There\u2019s a scene from Katy Perry<\/a>\u2019s 2012 tour documentary Part of Me <\/em>that is unforgettable for anyone who sees it \u2013 for all the wrong reasons. A pink-haired Perry, riding high on the success <\/a>of her multi-platinum album Teenage Dream <\/em>and due to perform in front of thousands of screaming fans that night, is lying crumpled in a chair, weeping. Moments before, she had received a text from Russell Brand<\/a>, her husband of just over a year<\/a>; in the message, he had told her that their marriage was over.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can cancel the show, or you can do your best,\u201d one of Perry\u2019s team tells her, clutching her hand. She chooses the latter, but there is a horrible dissonance between her cartoonish performance gear \u2013 a dress with a bodice adorned with whirling candy wheels \u2013 and her obvious heartbreak. Before she rises onto the stage through a trapdoor, we see her arrange her face into a popstar-perfect smile, but the happiness doesn\u2019t quite reach her eyes. <\/p>\n

It has always been a wrenching moment, a reminder of how stratospheric fame can\u2019t cushion you from the anguish of a relationship breaking down \u2013 especially when that relationship ends in such brusque fashion.<\/p>\n
