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”

After previous relationship counselling, the pop star spoke out in 2024 about their issues and patches where they have needed a break from each other.

“Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It’s like, ‘La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let’s move on.’”

She also mentioned the impact that their domestic blow-ups had on their four-year-old daughter Daisy.

“We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,” Ms Perry said.

“He’s a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There’s two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it’s like, ‘Whoa.’ But when that‘s in check, then we’re both something else.’”

Mr Bloom, who is in New York for the Tribeca Film Festival, has spoken previously about the challenging moments in their partnership.

“Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won’t lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity.”
