Katy Perry turned a festival stage in Spain into a drama-filled moment, using a staged phone gag to skim through her romantic past and make a pointed joke about one ex in particular. The stunt, which unfolded during a headline set at O Son do Camiño, quickly spread online and reignited interest in her high-profile relationships.
Playful stage moment at O Son do Camiño grabbed headlines
While headlining the O Son do Camiño festival in Santiago de Compostela, Perry staged a visual bit that mixed humor and spectacle. A giant phone prop lit up during her performance of the hit song “Never Really Over.”

The screen displayed incoming calls from several names and initials. Social video shows Perry watching the fake calls scroll by as the crowd reacted.
The audience saw a sequence of past partners’ names, but Perry ignored them all and accepted only one call on stage.
Which exes were teased onstage — and what the initials suggested
The onstage mock calls included a mix of full names and initials. Fans and social users quickly connected the dots.
- Diplo appeared by name on the screen.
- Initials such as “JM” were interpreted as John Mayer.
- “RB” drew associations with Russell Brand.
- “OB” was widely read as Orlando Bloom.
Rather than engaging with those fake alerts, Perry chose to answer a single call labeled “JPJT.” Social commentary and captioning identified that acronym as Justin Pierre James Trudeau.
The staged decision to decline other calls and pick the “JPJT” call became the viral moment.
How fans and media reacted online
Short videos and reactions circulated across platforms within hours. Viewers debated whether the bit was a playful jab or a calculated public-relations moment.
- Some praised the humor and showmanship.
- Others read it as a not-so-subtle message to former partners.
- Commentary focused on the mix of past fame and recent romance.
Regardless of interpretation, the stunt amplified attention on Perry’s personal life and her current relationship status.
Key milestones in Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship
The pop star and the actor first sparked romance rumors in 2016.
- They met at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016.
- The couple dated, paused briefly in 2017, then reunited in 2018.
- They became engaged on Valentine’s Day, 2019.
- Their daughter, Daisy Dove, was born in August 2020.
- Reports in June 2025 said the two parted ways amicably after nearly a decade together.
Even after the split, Perry and Bloom have maintained a parenting partnership. Bloom is also father to 15-year-old Flynn, from his previous marriage to Miranda Kerr.
Perry’s wider dating history and public exes
Over the years, Perry’s love life has included several celebrity relationships that drew media attention.
- Russell Brand — married 2010–2012.
- John Mayer — an on-and-off relationship from 2012 to 2015.
- Diplo — confirmed by the DJ as a past romance last year.
- Orlando Bloom — a long-term partnership that produced a child.
These pairings have often intersected with Perry’s music and public image, making the stage gag at the Spanish festival resonate even more.
New chapter: public appearances with Justin Trudeau
After her split from Bloom, Perry’s private life shifted into a surprising chapter. Rumors linking her to former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau first started in mid-2025.
They went public on social media late that year, sharing photos from a trip to Tokyo in December 2025. The pair also stepped out together on a red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month.
Perry’s choice to answer the “JPJT” call on stage underscored how visible her current relationship has become.
Public milestones with Trudeau
- July 2025: initial dating rumors surfaced.
- December 2025: Instagram photos from Tokyo made the pairing official.
- June 2026: first major red carpet as a couple at Tribeca.
Co-parenting and life after the split
Since the breakup with Bloom, both parents have continued to focus on their child. Perry and Bloom have presented a united front when it comes to parenting responsibilities.
Co-parenting Daisy Dove remains a priority for both stars. Their public interactions reflect that aim, even as each pursues new relationships and careers.
What the stunt says about celebrity culture and storytelling
The staged phone gag at O Son do Camiño illustrates how modern performers use theater and social media to shape narrative. Perry blended theatrical spectacle with personal storytelling.
That mix keeps fans engaged and drives headlines. Whether read as a joke or a statement, the moment was crafted to circulate.
As reactions continue to appear online, the clip will likely be replayed across news cycles and social feeds.
