“London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?” she told the crowd, as she played as part of her Lifetimes tour.

“No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.”

Perry made the comments in reference to her ex partners Russell Brand and Orlando Bloom, and she also turned down a marriage request from a fan at the show.

“I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago,” she said.

Here is her romance with the former Canadian PM so far.
