Watch: Katy Perry Narrowly Averts Major Accident As Prop Malfunctions Mid-Air
Pop star Katy Perry narrowly averted a major accident during her San Francisco concert when a fake giant butterfly she was riding abruptly fell several feet whilst hovering dangerously close to the audience members. The incident occurred during Ms Perry's Lifetimes Tour, which started in April this year. A video clip of the incident has gone viral on social media and shows Ms Perry singing her song Roar when the giant prop suddenly tilts and drops, causing her to slip from her seat. Ms Perry briefly stopped singing as horrified concertgoers watched from below. Fortunately, the prop managed to remain suspended as a visibly scared Ms Perry raises her hand, appearing to signal that she's alright, before continuing to sing the song. Addressing the mishap on her Instagram stories, Ms Perry posted a blurry, close-up photo of her scared reaction to the malfunction with the caption, "Good Night San Fran," written over the top of the image. As the video went viral, social media users said all pop artists should stop using such props, which put their lives as well as the audience's lives in danger. "One day one of these flying props is gonna break and fall and kill someone and only then they'll get banned," said one user while another added: "I'm sorry that's actually so scary, when will artists learn to not use these types of props." A third commented: "Time to pull these artist for a chat and let them know they are risking their lives for nothing." See the viral post here: Katy Perry's tour prop malfunctions midair. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) July 19, 2025 Beyonce suffers technical snag Last month, Beyonce also suffered a technical issue during the Houston stop of her Cowboy Carter tour. A snag caused her mid-air car prop to tilt dangerously during the performance, leading to exasperated gasps from the audience. The Grammy winner was singing 16 Carriages at the NRG Stadium and riding a flying car -- a special prop she uses to get closer to fans when it suddenly started tipping to one side. However, Beyonce was safely and quickly lowered to the ground. After she returned to the stage, the singer reassured fans with a smile, saying, "If I ever fall I know y'all would catch me." The crowd responded with loud cheers and applause.

The invitation to the Bezos-Sanchez destination wedding in Venice has leaked — and the internet has thoughts
"Please, no gifts." After much hype, speculation, and eyebrow-raising Vogue spreads, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are officially headed down the aisle in Venice, Italy this week. After ABC shared details of the couple's upcoming destination wedding invitation, PopCrave posted to X what appears to be a photo of a portion of the official wedding invitation. Set on a white backdrop with whimsical illustrations of birds, butterflies, dragonflies, feathers, and gondoliers rowing across the bottom, the design leans hard into a Venetian fairytale vibe — or at least that appears to have been the intention. The message opens: 'We are excited for you to join us! We have one early request — please, no gifts.' Instead, the couple says they'll be donating to three Venetian charities on behalf of their guests. The charities have the aim of supporting and sustaining Venice at a time when it is being plagued with overtourism, and protestors are greeting the newlyweds-to-be. 'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories,' the card reads. 'Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.' Social media had some questions about both the sentiment and the aesthetics. 'Was this made in Microsoft Paint?' one user asked, summing up the dominant reaction. Others compared it to a DIY Canva template, with one person joking, 'Graphic design is my passion.' Another quipped, 'Canva for the win,' while someone else added, 'The way this is a publicity stunt after all the backlash.' Of course the "no gifts" message also solicited response. 'Please no gifts — we're far too rich to receive anything from you peasants,' one commenter joked. Another replied, 'But I already ordered them something from Amazon.' Solve the daily Crossword

TikTok of couple caught on camera at Coldplay concert goes viral. The internet is determined to find 'cheaters.' Why?
Coldplay's live performance of 'Sparks' went viral last month as the heartbreak anthem resonated among yearners. Now, the band is back under the spotlight, but not for Chris Martin's singing. A couple caught on camera at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16 has the internet up in arms. With over 23 million views and counting, the video shows the couple swaying and smiling, but they quickly hide from the camera after landing on the Jumbotron. 'Uh oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked. Speculation ensued in the comments, and TikTok users made efforts to identify the couple, with commenters investigating their supposed jobs, employers and marital status. USA TODAY has reached out for comment. Massive media accounts like Pop Crave and Pop Base spread the alleged affair to millions of followers on X –– along with the rumored names and titles of the couple. As we seep deeper into surveillance culture, people are subjected to increased scrutiny online. Every wrong action, suspicious glance or physical attribute can be picked apart by millions of people on social media. TikTok sleuthing, in particular, appears to have a sharp focus on exposing cheaters. Add this incident to a growing trend on social media, where internet sleuths are going out of their way to find strangers they deem deserving of a public shaming. Some on TikTok are accusing their airplane seatmates of cheating on their spouse; others post detailed accounts of meeting men on their bachelor parties to alert their fiancées they are being unfaithful. "Are We Dating the Same Guy" Facebook groups alert women to allegedly toxic men, and 'loyalty testers' have made a living off of catching cheaters in the act. Though much of this seems well-intentioned, experts say becoming an amateur social media detective isn't the greatest idea, as you might wind up causing more harm than good. "They justify violating the privacy of the alleged offender because they have accepted the story as true and, thus, prematurely judged the individual as guilty and undeserving of privacy rights," psychologist Reneé Carr previously told USA TODAY. Why do we care about these strangers' personal lives? At the surface level, spectators simply love the drama. But beneath that, psychologists say society has developed a 'gotcha mentality' that fuels this discourse. "We love to partake in other's messy lives," Erica Chito-Childs, senior associate dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at Hunter College, previously told USA TODAY. "Partly because it makes us feel better about our own lives and/or it resonates with what we are adamantly for or against, thanks to the ever more accurate algorithms." The quick snap of a camera or even observing someone opening an app is fodder for nosy observers to gain a few details about someone's life. Nothing stops them from posting about it – and people are quick to add to the discourse, trying to right supposed wrongs. "With the birth of cancel culture and an increase in self-entitlement, a large part of society has adopted a 'gotcha' mentality as well as a hypersensitivity to offense and any perceptions of injustice," Carr explained. "For the social media audience, this is even more so." 'Loyalty tests' are viral online. Has cheating paranoia gone too far? Sleuthing can have unintended consequences Just because we have the tools to find people faster doesn't mean we should. Sleuthing and the online hate campaigns that follow can lead to negative consequences. "Sharing sensitive information that a person intended to keep private can adversely impact that person's mental health and it can put them at risk of being harassed, bullied or harmed physically," said Brad Fulton, associate professor of management and social policy at Indiana University – Bloomington. The Coldplay couple reacted suspiciously — had they simply smiled or turned their heads rather than bolting away from the cameras, people may have brushed it off as a shy duo. But even if they are having an affair, does the crime fit the punishment? "I highly caution others to not be so eager to bandwagon, pick sides and jump to conclusions when presented with limited information," Chase Cassine, licensed clinical social worker, explained. "You may be presented with a flawed, biased and one-sided perspective where pertinent information has been concealed or omitted."

Massive fire destroys Tomorrowland Festival's main stage ahead of opening in Belgium
A devastating fire has ravaged the main stage at Tomorrowland, one of Belgium's most iconic music festivals, just days before its scheduled opening. The fire, which erupted on Wednesday, caused significant damage to the stage, with large plumes of black smoke seen billowing into the sky from the festival grounds in Boom, Belgium. Organizers confirmed that no injuries were reported, and there were no festival-goers on site at the time of the incident. A fire has broken out on the Tomorrowland mainstage just one day before the festival is set to begin. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) July 16, 2025 Landing from the most epic #Tomorrowland party flight to this view of mainstage burning just 💔💔💔 — Erika (@erikalwoods) July 16, 2025 Tomorrowland turns into — Vincent Kennedy (@VincentCrypt46) July 16, 2025 According to Belgium's public broadcaster VRT, emergency services are at the scene, but the fire is yet to be fully controlled. Around 1,000 staff members were on site when the blaze broke out, all of whom were evacuated safely. Video footage shared online shows the main stage engulfed in flames, with fireworks being heard from the distance. The fire started on the right side of the stage, and by the time emergency crews arrived, the structure was almost entirely destroyed. The Tomorrowland mainstage is currently on fire — updates will be provided as applicable. 🎥: r/tomorrowland — Festive Owl (@TheFestiveOwl) July 16, 2025 Despite the extensive damage to the main stage, Tomorrowland's organizers have assured fans that the festival will go on. In a statement, they confirmed that the 'DreamVille' campsite will open as planned on Thursday, July 17, and all Global Journey activities in Brussels and Antwerp will proceed as scheduled. They also assured that they are exploring solutions to ensure the festival weekend, from Friday to Sunday, can still take place. The fire's cause remains unclear, but authorities are investigating the incident. The festival's main stage, a key feature of Tomorrowland, usually reflects the yearly theme — this year's being 'The World of Orbyz.' The destruction of the stage has raised concerns over how the festival will proceed, as the venue plays a central role in the event's production and atmosphere. Tomorrowland attracts hundreds of thousands of electronic music fans from around the world, and the cancellation or significant alteration of the festival would disrupt many travel plans. With major DJs, including David Guetta, Martin Garrix, and Swedish House Mafia, set to perform, the organizers face an enormous challenge in both managing the crisis and accommodating attendees. The festival's future remains uncertain as authorities continue to investigate the fire's cause and assess the impact on the weekend's events.
