Why Katy Perry Traded Hollywood For Kentucky (But Only Temporarily)

March 2024 · 2 minute read

The Bluegrass State was once home for Katy Perry, her boyfriend Orlando Bloom, and their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. During an interview with Extra from May 2022, the singer answered a question about whether the rumors she had moved to Kentucky were true, but Perry set the record straight. She revealed that the family in fact relocated because Orlando was filming the movie "Red Right Hand" on location in Kentucky.

"You can't believe everything you hear or read. You've got to hear it from the source, and the source is telling you no," she responded. "I was there for a month and change and I loved it. It was so beautiful to see the heart of America," she explained. "Also just to be 'Mom' every day, all day — I love that." Life in Kentucky seemed to be blissful, as the star posted an Instagram carousel in July 2022 geotagged in Louisville that showed her candle-making, ziplining, painting, and picking strawberries.

But Perry clarified to Extra that she isn't completely opposed to moving eastward, pointing out her connection to Tennessee, the state just below Kentucky. "I might get back a little bit more to my roots with that singer-songwriter side," she reminisced to the publication. "I spent so much time in Nashville just laying my musical foundation, so I'd love to continue on that path."
