Pop star Katy Perry and ex John Mayer seemed to be having a friendly catch-up at a Sabrina Carpenter concert, a decade after their split. The exes were seated close to one another for the gig in Los Angeles on Sunday. Mayer was seated in the row above and behind Perry — who is reportedly "desperate" to return to American Idol after her music comeback failed — as they waited for the show to start.
Katy Perry opens up on 'hot and fast' arguments with Orlando Bloom Katy Perry's hefty payment for AFL Grand Final after song rows Perry sported a short blue dress with black boots and a fur-trimmed coat, while Mayer wore a casual black jacket and gray pants. They were photographed separately outside the venue. Mayer and Perry dated on and off from 2013 to 2015, during which they collaborated on the song Who You Love from Mayer's Paradise Valley album.
Mayer also played guitar on It Takes Two from Perry's Prism album. However, the Fireworks singer went on to start a relationship with her now-fiance Orlando Bloom in 2016, with whom she shares daughter Daisy Dove, four. Mayer has previously dated Taylor Swift and Jessica Simpson, but has more recently been linked to Kiernan Shipka.
In January, Mayer spoke to Kelly Rizzo on her Comfort Food podcast about his romantic goals: "People don't think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married." "You know the secret, which is that I'm actually fairly well-adjusted.
And I so badly want to get married if only for my wife to just know in her heart, like, 'John will know what to do.'" Fans reacted to the pair having their amicable chat at the concert online.

Another captioned their video of the pair: "John Mayer with Katy Perry's friends at Sabrina Carpenter concert." A third wrote: "Onto more pressing matters, who sat LONG TIME EXES WITH A NASTY BREAKUP, katy perry and john mayer, so close to each other? omg they look so uncomfortable. evil work.
" "Katy perry and john mayer interaction wasn't on my 2024 bingo card," one joked. "Seeing katy perry & john mayer talking together at sabrina carpenter's show last night is like listening to Save As Draft vs Still Feels Like Your Man but in an alternative universe," one fan said. In 2017, Mayer confirmed his song Still Feel Like Your Man was about Perry, telling the New York Times : "Who else would I be thinking about?" He added that writing the song about Perry was "a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years.
That was my only relationship. So it’s like, give me this, people." Meanwhile, that same year, while Perry was on a break with Bloom, she was asked by James Corden to rank the bedroom skills of her exes Mayer, Orlando, and Diplo.
She ranked Mayer as number one. Perry previously spoke about Mayer during her stint as an American Idol judge in 2022, when contestant Noah Thompson performed Mayer's 2009 hit Heartbreak Warfare. "Noah.
..I feel like maybe you should Wikipedia me," she said at the time.
"You did great, but I can’t talk anymore. I'm triggered!".
