<p id=”par-4_28″>During a 2017 livestream with James Corden, Perry ranked her past lovers. She referred to Groban as “the one that got away.” Groban admitted that this shocked him.</p>
<p id=”par-5_38″>“That was a double-take and a spit of my coffee when I saw that,” he said, adding, “It’s very sweet of her to say that. I’m very flattered by it. But I was very surprised by it, too.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_13″>Perry <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/katy-perrys-the-one-that-got-away-rumored-about-different-men.html/”>reportedly later wrote the song</a> “The One That Got Away” about him.</p>

<p id=”par-7_44″>Groban recently announced his engagement to Natalie McQueen. Perry posted a video of herself having a strong reaction to this news. In a TikTok of her wearing a robe over a headline announcing the engagement, Perry poured herself a drink and began to mock-cry. </p>
<p id=”par-8_12″>The reaction to the post has been mixed. Some people loved it.</p>
<p id=”par-9_24″>“This is what twitter used to be like in 2010… celebrity chaos instead of curated promotions,” one <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1tb577d/katy_perry_reacts_to_ex_josh_grobans_engagement/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> user wrote. “I welcome this insanity!”</p>
<p id=”par-10_16″>“I guess I’m in the minority but I think this is pretty funny,” wrote another person.</p>
<p id=”par-11_21″>Other people were less fond of it. Some believe that Perry shouldn’t have put so much attention on a past relationship.</p>
<p id=”par-12_17″>“This is such a weird thing to do!!” one person wrote. “Even if it’s an inside joke.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_27″>“She just can’t get enough attention for herself,” another person added. “She has to try to take their moment and make it about her in the media.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_24″>Some people also pointed to the fact that this comes shortly after Perry was accused of sexual <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ruby-rose-opened-vomiting-katy-perry-2011-essay.html/”>harassment by Ruby Rose</a> and several others.</p>
<p id=”par-15_18″>“Yep this is exactly what i would do following an onslaught of credible sexual assault and harassment claims.”</p>
<p id=”par-16_14″>Many people also wondered how <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/justin-trudeau-checks-boxes-katy-perry-unexpectedly-serious-romance.html/”>Perry’s current boyfriend, Justin Trudeau</a>, feels about the post.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-she-said-that-the-song-showed-a-different-side-of-herself”>She said that the song showed a different side of herself</h2>
<p id=”par-17_24″>When Perry released “The One That Got Away,” she said she believed the song showed a different side of her than her other music.</p>
<p id=”par-18_71″>“I’m so pleased to select ‘The One That Got Away’ as my sixth single because this song shows a very different side of me that I haven’t shown with my past singles on this record,” Perry said in a statement from the label. “I think that everyone can relate to this song. I wrote (it) about when you promise someone forever, but you end up not being able to follow through.”</p>
