Katy Perry is back on tour after her split from Orlando Bloom.

The “Teenage Dream” singer took the stage in Adelaide, Australia, on Monday, shortly after reports of her break-up with the Pirates of the Caribbean star.

Perry became visibly emotional at the conclusion of her last concert at the Adelaide Entertainment Center, holding back tears as she introduced her final song.

“Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world,” the singer said in fan videos capturing the moment. “Now let’s sing ‘Firework!'”

PEOPLE confirmed that Perry and Bloom ended their nine-year relationship last week, shortly before the Elizabethtown actor attended Jeff Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sánchez alone over the weekend.

The couple first met at an afterparty for the 2016 Golden Globes in Los Angeles, and became Instagram-official when they attended the Cannes Film Festival in May 2016. Bloom and Perry later announced that they’d broken up in February 2017, but reconciled in 2018 and made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean at the Opera of Monte-Carlo in Monaco.

Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 and announced that they were expecting a child together in March 2020. Perry gave birth to their daughter, Daisy Bloom, later that year.

Monday’s show marked the 13th and final concert in the Australian leg of Perry’s Lifetimes Tour. She will bring the tour back to the United States on July 10 when she performs at the Ball Arena in Denver, and will play over 20 more shows in North America before heading to South America in September and to Europe in October.

Perry is currently scheduled to conclude the Lifetimes Tour in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Park on Dec. 7. The tour is in support of her seventh studio album, 143, which was released last year to widespread criticism for its inclusion of producer Dr. Luke.

Perry also made headlines last month after filing a restraining order against a “transient” man who allegedly infiltrated her home in Santa Barbara, Calif., more than once this year. Perry was granted a temporary restraining order that will expire on July 14, when the court will decide whether it will grant the musician a permanent restraining order.
