stopped mid-song during her recent Lifetime Tour in Detroit after one of her fans in the crowd collapsed. Rather than simply continuing to sing, the singer paused, calmly spoke to the audience, and asked everyone to assist as the crew hurried over.
The fan, McKenna, fainted as soon as Perry invited her on stage.
A fan faints, so Katy Perry stops the performance
When Perry invited McKenna and her friend to the stage, the fan fainted as the singer embraced her. After calling for medical assistance, Perry spoke to the crowd and urged them to chant McKenna's name while he waited. She resumed the concert after the staff had assisted her and everything appeared to be under control.
"Sometimes you're so brave and you can get on stage, and it's overwhelming," Katy Perry said in response to the incident.
"I understand that feeling." Later in the show, she even gave an update on the fan, saying, "McKenna's doing great by the way."
That pause resonated, but the rest of the show returned with full force. Social media users shared videos from the evening, and they commended the Firework singer for prioritizing safety and maintaining calm in a demanding, complex tour environment.

Katy Perry spends quality time with daughter backstage during her Lifetimes Tour
Singer-songwriter Katy Perry is known for her electrifying stage presence in her live shows. However, the singer recently had a blast backstage with her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom. Katy Perry shares her daughter with Orlando Bloom . The mother-daughter duo enjoyed some fun hanging out at New York City's Madison Square Garden amid Katy Perry's ongoing Lifetimes tour, reports People magazine. The singer-songwriter recently shared a sweet snap of her little girl dressed up like a mini-me version of the 'Firework' singer, clad in a belted rainbow striped metallic dress, white socks and black Mary Jane shoes. As per People, the little cutie was playing with a small puppy toy complete with a leash as her proud mom looked on, grinning. Perry, 40, rocked thigh-high black boots and a rust-colored strapless dress. "East coast I love you. Sorry I wrote a song about the West Coast being better but here's a East Coast splat to make up for it", the singer captioned the images from her recent tour stops on Instagram. "LAST 5 US SHOWS START NOW RALEIGH, NASHVILLE, ATLANTA, TAMPA, MIAMI (sic)". In another photo included in the carousel, Daisy is seen lying down inside of a lunar module (perhaps searching for "E.T."?) at Boston's Museum of Science. And Daisy wasn't the only one Perry brought along on her travels. The singer also shared an adorable video of her and ex Bloom's dog, Nugget, deeply sleeping on a couch, asking, "Nugget, are you good? Did you have a long night?" The 'I Kissed a Girl' singer performed at MSG on August 11 as a part of her Lifetimes tour. She sold out the 19,500-seat arena despite speculation that it wouldn't be possible. As the Grammy-nominated performer greeted the crowd, she began, "They said, 'No way! MSG, it couldn't be done'. And I was scared too". She then joked that she was scared she'd be eating a "hot dog from the corner" rather than performing a sold-out show.

Ai Weiwei in Ukraine
Weeks before his new art installation is unveiled in Kyiv, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei visited Ukraine. Photographs posted by him on Instagram show him in Kharkiv, a city in northeast Ukraine. Among others are photographs of a Ukrainian flag billowing in the wind, sunflower fields, local cats and the artist with Ukrainian soldiers. He also met Ukrainian writer, musician and activist Serhiy Zhadan, businessman and Khartia commander Vsevolod Kozhemyako, footballer Andriy Shevchenko and artist Hamlet Zinkovsky. Though Ai Weiwei did not caption his photographs, Russian-Canadian artist-activist Pyotr Verzilov shared his photographs with Ai Weiwei alongside some details of the visit. He wrote, 'The chief artist of modernity, one of the pillars of world culture, the symbol of modern art Ai Weiwei came to us at the frontline in the very heart of the war, on combat positions north of the beautiful city of Kharkiv…. The great Ai Weiwei — smart, cheeky and brave — as the number one cultural figure on Earth should be.' The politically conscious artist and activist, who has often commented on geopolitical and humanitarian concerns through his works and otherwise, will be showing his work at Kyiv's Pavilion 13, a former Soviet-era exposition hall that has now been renovated into a multi-disciplinary arts space. Titled Three Perfectly Proportioned Spheres and Camouflage Uniforms Painted White, its metal structure is made of spherical forms that also comprised another Ai Weiwei work, Divina Proportione (2004–12), which was inspired by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci's illustrations for an eponymous book on mathematics, written by Luca Pacioli. Commissioned by Ribbon International, a not-for-profit organisation, according to its social media account, '… the work reflects on Enlightenment ideals of rationality — and how those frameworks are co-opted in a world shaped by conflict and concealment. Speaking about it, Ai Weiwei stated, 'That is the challenge, to build new works relating to what I feel, to me in the past and to the current situation. Art is more metaphysical. You cannot really give every description, but you can always suggest a gesture or attitude or some kind of symbolic meaning, more like a poetic gesture.'
