Katy Perry has come under fire from fans after she destroyed a large cake meant for her 41st birthday celebration, with her dancers eating the remnants directly from the floor.

The singer may have fallen out of favor with some fans, but in the eyes of her new flame, Justin Trudeau, she's the "perfect woman," with sources adding that the politician is "crazy" about her.

Katy Perry confirmed her romance with Justin Trudeau when they were recently seen holding hands, but insiders say she "didn't expect" to end up with him following her split from Orlando Bloom.

Perry left many fans confused and angry with the way she celebrated her birthday during a recent stop on her ongoing Lifetimes Tour.

In a video trending online, the "Roar" hitmaker celebrated her new age backstage while still dressed in her show costume.

Crew members and dancers surrounded her as she blew out the candles on the large sheet cake. The singer then picked up the cake and tried to hurl it at a man in a suit, but missed, leaving the cake trashed on the floor.

Perry seemed to have been amused by the sighting, as some of her dancers approached the battered dessert and bent down to help themselves to a scoop directly from the floor.
