The couple played each other at the inaugural tournament for the singer's Firework Foundation in Santa Barbara

Katy Perry has bragging rights over her fiancé Orlando Bloom!

On Monday, the singer, 38, revealed she “totally beat” the actor, 46, at pickleball during a fundraising tournament for her Firework Foundation in Santa Barbara, California.

Sharing an Instagram video of the event, Perry wrote, “My mom brought (maybe even forced) her love for pickleball upon our family, and now we’ve decided to use those pickle powers for good ⚡.”

“Yesterday @fireworkfoundation had our inaugural Light Up the Court pickleball tournament in Santa Barbara to raise money for scholarships, more camps, and programming to bring the arts to kids from underserved communities! (And not to brag, but I totally beat @OrlandoBloom in front of everyone too 😈🙃),” she continued. 

The American Idol judge went on to thank everyone who took part in the tournament and sponsored the event, along with those who donated to the foundation — which she started with her sister Angela Hudson to “give [the youth] a place where they can be a kid again.”

“You’ve all helped ignite the light in some amazing kids. See you next year! 🎇🎆🫶🏻,” she concluded her caption.
