The large flying prop appeared to slow down significantly as it made its way across the arena.
MailOnline have contacted Katy's reps for comment.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were quick to share the shock at the moment, with many comparing it to a similar incident that Beyoncé suffered last month.

According to an account from People, she continued, 'I let you choose the song tonight because I like to pick an album for every country that I go to and for the USA, I picked Teenage Dream because USA, you could be a teenage dream, baby. You better get it together. I'll always have that feeling for you.'
Per the outlet, she candidly added, 'This next song I wrote in my 20s … after my first divorce,' before promising she would 'try and hold my composure while I sing it a week before my period.'

Perry's caption to her 203 million followers began, 'HOMETOWN SHOW AT THE FORUM TONIGHT‼️'
Showing her sense of humor, she then added, 'Ecstatic to play a show for ALL the Angelenos including my best friends, my business partners, mom, dad, my ear nose and throat doctor, my dog groomer, my MDMA therapist, my acupuncturist, my manicurist, the teacher from the yoga class I went to in 2015, the uber eats guy that that delivered my brisket breakfast burrito this morning from Dialog Cafe and all the friends that are friends with someone that knows Tamra.'
While Orlando wasn't present for the performance, his ex-wife Miranda Kerr was in attendance.
Perry and Bloom confirmed their breakup this month, after swirling speculation about their relationship status.
The pair began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019, before welcoming their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. Bloom is also dad to 14-year-old son Flynn, whom he shares with Kerr.
Representatives for the pair told DailyMail.com that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.'
The split was optically cemented when Orlando attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded Venice wedding alone.

Billionaire Tyler Perry fired his aunt and financially cut off family members: I'm not 'welfare'
Nepotism only goes so far with Tyler Perry. The entertainment mogul, 55, explained Sunday how he once fired a close relative because she wasn't taking a job he hired for seriously. Perry appeared on the YouTube show Den of Kings, speaking with host Kirk Franklin - a 20-time Grammy winner and Gospel music icon - and guests Derek Hayes and Jay 'Jeezy' Jenkins on the topic of being a boss. Perry explained how he had an aunt who told him that 'she wanted a job' after he told her that he didn't want her living off his wealth without making some sort of contribution. 'She would always call asking for money, I would send her the money,' said Perry, who was in the headlines recently denying claims of sexual harassment brought against him by an actor. Perry said that he told his aunt, 'Listen, I want to help you - I want to help you build this thing, not be welfare to you - so, let me give you a job.' Tyler Perry, 55, explained how he once fired a close relative because she wasn't taking a job he hired for seriously Unfortunately, according to the Madea creator - who Forbes estimates is worth $1.4 billion - the position he gave his aunt didn't work out, as he had to fire her for repeated no shows. He said he expressed his frustration with his aunt, who assumed their family connection would protect her from the consequences of not showing up to work. Perry said he fired his aunt personally, informing her, 'Well, you gotta go, because you want me to hand you the money, but you don't want to work for it. 'See, that doesn't work for me.' He added that he was raising his son Aman, 10, with similar values, making him finish chores before providing him with an allowance. 'I don't believe in giving us things that are just going to handicap us - that is the worst thing you can do,' said Perry. The billionaire producer said that the 2009 death of his mother Maxine prompted action in this area of his life, as he told a number of relatives (she had asked him to support) to start looking for a job. Perry said he informed multiple relatives via letter that he would cease providing them with financial support in 60 days, and encouraged them to find work. Perry said he told the relatives in question, 'I'm not going to keep supporting you like that,' leading some to find work. He added, 'And it wasn't even, like, jobs where they made a lot of money, but it was a job. 'It was something else for them to do, feel some pride in. That's the same thing I would want someone to do for me.'

‘Fantastic Four' film feels like a beginning for Marvel's first family
LOS ANGELES, July 23 (Reuters) - For actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the superhero film 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' is different from other Marvel films because it is centered on a close-knit family. 'Our movie is about a family that's been a family for many years, and they undergo this transformation together, which brings them even closer,' said Moss-Bachrach, who plays the character made of rocks named The Thing. 'The Bear' actor added that love is at the heart of the movie, especially when it comes to being in a 'precarious situation' as 'the custodians of the world.' Echoing this, Pedro Pascal, who plays the super stretchy scientist Reed Richards, feels like the cast is like a family. 'We're in our family and kind of holding hands together, waiting for the movie to be released into the world,' he said. Disney's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" introduces Marvel's first family as they face the cosmic threat of Galactus, an intergalactic planet eater, in a futuristic 1960s-inspired world. Joining Moss-Bachrach and Pascal are cast members Vanessa Kirby, who plays Reed's wife with invisibility powers named Sue Storm, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, who has fire powers. 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' which scored a positive 87% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, arrives in theaters on Thursday. 'True to its subtitle, the film feels like a fresh start,' Peter Debruge of Variety wrote in a review. Pascal feels the key to stepping into his popular roles in projects like 'Game of Thrones,' 'The Mandalorian' and 'The Last of Us' has been studying the content. 'I love paying attention to the legacy of characters and the legacy of material that you're stepping into. I love being a part of an adaptation or something that has previous authorship, because it helps me,' he said. Daniel Loria, senior vice president at Boxoffice predicts that 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' will open domestically at $115 to $135 million. While sales are currently around $115 to $125 million, he noted an increase in ticket purchases over the last week that will likely draw closer to the $115 to $135 million range. For director Matt Shakman, the film is a celebration of firsts in several different ways. 'The DNA of the 'Fantastic Four' is the space race. So, first steps is an obvious reference to Neil Armstrong, and one small step for mankind,' he said. 'But it's also baby first steps, you know. So, the idea of what having a baby will do to a family and changing a family. Also, about first steps for Marvel's first family in the MCU, bringing them into the MCU for the first time,' he added.
