Awkward moment Katy Perry had to rank her exes live on air based on how good they were in bed

Katy Perry once ranked her exes by who was best in bed in a conversation with James Corden.

With Taylor Swift writing and singing about her exes, it would seem another musician doesn't mind kiss and telling when asked about her past relationships.

Back in 2017, Perry held a continuous YouTube live stream event to promote her album Witness.

As well as sleeping and partaking in a therapy session while on camera, Perry also sat down for an interview with actor and comedian turned TV host James Corden.

Corden challenged the star to a game featured on The Late Late Show called 'Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,' which saw Perry answer questions or be forced to eat stomach-churning foods.

And what should Corden ask the singer? Well, about her past relationships and not only that, but how they'd rank if she compared how they all were in bed.

Corden asked Perry: "This is working on the notion that they're all good. Rank John Mayer, Diplo and Orlando Bloom."

Perry quickly protested, shouting 'No,' and that she wouldn't do it, but if she refused, she'd be faced with eating a '1,000-year-old egg'.

So, the singer got on with the ranking, noting Diplo - real name Thomas Wesley Pentz - would come in third, then Bloom in second and Mayer top.

"But we're saying all three are exceptional," Corden noted.

And Perry quickly added: "Gentlemen, I love you and you know that I love you and it's not about that, it's just maybe I just haven't had enough time to have sex with you."

And it didn't take long for people to swarm to social media with a more serious outlook the game and Perry's response.

Taking to Facebook, one user said: "I'm sorry but I'm starting to lose respect for Katy."

However, another commented: "Not saying this was okay to do, but just wondering why Katy's getting all the backlash? Like, what about James Cordon? He's the one who asked the question. She could have refused to answer, but if you really think this is a disgusting thing to do, you should also be mad at the person who asked her to do it."

Although someone else added: "But she did it anyway."

While Bloom never publicly responded to the ranking, Diplo took to X to note he didn't 'even remember having sex' and Mayer simply said he didn't have a 'cool enough thought' to respond with in an interview with Rolling Stone.

However, given Bloom is currently engaged to Perry and shares a child with the singer, it's hardly something for him to be concerned about.
