Katy Perry made an appearance on Ellen on Tuesday to promote her upcoming tour and album, Witness. However, things got a bit awkward when talk turned towards Perry’s brief marriage to U.K. comedian Russell Brand.
The talk show host was going to play a matchmaking game with Perry – Would You Perry Me? – a riff on the game “Would you rather”. Katy Perry groaned, “Do I have to get married… again?!”
Ellen responded, “You were not married.” Perry then tried to play it down, saying, “Yeah... It’s been a long time, honey.”
Ellen, clearly not getting the hint, had to ask to whom Perry was married. Perry turned to her and whispered, “Russell Brand.”
“I forgot about Russell!” Ellen said.
“Remember, you gave us some wedding gifts on this show?” Perry said. Ellen then segued right into the game, skating over the awkward moment. Oops!
Perry was recently confirmed as a judge on the reboot of American Idol.
