Just a day after Beyoncé’s on-stage pop malfunction, Katy Perry experienced her own terrifying moment during her Lifetimes Tour in Australia. The pop star narrowly avoided a dangerous fall after a massive suspended prop malfunctioned mid-performance. The mishap happened just one day after Beyoncé’s “flying Cadillac” prop tilted dangerously during her Cowboy Carter tour.

Katy Perry had entered a large metal sphere designed to lift her above the audience. As it rose, the sphere tilted dangerously to one side. This caused Katy Perry to grab onto its frame to maintain balance. Fans screamed in panic while the crew quickly intervened. Staff cut the music and dimmed the stage lights as they rushed to help her descend. In videos shared online, fans chanted, “Go, Katy!” while the crew safely guided her out of the globe.
One fan posted the dramatic moment on social media, writing, “Wait not Katy Perry almost falling from the giant ball… this is scary asf. Omg it’s scarier than it looked.” Another fan added, “Katy Perry handled it like a queen.”
Beyoncé’s Mishap Spark Safety Concerns
