Katy Perry left dangling midair in terrifying concert stage malfunction
During her concert in San Francisco, video taken by a fan showed the pop superstar flying over the audience on a massive butterfly prop when it malfunctioned mid-performance.
The prop dropped suddenly, jerking Perry and causing her to cling onto it as it continued moving above the crowd.
She stopped singing, looking visibly panicked. The "Teenage Dream" singer was heard letting out a yelp when the machine dropped. She immediately looked up at the wires the prop was strapped to.
Despite the malfunction, the seasoned performer kept her composure and soon continued to sing to her fans.
The comments section was flooded with mixed reactions towards Perry and her jaw-dropping performance.
"Having things like this fly over the crowd is a huge safety hazard for the artist AND the fans," one comment read.
Another person wrote, "She handled it like a pro, barely skipped a beat, but it should've never happened."
"She's an astronaut she can deal with a little turbulence," a user commented.
Perry's prop malfunction isn't the first bizarre moment that happened at her concerts.
In June, her show in Sydney, Australia took an abrupt turn after a fan approached her on stage.

He stormed the stage during Perry's performance of "Hot N Cold" and grabbed her shoulder.
Perry was caught off guard and yelped before she swerved to dodge his arm. The man was then seen jumping with the crowd.
She continued with her performance as the fan began to dance on stage. Two security guards chased the man offstage, as another staff member walked behind them. The man was ultimately removed by additional security personnel.
The disruptive fan was later arrested and charged with two offenses after he ambushed the pop star at the concert, police confirmed with Fox News Digital at the time.
"The man was arrested by police and taken to Auburn Police Station where he was charged with two offenses - [entering] enclosed lands - not prescribed premises and [obstructing] person in performance of work or duties," the statement from Burwood Police Area Command read.
The disruptive fan was granted conditional bail and was additionally issued a six-month banning notice for the Sydney Olympic Park precinct.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH Trailer Teases Fiery Battles, Evil Na'vi, and Jake Sully's Next Fight — GeekTyrant
James Cameron has finally lifted the curtain on Avatar: Fire and Ash , and it looks like it's going to deliver another epic story. The first trailer for the third Avatar film is going to be visually spectacular, and the story is going to dive headfirst into darker, more emotionally charged territory. The film brings back Jake Sully and Neytiri as they rally their family and allies against a new Na'vi threat: the Ash People. These fearsome, soot-covered warriors are introduced in the trailer dancing around a blazing fire pit, setting the tone for a movie that leans into chaos, destruction, and rising tension between the clans. 'You'll see a lot more Pandora that you never saw before,' Cameron previously said at D23. 'It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before. We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love.' Oona Chaplin makes her debut as Varang, the Ash People's commanding and ominous leader. The trailer shows her raining fire down on Pandora's lush forests, with her clan now allied with Stephen Lang's returning villain, Quaritch. As expected, the visuals are jaw-dropping, blending Pandora's familiar beauty with new volcanic landscapes and explosive fire sequences. The Ash People's aesthetic is a stark contrast to the oceanic Metkayina from The Way of Water , and Cameron has hinted that their aggression and ambition outmatch anything we've seen before. 'There are new characters, one especially I think you're gonna love, or love to hate,' he teased. The returning cast includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, Edie Falco, and Dileep Rao, along with younger actors like Britain Dalton, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, and Bailey Bass. New faces joining the fight include Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis. The Way of Water and Fire and Ash were originally written as one massive film, but Cameron split them after realizing the story needed more room to breathe. The result is a saga that grows in scope with each chapter while pushing its characters into darker, more complex emotional territory. There's no doubt that Fire and Ash will raise the stakes for Jake Sully's family and expand the mythology of Pandora in bold new ways. The movie is set for release on December 19, 2025.
