Katy Perry had a frightening moment on stage Friday night when a flying prop malfunctioned during her performance in San Francisco.
The 40-year-old pop star was in the middle of singing her hit song 'Roar ' while soaring above the crowd on a giant butterfly prop when the mechanism suddenly faltered.
As the butterfly began to drop unexpectedly, Perry urged the audience, 'Sing it now. Sing it!' and held out her microphone. @alexxjennifer someone's getting fired 🫣 #katyperry #lifetimestour #sanfrancisco #katyperrysf #katy #butterfly ♬ original sound – alex 💛
The sudden jolt caused her to momentarily lose balance, prompting gasps and screams from the crowd, which were clearly heard in video footage of the incident.
Perry appeared visibly panicked, with a frightened look on her face, but she quickly recovered her composure. She posted a photo of herself mid-scream during the incident and jokingly captioned it: 'Goodnight San Fran.' Pic: Katy Perry/Instagram
Still clinging to the prop, she powered through the performance, singing, 'You're going to hear me roar,' as the stunned audience looked on.
After the show, Perry took to Instagram Stories to poke fun at the mishap. She posted a photo of herself mid-scream during the incident and jokingly captioned it: 'Goodnight San Fran.'

WATCH: Liam Neeson recalls brilliant Robin Williams story as he discusses favourite comedies

Liam Neeson has told a heartwarming story about Robin Williams when discussing his favourite comedy films. The Co Antrim man takes on the role of Frank Drebin Junior in the latest Naked Gun film, which opens this Friday (August 1), alongside leading lady (and rumoured new partner!) Pamela Anderson. The pair were asked to discuss their four favourite funny films for review app Letterboxd, when Liam mentioned that the Robin Williams classic Mrs Doubtfire is a favourite of his — with him recalling a brilliant story of himself and Robin, as well as a number of others, in a taxi before the comedic legend's death. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Letterboxd (@letterboxd) 'I once shared a taxi with Robin and a few other actors,' Liam explained. 'And he started rapping on some politician. And I remember thinking 'this is maybe what Shakespeare would have been like.' 'Just this incredible stuff just pouring out of his brain and his mouth. He was a genius.' Robin tragically passed away in 2014 after he took his own life following a diagnosis of dementia with lewy bodies (DLB), which caused severe depression. Liam Neeson has told a heartwarming story about Robin Williams when discussing his favourite comedy films. Pic:Liam is taking on the legacy role of Frank Drebin Junior in the fourth film of the classic comedy series, which saw Leslie Nielsen play Detective Frank Drebin alongside OJ Simpson as Detective Nordberg. Leslie passed away back in 2010, while OJ, whose career took a very sharp turn after the Naked Gun, passed away last year. Of course, the big story coming out of the set is that Liam and his leading lady in Pamela Anderson are an apparent couple — with People magazine saying that the stars are enjoying a 'budding romance in the early stages.' The pair sparked speculation about their relationship throughout the press tour for The Naked Gun reboot with fans pre-emptively deciding that they must be more than just good friends. Liam stars as Frank Drebin Junior in the newest Naked Gun film, which releases on Friday. Pic: Paramout Pictures However, neither of the actors have indicated that they are romantically involved with one another but People's source insists that they are currently 'enjoying each other's company'. Liam and Pamela have been full of compliments for each other on the press tour and so far have done well to brush off the series of questions from interviewers about their relationship status. The Naked Gun opens in Irish cinemas on Friday, August 1.
