LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Katy Perry and John Mayer appear to remain on good terms a decade after their breakup.

The two were spotted sharing a friendly moment at Sabrina Carpenter’s concert in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 17, as seen in social media clips.

The ex-couple, who dated from 2012 to 2014, were seated near one another at the event.



 

Perry sat in the row directly in front of Mayer, and the two were seen engaging in conversation as they waited for the concert to begin.

Mayer has often been candid about his time with Perry. In 2017, he revealed that his song 'Still Feel Like Your Man' was written about Perry.

Speaking with The New York Times, Mayer said, “Who else would I be thinking about? That was my only relationship. So it’s like, give me this, people."

He has previously been romantically linked to Taylor Swift and Jessica Simpson and more recently to Kiernan Shipka, according to Daily Mail.

Perry, meanwhile, began dating actor Orlando Bloom in 2016 and is now engaged to him. They share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.

Katy Perry’s hilarious reaction to John Mayer's song on 'American Idol'

Katy Perry and John Mayer's past relationship resurfaced during a 2022 episode of 'American Idol' when contestant Noah Thompson performed Mayer’s song 'Still Feel Like Your Man'.

Contestants were tasked with guessing which judge selected the song for them. When Thompson mistakenly thought Perry had chosen it, her reaction left viewers in stitches.



 

“Noah... I feel like maybe you should Wikipedia me,” Perry quipped. When Thompson asked, “That’s a big no then?” Perry clarified she had picked a John Denver song.

“It’s all a great song, you did great, but I can’t talk anymore,” she joked, disappearing under the table.
