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 with a screenshot of the happy couple’s announcement.
Using a green screen effect, Perry appeared in a white robe with her hair tied and visibly “confused” as she poured a drink into a glass until it overflowed.
To drive the joke home, she put the clip to her 2010 hit The one that got away a song she famously admitted was inspired by Groban.
The Fireworks the singer kept the caption simple with a brief “Congratulations,” but the video told a different story as she toasted the camera, took a massive sip and jokingly sobbed to her followers.
This playful sadness 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 briefly dated back 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 famously surprised when he first learned that he was the inspiration for the song, and he once joked that he couldn’t quite see the resemblance to the lyrics, as he never owned a Mustang or had any tattoos.
The 45-year-old singer announced her 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 to 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.
After her split with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom last year, the singer has moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
