Katy Perry enjoys rare family outing with Orlando Bloom in NYC after addressing Dr. Luke controversy

Katy Perry enjoys rare family outing with Orlando Bloom in NYC after addressing Dr. Luke controversy

As someone who has been through my own share of controversies in the music industry, I can understand the dilemma Katy Perry finds herself in. On one hand, she’s collaborating with talented individuals like Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and others to create what could potentially be a brilliant album. On the other, she’s facing backlash due to her decision to work with someone who has been involved in serious allegations of abuse.


Katy Perry and her partner Orlando Bloom, along with their three-year-old child Daisy, appeared to be a content family as they ventured together in New York City

On a casual walk around Tribeca, the pop star (aged 39) and actor (aged 47) were spotted with their daughter’s hands in theirs, crossing the street together as a loving family unit, on a hump day

At some point, Bloom placed his smallest child up on his shoulders, while Perry sipped a hot drink and held a pink reusable water bottle featuring Hello Kitty

On the casual occasion, the artist who has been nominated for thirteen Grammys wore a loose-fitting, soft gray tank top and coordinating gray bike shorts

She completed her casual look with a black quilted Chanel waist bag, sunglasses and several necklaces layered on top of each other.

Instead of wearing her long, dark hair in a low ponytail, she chose to wear a blue baseball cap on top of it

Bloom looked handsome in an oversized navy blue shirt, coordinating shorts and sneakers. 

Like Perry, he also wore a baseball cap and sunglasses. 

On August 26th, their four-year-old girl appeared charmingly dressed in a white crochet top boasting a red heart design, paired with blue denim pants and white tennis shoes

Despite the fact that they share just one child (Daisy), it’s worth noting that Bloom has a 13-year-old son named Flynn who is from his previous marriage to model Miranda Kerr, who is now 41 years old

As a devoted admirer, I recently had the thrill of witnessing Perry for the first time since she boldly stood by her choice to collaborate with the contentious music producer, Dr. Luke, for her forthcoming masterpiece, Album 143

Some individuals find it problematic that Perry collaborated with Dr. Luke, as he was embroiled in a ten-year legal dispute with fellow artist Kesha, 37, who accused him of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse in 2014, allegations he denied

The legal battle was ultimately settled.

As I listened to Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the creator of I Kissed a Girl emphatically shared that every lyric she penned was derived from her own lived experiences, and not representative of the producer’s perspectives

She explained: ‘I understand that it started a lot of conversations. 

‘And he was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with.’

The Wide Awake singer insists Luke is simply someone who helps her ‘facilitate’ her music.

She went on: ‘But the reality is it comes from me.

The truth is, I composed these tunes based on the transformation I’ve undergone throughout my entire life, and he was among those who aided in making it happen – one of the songwriters, one of the producers

‘I am speaking from my own experience.

Speaking about the World of Women, I am filled with a profound sense of empowerment as both a mother and a woman. The process of giving birth and creating another human being, complete with organs, a brain, and a heart, is an experience that fills me with immense pride. I have brought life into this world, and I continue to nurture and guide it. As the matriarch, I stand firmly in my role, finding solace and strength in my connection to femininity and motherhood. This is the perspective from which I speak

Katy insists her music comes from a ‘place of celebration and love’.

She added: ‘I don’t feel like I have to make music.

I’m not compelled to demonstrate anything; instead, I’m engaging in this action out of joy and affection

Prior to her highly anticipated return, Perry’s partnership with Dr. Luke stirred significant debate

In June, it was reported by Rolling Stone that she was working together with Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Sarah Hudson, and Stargate on her upcoming sixth album

According to a source from Capitol Records, Perry had clearly decided on the kind of album she wanted to produce and assembled a talented team to bring it to life, marking her first release since 2020’s Smile

Previously, both Perry and Dr. Luke faced criticism online due to their settlement with Kesha, age 37, following her allegations in a 2014 lawsuit that he had subjected her to sexual and physical abuse

In response to the announcement that Perry and Dr. Luke were going to work together, Kesha – also known as Kesha Rose Sebert – posted a humorous comment, “lol.”

Many fans interpreted the significance behind Kesha’s casual tweet, as one fan assumed she might be amused by Katy Perry and her latest track. Another fan even questioned if it could be considered a subtle jab towards Katy

Other people were more pointed toward Perry’s professional decision to collaborate with Dr. Luke.

One person commented that it’s unlikely for the world to become a “Women’s World” as figures such as Katy Perry persistently back and boost individuals like Dr. Luke, who have been accused of abuse within the entertainment industry

A different person commented, ‘I can’t believe how many Katy Perry supporters are justifying Dr. Luke’s actions… It’s important to remember that we can still be fans while holding our favorite artists accountable for their actions.’

One user stated that Perry was strategically planning, since she chose to wait until the legal proceedings were over before reaching out to him again

One user said they ‘won’t be listening,’ while another said, ‘Some people make music with integrity, while others just care about having a number 1.’
