Katy Perry nearly plummets from floating butterfly as giant prop malfunctions during her show
Katy Perry performs onstage during the Katy Perry The Lifetimes Tour on April 23 in Mexico CNN Newsource First Beyoncé, now Katy Perry. The 'Part of Me' singer was in San Francisco on Friday night performing as part of her Lifetimes Tour, when a giant butterfly prop she was riding malfunctioned as it hung suspended over the crowd. As seen in several video clips shared by audience members on social media, Perry was in the midst of performing her 2013 hit 'Roar' at the Chase Center when the prop – on which Perry was rigged – jerked and dropped suddenly. Perry immediately stopped singing and managed to regain her balance and composure, at first looking up at the contraption that connected the butterfly to cables above. As the prop swung, Perry soon began performing the song again. CNN has reached out to representatives for Perry for comment. The near-mishap is at least the second such incident at a major tour this summer, after a flying car prop feratured in Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour tilted midair during a concert in Houston last month. The singer was quickly lowered down and without injury, according to Beyoncé's entertainment and management company at the time.

Katy Perry experienced a frightening moment during her San Francisco stop on the Lifetimes Tour.

Mid-performance, the prop suddenly jerks downward after slipping from its wire, causing a sharp drop that nearly unseats her. Visibly startled, Perry immediately stopped singing and clutched the winged prop to regain her balance as it swayed in the air. Once the butterfly steadied and she regained her composure, she resumed the song and finished the performance strong. After the show, Perry took to social media to react to the mid-air mishap. 'Goodnight San Fran,' she wrote on her Instagram Story, alongside a screen-grab of her terrified expression during the drop. This isn't the 'Firework' hitmaker's first onstage technical issue. During a Lifetimes Tour stop in Australia in late June, a similar malfunction occurred when a flying sphere she was riding began to tilt mid-performance, forcing her to grab onto the support cables for stability, according to People. Perry isn't the only artist to deal with high-flying prop malfunctions recently. Beyoncé also experienced a scare during her Cowboy Carter show in Houston in late June. During a performance of '16 Carriages,' the 'Texas Hold 'Em' singer's suspended car stalled and tilted above the audience at NRG Stadium, causing a brief delay in the show. Perry is currently touring in support of her latest album, 143, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Her next show is scheduled for Monday (July 21) in Seattle, followed by shows in Canada, Europe and South America. The trek, which launched in late April, is set to wrap in early December.
