Katy Perry’s Eventful Year: 6 Things Everyone’s Talking About
Katy Perry has been everywhere in the headlines this year — from a short, much-mocked trip to space to a messy property dispute and even a rumored romance that no one saw coming. If you’re wondering why she’s trending again, here’s a simple, clear breakdown of the six biggest moments shaping her whirlwind 2025.
1. A Courtroom Win That Turned Into an Online Backlash
Katy Perry recently won a major legal battle over a $15 million Montecito mansion she bought from 85-year-old Carl Westcott. A judge ruled she is owed $1.8 million in damages after Westcott tried to reverse the sale, claiming he was impaired by painkillers when he signed the contract.
But instead of public support, Perry faced a wave of criticism for pursuing damages from an elderly, seriously ill veteran. Headlines painted her as “money-grubbing,” even though the court found no wrongdoing on her part.
This isn’t Perry’s first real-estate controversy — in 2015, she famously clashed with a group of nuns over a Los Angeles convent she tried to purchase.
2. Her Blue Origin Space Trip Still Isn’t Forgotten
Back in April, Katy joined an all-female Blue Origin mission that lasted just 11 minutes in space — and the internet hasn’t stopped talking about it since.
She sang “What a Wonderful World” mid-flight, showed off her tour setlist to the camera, and dramatically kissed the ground after landing. It all went viral, and not always in a flattering way.
Gayle King, who was also on the flight, recently said she pushed Katy to sing during the descent, joking that the stunt happened by “peer pressure from space.”
3. Yes, The Space Trip Really Happened — Despite Conspiracy Theories
Of course, the internet being the internet, a group of skeptics claimed the whole mission was staged. Their “proof”? A door that appeared to open from the inside before Jeff Bezos opened it from the outside.
But no — the Blue Origin trip was very real.
4. Fans Are Trying to Lift Her Spirits
Seeing the backlash pile up, Katy’s fans — known as KatyCats — came together to support her. They bought a huge digital billboard in Times Square displaying messages of “eternal love” for 24 hours.
Katy thanked them on Instagram, admitting she felt “battered and bruised” from constant criticism, but promised she would keep “looking to the light.”
Still, her Lifetimes tour has received mixed reviews and more online teasing.
5. A Breakup With Orlando Bloom
In July, Katy confirmed she and actor Orlando Bloom ended their six-year engagement. They co-parent their daughter Daisy Dove, now five.
Reports suggest Bloom wasn’t thrilled about her spaceflight, calling it “cringeworthy” and “embarrassing.” After the breakup, he turned to philosophical quotes on Instagram and later went viral after posing with someone dressed as Katy from the Blue Origin mission.
6. A New Romance — With Justin Trudeau
And now for the plot twist no one predicted: Katy Perry is reportedly dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
They were first spotted on a dinner date in Montreal, then again at one of her concerts. Months later, photos of them sharing a romantic moment aboard her yacht confirmed the rumors.
Sources say their connection is more than physical — they’re both “smart, thoughtful, and love meaningful conversations.”
They recently made their first public appearance as a couple in Paris after celebrating Katy’s 41st birthday.
Meanwhile, Trudeau’s ex-wife Sophie Grégoire acknowledged the new relationship, saying “we’re all human and things affect us,” though she’s choosing to “listen to the music instead of the noise.”
