Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Sober Pact: Here’s Why

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been sober since making a pact in March. In a new interview with People yesterday (June 21), the American Idol judge opened up about what inspired her and her beau to be sober together.

She tells the publication, "For me, it was an opportunity to reset. We reset after President's Day, and it was a great opportunity to just let my body bounce back a little bit. I've had a pretty good relationship with just finding balance." The "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" singer has been sober in solidarity with Bloom, 46, for three months now.

The 38-year-old singer-songwriter explains, "We did this because he's shooting a movie in London right now that's taking every ounce of his focus, and so I wanted that opportunity to be supportive. It's really hard to do anything, whether that's doing a cleanse or a reset unless your partner's doing it. So, doing it together makes it so much easier." Perry says she doesn't "really identify with any labels as far as sober or whatever." However, she adds that she loves to "have my reset moments, especially being 38, balancing the intensity of my career and having a toddler who loves to run."

Bloom and Perry have been engaged since 2019 and are parents to 2-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. Katy says that she's "not really drinking" on weeknights, "but on the weekend, I'll indulge a little bit." She is a co-founder of the non-alcoholic, natural sparkling beverage company De Soi. Just yesterday, Katy took to social media to promote the brand's latest flavor, Très Rosé.

The Grammy nominee is currently gearing up for the final legs of her PLAY Las Vegas residency, which wraps in November. Meanwhile, the Lord of the Rings alum is filming an upcoming action-thriller called Red Right Hand, alongside actress Andie MacDowell. The film follows Bloom's character, Cash, who is trying to live an honest and quiet life, taking care of his niece Savannah in the Appalachian hills of Odim County. When the sadistic Queenpin Big Cat (MacDowell) who runs the town forces him back into her services, Cash learns he’s capable of anything—even killing—to protect the town and the only family he has left. As the journey gets harder, Cash is drawn into a nightmare that blurs the lines between good and evil.

2013 was such a good year for pop music. Drake, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Lorde, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Britney Spears all had new albums that dominated the airwaves. We're definitely still listening to a lot (okay, most) of these pop hits from 2013, which turn ten years old in 2023!

Take a look below at some of 2013's biggest hits:

Bieber lent his voice on this dance track off of will.i.am's fourth studio album, #willpower.

This R&B hit is from Legend's fourth studio album, Love in the Future. The album was executive produced by Legend, Kanye West and Dave Tozer, featuring guest appearances from Kimbra, Rick Ross, Stacy Barthe and Seal.

"Applause" was Gaga's lead single from her third studio album, Artpop. Gaga began planning the project in 2011, shortly after the launch of her second effort, Born This Way.

Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" became the subject of a legal dispute with the family of Marvin Gaye and Bridgeport Music, who argued the song infringed on copyrights to Gaye's 1977 single "Got to Give It Up." On top of that, model Emily Ratajkowski accused Thicke of sexually assaulting her on the music video set, alleging that he groped her bare breasts from behind during the filming.

"Dark Horse" is from Perry's fourth studio album, Prism, which was initially planned to be "darker" than her previous material. Prism ultimately became a prominently dance-inspired record.

Beyoncé's self-titled fifth studio album gave us this awesome collab with husband Jay-Z as well as "Partition," "Pretty Hurts," "XO" and "Flawless."

Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" is from their fourth (and seemingly final) studio album, inspired by late '70s and early '80s American music from Los Angeles.

"Heart Attack" comes from Demi's fourth studio album Demi, where she wanted to change her sound from her self-described "generic" third album Unbroken. Lovato wanted her fourth album to "have songs that excited her."

Disclosure's Settle album is the electronic music duo's best musical work by far, with "Help Me Lose My Mind" being the best of all.

Drake's third studio album Nothing Was the Same gave us all his best hits with "Started From The Bottom," "Worst Behavior," and "All Me."

Chris Brown had dudes all over singing "These girls ain't loyal" all year long in 2013.

From Timberlake's third studio album The 20/20 Experience, "Mirrors" is the far superior song choice to his collab with Jay-Z, "Suit & Tie." Though the music video for "Suit & Tie" was great, the song is quite annoying. "Mirrors" is a song for the ages.

Lorde emerged on the music scene with Pure Heroine and gave us an amazing debut album. "Royals" made her a star pretty quickly.

Every time the weather gets below 70 degrees, this song is sure to come on.

Mac Miller and Ariana Grande met in 2012 when the two covered “Baby It's Cold Outside.” A year later, they collaborated again in "The Way," from Grande's debut studio album Yours Truly. The two didn't start dating until August 2016 and ended the relationship in May 2018.

"The Worst" is arguably the best song off of Aiko's debut EP Sail Out. The album has notable features with Vince Staples, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino and Ab-Soul.

We love how this song has made its comeback on TikTok with hilarious videos of people walking "a mile in these Louboutins."

This is the best song to work out to. Thank you, Britney Spears!

You could not escape this song in 2013 even if you tried. From the memes to the media fixation with Miley Cyrus during this era, "Wrecking Ball" will forever be a part of pop culture history.

Sad girl Lana Del Rey walked so that girls like Phoebe Bridgers and Olivia Rodrigo could run.
