Katy Perry is channeling her dark side.


Just days after rumors began circulating that Perry and long-term boyfriend John Mayer had called it quits, the pop star was seen out in Los Angeles on Thursday (February 27) looking like she had just stepped off the set of one of her favorite ’90s flicks, “The Craft.”


Sporting bangs and her new jet-black short bob, the “Dark Horse” singer was wearing a multicolored plaid skirt, feathered top and black tights as she met up with friends, Shannon Woodward and B.J Novak at Jiltlada restaurant in Hollywood.


On Friday, Perry posted a puzzling message on Twitter, writing, “The bad news: there is no key to the universe. The good news: it was never locked.”





While she has yet to comment on the breakup reports, Perry seemed to have her hands full earlier this week when she helped to deliver a baby in a living room. The pop star shared with her followers that she was now “Auntie Katy.” For his part, Mayer has been spending time in New York. He reunited with his namesake trio for their first TV performance in five years on “Light Night with Seth Meyers.”


This isn’t the first time the couple have supposedly parted ways: The duo broke up last March but eventually reconciled. Since then, both have spoken highly of each other and even released a song and music video together for

“Who You Love.” They sparked engagement rumorsafter Perry was seen wearing a large diamond ring.
