Overview
- Katy Perry posted a lighthearted TikTok on Monday using her 2010 hit The One That Got Away, faux-crying in a bathrobe as she poured a drink and captioned the clip “congrats 🥂.”
- Perry has said since 2017 that the song was inspired by Josh Groban after their brief 2009 romance, and Groban joked in 2018 that the lyrics did not match him as he expressed surprise and gratitude.
- Groban announced on April 21 that he proposed to stage actress Natalie McQueen at Disneyland, sharing photos on Instagram and thanking Disney Weddings for the help.
- USA TODAY noted the video also appeared on Facebook as a collaboration with Drink De Soi, Perry’s nonalcoholic beverage brand, suggesting a promotional layer to the post.
- Coverage points to the song’s renewed life on TikTok this year, with Billboard noting Perry has leaned in by releasing an extended director’s cut of the video and a companion EP in April.
