Katy Perry hilariously reacts to ex Josh Groban’s engagement to Natalie McQueen
The light-hearted clip immediately caught the attention of fans online, especially because Katy Perry and Josh Groban’s brief romance has long been a topic of discussion in pop culture. Perry and Groban dated briefly in 2009 and eventually decided they were better off as friends. Years later, during a weekend-long livestream to promote her 2017 album “Witness,” Perry surprised fans by revealing that Groban was actually “the one who got away.”
This confession immediately brought renewed attention to Perry and Groban’s past relationship, especially because Perry had never publicly linked her to the emotional song before. Groban later said that this revelation surprised him. While appearing on Watch What Happens Live in 2018, Groban remembered that Perry had introduced him to the song. “I didn’t expect this,” he said at the time.
“When I saw him he did a double-take and spit out my coffee,” Groban said, adding that he felt pleased by the comment, but was also actually confused because the lyrics did not resemble him at all. “I heard the lyrics,” he said. “And I’m like, ‘I’ve never had a Mustang. I don’t have any tattoos. Are you sure this is about me?'”
Groban spoke warmly of their relationship and said that the two remained close friends long after their breakup. “We’re still great friends to this day. She’s the best.” Groban previously explained that their split happened because they both preferred to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight.
