Katy Perry Delivers A+ Reaction to Ex Josh Groban’s Engagement — Watch the Hilarious Video

In another life she’d be his girl — in this one, Katy Perry turns her ex’s big news into a punchline, dropping a cheeky TikTok after Josh Groban gets engaged to Natalie McQueen.

So, this is fun: Katy Perry saw her ex Josh Groban get engaged and turned it into a bit on TikTok. It is equal parts cheeky and oddly sweet, considering the song she used.

Katy reacts - with a glass and a wink

On Monday, May 11, Perry, 41, dropped a TikTok reacting to Groban, 45, popping the question to West End actor Natalie McQueen, 36. She green-screened herself in front of a screenshot announcing their engagement news, wearing a white robe with her hair up, and poured a drink until it overflowed. Then she clinked the glass at the camera, took a dramatic gulp, and fake-cried. The kicker: she set the whole thing to her 2010 hit 'The One That Got Away' and captioned it simply, 'Congrats 🥂'.

Yes, that song.

About that song...

Perry and Groban briefly dated back in 2009 and kept things pretty private. Years later, during a 2017 chat with James Corden, Perry said flat-out that 'The One That Got Away' was about Groban and added that they were still good friends.

Groban later weighed in on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. He was flattered but surprised, and joked that some lyrics did not exactly line up with his real life - he pointed out he never owned a Mustang and does not have a tattoo - before emphasizing they realized they worked better as friends and had stayed close.

Groban's big news

Groban announced his engagement on April 21 with photos from a Disneyland proposal and a close-up of McQueen's ring. He went full theme-park romantic in the caption and even shouted out the jeweler who helped design the ring.

"MY BEST FRIEND SAID YES!!! Sharing this life with you is my happiest place, @nataliemcqueen. Thank you @disneyweddings for helping make the best day of our lives (so far) so magical. (Also such a pleasure to design that gorgeous ring with @auroro.world who is a genius)."

Where Katy is now

Perry has clearly moved on too. After splitting from ex-fiance Orlando Bloom last year, she started seeing former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. Back in October 2025, a source told Us Weekly she was very happy, keeping it low-key, and spending a lot of private time with him.

Quick catch-up
