Katy Perry's Gory New Video: Real or AI?

Katy Perry has unveiled a dramatic, bruised-up aesthetic for her forthcoming single, 'Band-Aids.' The music video showcases a montage of self-inflicted mishaps, leading to widespread fan speculation that the imagery reflects her recent heartbreak following her split from Orlando Bloom after nine years together. Perry's representatives have not confirmed if this is a standalone release or part of a new album cycle.

Fans noted the stark contrast between her current look and the vibrant cover art for her 2024 album, '143.' Alongside revealing promotional images, Perry posed with her lookalike stunt double, both dressed similarly, quipping that the intense visuals were not AI-generated. The singer's personal life has also been in the headlines, with rumors of a new romance with Justin Trudeau.

Perry and Bloom confirmed their breakup over the summer, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Despite the separation, they have maintained an amicable relationship and continue to prioritize their daughter's well-being. Perry recently confirmed she is touring and releasing new music simultaneously, hinting at a busy period ahead.
