After releasing 143, Katy Perry was inexplicably plagued with misfortunes on her tour for the album: An annoying stage-crasher, a malfunction with a metal sphere, a breakup with her longtime lover Orlando Bloom, an even worse malfunction with a butterfly prop, and a fan collapsing onstage. Even before that, she went to space for some reason and was mocked so hard for it that she had to assure fans that she was OK. Now, she’s back with a new song and music video that feels very representative of this disastrous period of her career.

Katy Perry surprise-released single 'Bandaids,' inspired by her separation from Orlando Bloom, with a cinematic video of unfortunate events.
