Katy Perry has jokingly taken aim at a fan who was caught messaging her fiancé Orlando Bloom.

Last month the singer, 40, kicked off her Lifetimes world tour, her first tour in seven years.

After narrowly avoiding a wardrobe malfunction on stage earlier this week, Katy has now been filmed calling out a concertgoer for sliding into Orlando’s DM’s.

During her concert at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 17, Katy briefly paused the show and singled out a man standing in the crowd.

While introducing the song I’m His, He’s Mine, she called out the fan for sending messages to Orlando, 48, whom she has been engaged to since 2019 and shares daughter Daisy Dove, 4, with.

In a video shared on social media, Katy is seen telling the man: ‘Cute grin. I know why you’re here.’

Another fan in the crowd jumps in and tells Katy to ‘get his a**’.

‘Listen, if you keep DM’ing my man… Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You’ve been doing it for months, ever since the [Play] residency,’ she continued.

‘You didn’t come to see me play.

‘If you keep on DM’ing my man, I’m going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life.’

After the fan attempted to hand her something, she added: ‘I don’t want it. I’m his. I said I’m his. Stay the f*** away.”

Despite what appeared to be a tense exchange, it soon emerged it was all a joke.

Speaking to Lad Bible after the concert, Kyle revealed he was in on what unfolded, which was really just a segue for her next song.

‘This all started because I asked Katy to sing my favourite deep-cut and may have had to call in Orlando for some assistance,’ he explained.

‘Now I have the concert memory of a lifetime.

‘But let’s just hope she forgives me for DM-ing her man and allows me back at her next show.’

Sharing the video online, Kyle also joked he was in his ‘homewrecker era’.

After realising what had actually happened, many declared they’d been left in ‘fits of laughter’ watching the clip.

Despite Katy initially facing calls to suspend all shows after a ‘cringe’ performance went viral last month, very few tickets remain for her UK dates later in the year and several of her dates around the world have sold out.

The Lifetimes tour will see Katy perform 84 concerts, including eight in the UK.
