John Mayer sheds his bad-boy reputation by showing his love for Katy Perry, dedicating a special song to his blue-eyed bombshell during his Milwaukee concert on Saturday.
"This is a long time coming for the both of us," Mayer told the crowd, leading into his melody "A Face to Call Home." "I want to dedicate this next song to my Katy, who is my face to call home."
The 35-year-old told the audience how much he appreciates his 28-year-old girlfriend, who was in the audience for the first night of his tour, according to the New York Daily News. Mayer said Perry was there for him during his year-long hiatus from music after having surgery for a throat granuloma.
The "Born and Raised" singer explained how the two communicated through his whispers, and she would order for him at restaurants or tell someone "it's nice to meet you" when being introduced in social settings.
"She was more incredible than I ever thought," Mayer told the crowd. "She was so patient as to continue to get to know me and love me."
The on-again, off-again couple was broken up when Perry did an interview and graced the cover of the July issue of Vogue. She explained her love for Mayer and what she thought of her then ex-boyfriend.
"I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him," Perry told Vogue. "All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind...Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds."
Perry was previously married to actor Russell Brand, and told Vogue she hasn't spoken to him since he divorced her through a text message. She explained her relationship with Brand in the magazine as well:
At first when I met him he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they're like, I can't handle the equalness. He didn't like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting. I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go and I was like: This isn't because of me; this is beyond me. So I have moved on from that.
