Katy Perry has shared a hilarious reaction to the news that her ex-boyfriend Josh Groban is officially off the market after getting engaged to West End star Natalie McQueen.
The 41-year-old pop star took to TikTok on Monday, May 11, to post a tongue-in-cheek video featuring a screenshot of the happy couple’s announcement.
Using a green screen effect, Perry appeared in a white coat with her hair up, looking visibly “distraught” as she poured a drink into a glass until it overflowed.
To clarify the joke, he played the clip to his 2010 hit. The one that got away, a song she admitted was inspired by Groban.
He fireworks The singer kept the title simple with a brief “Congratulations,” but the video told a different story as she toasted the camera, took a big drink, and playfully sobbed for her fans.
This playful mourning comes years after Perry first confirmed during a 2017 interview with James Corden that Groban was indeed the muse behind her melancholic track about lost love.
The pair dated briefly in 2009, but have remained close friends over the years, with Groban previously describing their bond as “very, very good friends to this day.”
Groban, for his part, was surprised when he first learned that he was the inspiration for the song, and once joked that he didn’t see the resemblance to the lyrics since he never owned a Mustang or had any tattoos.
The 45-year-old singer announced his engagement to McQueen on April 21 after a magical proposal at Disneyland.
He shared his excitement online, calling McQueen his best friend and thanking Disney for helping create the “best day of our lives” while showing off a ring he helped design.
While Perry clearly enjoys the joke about her “lost” romance, her own love life has taken a high-profile turn recently.
Following her split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom last year, the singer moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
