Katy Perry's butterfly stage stunt almost ended in disaster
Footage captured by fans shows Perry visibly shaken as she freezes mid-lyric, gripping the prop and glancing anxiously at the support cables. Gasps erupted from the crowd as the star remained suspended above the audience, dangling precariously while the mechanism stalled. After a few tense seconds, Perry raised a hand to signal she was okay and continued singing, drawing applause for her composure.
This incident marks the second prop mishap in less than a month for the 40-year-old pop star. In June, during a performance in Australia, a spherical flying cage also malfunctioned mid-air, causing Perry to nearly lose her footing before regaining balance with the help of nearby crew members. Fans online are now expressing concern about the safety of her elaborate stage set-ups, especially given the recurring issues.
After the latest scare, Perry addressed the moment with a blurry selfie on Instagram Stories showing her shocked expression, captioned simply, 'Good Night San Fran.'
The incident has only amplified the online chatter. Clips of the malfunction have gone viral across TikTok and X, with many fans praising her professionalism, while others question whether the stunts are worth the risk.
With more dates ahead in Seattle, Canada, Europe, and South America, all eyes are now on Perry's team to prevent a third on-stage scare.

Selena Gomez's kidney donor, Francia Raisa signals support for Justin Bieber fueling feud rumours
Francia Raisa has reignited speculation over her friendship with Selena Gomez after sharing an Instagram post that featured Justin Bieber's new song 'Daisies.' The track, a heartfelt dedication to Hailey Bieber from his latest album Swag, played in the background of Raisa's behind-the-scenes content from Celebrity Family Feud. Bieber later reshared the post to his Instagram Stories, sparking renewed interest in Raisa's apparent support. In the caption, Raisa wrote, 'Spoiler Alert: We Won! I had so much fun playing Celebrity Family Feud with my familia. What made it really special was getting to play for a cause that meant something personal.' She revealed the episode was filmed the same weekend as her late friend Supanna's birthday, a connection that made the experience deeply meaningful. Raisa's team played for The Breasties, a cancer support nonprofit. Still, fans focused on her song choice. With 'Daisies' being a known tribute to Hailey Bieber and Raisa's former best friend, Selena Gomez, notably absent from the post, users on social media speculated whether this marked the end of their once-close bond. Bieber's quiet repost only added to the intrigue. Raisa and Gomez have had a complex relationship since Raisa famously donated a kidney to the singer in 2017. While they've both downplayed reports of a rift, public interactions have been minimal in recent years. Now, with Raisa embracing a track by Gomez's most high-profile ex, fans are left wondering if the silence between them speaks volumes.

Katy Perry's butterfly stage stunt almost ended in disaster
Katy Perry's butterfly-themed stage spectacle took a terrifying turn during her Lifetimes Tour stop in San Francisco, when a mid-air prop malfunction left her clinging on for safety. The singer was performing her hit 'Roar' while seated on a suspended butterfly rig when the platform suddenly jolted and tilted downward, causing her to slip and grab tightly to avoid falling. Footage captured by fans shows Perry visibly shaken as she freezes mid-lyric, gripping the prop and glancing anxiously at the support cables. Gasps erupted from the crowd as the star remained suspended above the audience, dangling precariously while the mechanism stalled.
