Katy Perry may be newly single, but she doesn't exactly seem ready to mingle.

This weekend, the 27-year-old pop star seemed "subdued" as she made her first public U.S. appearance since splitting from hubby Russell Brand last month, an eyewitness told amNewYork.

While politics at the dinner table is considered a taboo subject, yapping about it on social media carries a different sort of consequence -- getting "unfriended."
