Originally appeared on E! Online
While Katy Perry was showing the world what sheās worth, Orlando Bloom was attracting attention of his own.
The āFireworkā singer took the stage at the 2024 MTV VMAsāhosted by Megan Thee Stallionāon Sept. 11, to give an epic nine-minute performance of her greatest hits ahead of accepting the Video Vanguard Award.
Kicking off Perryās performance, the Pirates of the Caribbean star introduced his āirresistibleā fiancĆ©e to the crowd, gushing, āYou fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson. You know her as a global superstar who brings love, light, and her unique sense of humor to every song she writes and music video she creates. I know her as a mother, as a partner, who brings that same love and joy to our family.ā
But as the 39-year-old wowed on stage dancing and belting out songs like āDark Horse,ā āE.T.,ā āCalifornia Gurls,ā āI Kissed a Girl,ā Firework,ā and more, fans took note of Bloom in the audience thanks to his facial expressions.

Indeed, Perryāwho shares 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove with Bloomāand collaborator Doechii got pulses racing to their new sexy track āIām His, Heās Mine,ā leaning in for a kiss before the camera cut to the British actor, who appeared to be squinting at the stage while sitting next to a smiling, singing Paris Hilton.
The camera cut back to the Lord of the Rings star several times throughout the medley of songs where his still figure was noticeable amidst the dancing and singing fans.
Of course, the internet took notice and delighted in Bloomās reactions.
āOkayā¦ Orlando Bloomās reaction to Katy Perry shaking her butt cheeks, spreading eagle, scissoring and kissing a girl at #VMAs was pretty iconic hahaha!ā one fan wrote, while another noted, āDid it appear to anyone else as if orlando bloom may not be familiar with the song california gurls.ā
However, itās quite clear that the two remain each otherās biggest fans. In fact, in her Video Vanguard Acceptance speech, Perry gave Bloom a special shoutout.
āThank you to Orlando,ā she said, āfor keeping me grounded, celebrated, and doing the dishes.ā
The cheeky comment was a reference to Perryās recent Call Her Daddy With Alex Cooper interview, where she shared that acts of service are her love language.
"If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all," Perry said on the Sept. 4 episode, "and you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d--k sucked."
