Katy Perry shared a comical reaction to the news her ex, Josh Groban, is engaged after admitting her hit song ‘The One That Got Away’ was about the singer
Katy Perry has reacted to the news her ex, Josh Groban, is engaged. The star revealed he is set to marry stage actress Natalie McQueen after announcing their sweet news last month.
But years before Josh and Natalie got together, he was in a relationship with Firework singer Katy. They were briefly an item in 2009 and have remained friends since.
And now Katy has offered a joking response to his exciting news. She posted a video of herself jokingly crying as she listened to her tune, The One That Got Away. She was seen taking a drink while crying and wearing a white dressing gown.

She had previously revealed the track was about her ex. In 2017, while promoting her Witness album, she labelled Josh the ‘one that got away’.
The chorus of the song reads: “In another life I would be your girl/ We’d keep all our promises/ Be us against the world/ In another life I would make you stay/ So I don’t have to say you were/ The one that got away/ The one that got away.”
Josh admitted in 2018 that he was “not expecting that”. “That was a double take and a spit of my coffee when I saw that,” he said. “It’s very sweet of her to say that. I’m very flattered by it. But I was very surprised by it too.”
But he claimed he didn’t have a clue as the tune didn’t match him. He went on: “I listened to the lyrics of the song. And I’m like, ‘I never owned a Mustang. I don’t have a tattoo. Are you sure that’s about me?”
Describing why the pair broke up, Josh said: “We were both very private and we realised we were better as friends and we’ve been very, very good friends to this day. She’s the best.”
At the time, he also played down any chance of getting back with the star. He went on: “I think we’re both very taken at the moment, but it’s very sweet.”
Josh proposed to Natalie during a trip to Disneyland. Sharing the update last month, Josh gushed: “MY BEST FRIEND SAID YES!!! Sharing this life with you is my happiest place.”
He shared a number of snaps from their getaway. Among them was a photo of thje pa in front of Snow White’s Wishing Well and the King Arthur Carrousel. The last images showed a cake with “congratulations” written in icing on top and the couple’s hands, including Natalie’s big diamond.
Speaking about their relationship in 2023, Josh told People: “We’re both people pleasers and we’re both introverts, so that can sometimes mean that it takes a little bit of prodding, like, ‘No, how are you really feeling? And so we always just want to make things great for each other.”
Katy is currently dating former Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
