The One That Got Away: Katy Perry Reacts to Josh Groban's Engagement
Katy Perry recently reacted to the news of Josh Groban's engagement, years after she admitted that her song "The One That Got Away" was inspired by their brief relationship in 2009. Despite their past, Katy and Josh have remained friends over the years. In response to Josh's engagement to Natalie McQueen, Katy humorously posted a video of herself pretending to cry while listening to her own song on TikTok.
During a livestream in 2017 to promote her Witness album, Katy shared with fans that Josh was the one who got away. Josh, on the other hand, expressed his surprise at being the inspiration behind the song during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in September 2018. He was flattered by Katy's sentiment but pointed out that the song's lyrics didn't entirely match his own experiences.
Reflecting on their past relationship, Josh mentioned that they both valued their privacy and ultimately decided they were better off as friends. Despite their romantic history, Josh emphasized that they have maintained a strong friendship to this day. While there were no plans for a reconciliation at the time, Josh acknowledged the sweetness of Katy's words.
In the music video for "The One That Got Away," Katy Perry stars alongside Diego Luna. The song's lyrics capture the sentiment of lost love and missed opportunities. To see the video and read the full lyrics, check out the content below.
