Katy Perry Halts Mid-Performance As Young Fan Faints On Stage
Katy Perry paused her Detroit concert to help a young fan who fainted. She reassured the crowd and resumed once the fan was safe.
Katy Perry's concert in Detroit took an emotional turn when a young fan fainted on stage mid-show. The popular singer immediately stopped her performance and called for help. The incident happened on Sunday night during the 13th show of her Lifetimes Tour in North America.
The fan, later identified as McKenna, had been invited on stage by Perry. But just moments later, she collapsed. Perry quickly paused the music and calmly asked for medical assistance.
As paramedics arrived, Katy encouraged the crowd to cheer for McKenna. 'McKenna's doing great by the way," she told the audience, reassuring everyone before continuing the show. A video of the moment has now gone viral on social media, with fans praising Perry for how gracefully she handled the situation.
Take a look here:

The pop star also spoke about how overwhelming it can be for young fans to be on stage. 'Sometimes you're so brave and you can get on stage, and it's overwhelming. I understand that feeling," she said. Once McKenna was safe and looked after, the concert continued as planned.
Katy's Lifetimes Tour began in Mexico City and will next head to Toronto.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have sparked major buzz online after they were spotted enjoying a cozy dinner in Montreal. The pop sensation and the former Canadian Prime Minister were seen dining at the upscale Le Violon restaurant, just days after Perry's split from Orlando Bloom made headlines again.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Katy appeared engaged in a deep conversation with Trudeau, leaning in attentively across the table. An eyewitness shared that the two looked relaxed as they sipped on cocktails and sampled a variety of dishes, including a lobster preparation.

Security guards, stationed discreetly at the bar, reportedly kept a watchful eye on the duo throughout the evening, observing the scene through mirrored glass. The date didn't end with dinner — both Katy and Trudeau reportedly made their way to the restaurant's kitchen to personally thank the staff and chef after the meal.
Katy Perry has been focusing on herself since parting ways with actor Orlando Bloom. The two, who have a daughter together, are said to be co-parenting after their quiet split. On the other hand, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also went through a major change in his personal life. In August 2023, he and his wife Sophie Grégoire announced their separation after 18 years of marriage. They released a joint statement at the time, calling it a mutual and respectful decision.

Jeremy Renner On Ex-Wife's ‘Clickbait' Threat Allegations: ‘It Hurts My Feelings'
Last Updated: Sonni Pacheco had accused Jeremy Renner of drug use and of leaving cocaine within reach of their child, Ava. Jeremy Renner, widely known for his role as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, opened up about a turbulent period in his life involving his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco. In a recent interview, the actor addressed the serious allegations that surfaced during their contentious divorce and custody battle in 2019. Renner and Pacheco, 37, were married for just ten months before she filed for divorce in December 2014. During their custody battle, Pacheco alleged that Renner had threatened both her and himself, claiming, among other incidents, that he placed a gun in his mouth and fired into the ceiling while their daughter, Ava, was in another room, according to TMZ. She also accused him of drug use and of leaving cocaine within reach of their child. Renner has consistently denied all of the allegations, both at the time and in the years since. 'Whatever stress I've had in life, I've tried to find a way of laughing through it. And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out — you think, 'I'm just going to have a laugh at this stuff'," he said in an interview with The Guardian. When asked to clarify what 'stuff," the 54-year-old actor responded, 'Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody." Renner confirmed that he was speaking about Pacheco's allegations and insisted that there wasn't any truth to the public claims. 'No, and they happen all the time. It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanises people," he said. Pacheco had filed for sole custody of their daughter, Ava, during the divorce proceedings. Despite the legal tensions, Renner said he was not overly concerned about the outcome. 'That's just lawyers talking. That's lawyers arguing. The custody was easy," he said. The former couple now share joint custody of Ava, who is currently 12 years old. Renner said that his relationship with Pacheco has improved since their separation. He shared that they remain present in each other's lives in a positive way. 'Her mom and I get along very well, and we're in each other's lives. It's lovely," the 28 Weeks Later actor said. Pacheco welcomed a daughter named Wylder with professional hockey player Nate Thompson in March 2023. Renner shared that she often sends him 'beautiful pictures" of the baby. Renner further stated that he prefers to keep his private life away from the spotlight. He said that public speculation does not affect him the way it once might have. 'It doesn't matter to me what people say. They're saying it for their own reasons and not for the right reasons or the truth," he shared. The Wind River star also shared that he does not engage with public commentary online, saying, 'I don't read people's reviews, I don't read people's comments. I don't care. That's not part of my life." When asked if he is currently dating, Renner said he is not seeing anyone 'at the moment." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
