Katy Perry Survives Mid-Air Prop Malfunction San Francisco Concert

During her Lifetimes Tour performance at San Francisco's Chase Center, Katy Perry experienced a frightening malfunction with a flying butterfly-shaped stage prop while performing her song "Roar." The prop suddenly shifted and dropped a few feet, causing Perry to briefly stop singing as she struggled to regain her balance before continuing the performance. Fans compared the incident to a similar near-fall experienced by Beyoncé during her recent tour. Perry later addressed the mishap on social media, sharing a startled photo and joking about the incident. Despite the scare, she maintained professionalism and continued her tour, which supports her 143 album and will run through December. Perry has also been managing personal challenges, including her recent amicable split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, while touring with her 4-year-old daughter.
