Body Language Expert Reveals the Reason behind Orlando Bloom’s Strange Reaction to Katy Perry’s VMAs Performance

Katy Perry took to the stage to sing some of her hit tracks at the MTV Video Music Awards, sparking public reactions.

On September 11, 2024, Perry, amid appearances from winners including Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter, took the award ceremony by storm. She debuted a new track and drew from her back catalog to perform some of her greatest hits.

However, it was shots capturing Bloom’s reaction to his fiancé that got a lot of people talking afterward. Throughout Perry’s MTV VMAs performance, Bloom’s face shifted between confusion and bewilderment, with a slight smile that hinted at his supportive nature.

Having introduced her on stage before the performance, he seemed proud. However, one particular clip captured his stunned reaction as Perry nearly kissed guest rapper Doechii during her new track, “I’m His, He’s Mine.”

Orlando Bloom looked momentarily more taken aback than before, his eyes wide in surprise, before breaking into a grin. He clapped and looked around at the crowd.

Fans couldn’t help but notice the emotions and facial expressions on Bloom’s face. One fan commented, “Orlando Bloom is reacting to this performance as if he’s never heard a single Katy Perry song before what is going on #VMAs,” capturing the bewilderment many felt.

Another fan remarked, “Was this the first time Orlando Bloom watched Katy Perry perform? Our man seem to have no idea what was going on 🤣 #VMAs #KatyPerry #OrlandoBloom [sic],” poking fun at the actor’s seemingly confused reaction.

One fan humorously noted, “That was his Oscar loser face, pretending it’s all good when he’s really dying inside. 😂” Meanwhile, one fan couldn’t help but laugh, stating, “Orlando Bloom’s reaction to Katy Perry scissoring and kissing a girl 😂.”

Body language expert Adam Lyons analyzed Bloom’s reaction, explaining that it displayed the typical expression a man might have when seeing his partner with another woman. Lyons pointed out how Bloom’s reaction fit a common pattern in such situations, reflecting a mix of surprise and amusement.

“He’s looking around, half wondering if he can believe his eyes. He’s a kid in a toy shop and he’s just been told he can have his favorite toy,” explained the body language expert.

Bloom’s reaction sparked amusement from viewers, with some noting his apparent uncertainty. At the ceremony, Perry paid tribute to Bloom and their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, while accepting the MTV Video Vanguard Award.

She also took the opportunity to commend the young artists who display confidence, agency, vulnerability, and authenticity in their work.

“I’ve heard a lot of do this, don’t say that, wear less, wear more now, hey. Don’t cut your hair. One of the biggest reasons I’m standing here right now is because I learned how to block out all of the noise,” she divulged.

Katy Perry urged artists in the music industry, particularly women, to stay true to themselves and their art, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and personal integrity.
