Katy Perry has gone viral after dramatically knocking a fan's Labubu toy out of their hand during her Lifetimes tour in Australia.
The American pop star, 39, was captured on TikTok marching towards fans mid-song while carrying a tray of Tim Tams during a performance of her emotional ballad, I'm Still Breathing.
As she made her way along the crowd barrier, a fan held out a collectible Labubu toy box - a popular figure from Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung's The Monsters series.
Katy quickly took notice, locked eyes with the toy, then abruptly swatted it out of the fan's hand with her microphone.
'I'm still - NO LABUBUS!' she belted theatrically, before crouching down to hand out Tim Tams to the crowd, urging them to use 'gentle hands.'

The moment has since gone viral and racked up more than 157,000 views and sparked wild reactions online.
The fan who had the toy even surfaced in the comments, writing: 'omg this is the Labubu she slapped.'
One user joked: 'The way I would've caught that like Robbie Rotten with a net.'
Unbothered by the stir, Katy herself chimed in on the viral clip, leaving a cheeky comment featuring three devil emojis.
While it's unclear why she appears to have beef with the cult figurine, the Labubu craze has polarised collectors and fans
The character - a furry, big-eyed creature - originates from a storybook by Kasing Lung and has become a global sensation thanks to collectible blind boxes by Pop Mart.
Its popularity has exploded in recent years, with scalpers cashing in and prices soaring, much to the frustration of some fans.
'Honestly, One Of The Boys-era Katy would've frothed on Labubus,' joked another viewer, referencing her 2008 debut.
It comes as rumours ramp up that Katy has split with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
The Roar hitmaker, 40, is currently Down Under on her Australian tour and has been accompanied by her daughter Daisy Dove, four.
They were recently joined by Orlando, 48, who was seen walking around Perth's CBD with Daisy over the weekend.
Despite their reunion, Katy looked glum as she spent time with her entourage on the luxury yacht in Perth, just hours before it was reported Orlando was set to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding as a 'single man '.
The pop star kept a low profile as she wore dark sunglasses and a black bandana while chatting to guests on the boat.
Katy and Orlando have been at the centre of intense split speculation during her tour of Australia, and the pop star fuelled rumours even more after making a recent telling comment onstage.
The American singer was performing the third of her Sydney concerts when she was handed a packet of Tim Tam chocolate biscuits.
She was in the middle of her performance of I'm Still Breathing when she opened the packet and ate one of the treats.
'This song is about a breakup, and this Tim Tam saved me,' she told the crowd during the brief interlude.
'Thank you,' she added, before launching back into the track while kneeling down and offering the biscuits to audience members in the front row.
Meanwhile, Orlando further fuelled split rumours ahead of BFF Bezos' wedding to Sanchez.
The actor, who will attend the billionaire's Italian nuptials without Katy amid escalating tension rumours, may make his debut as 'a single man' at the nuptials, a source told TMZ.
The insider said: 'He's the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' and added he may even 'sneak away with Leonardo DiCaprio for some bar crawling.'
Another source said: '90 per cent of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10 per cent are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos). It's gonna be a great party!'
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Orlando and Katy for comment.
This comes after it was revealed Katy would miss the wedding due to her ongoing Lifetimes tour in Australia.
The three-day wedding celebration will reportedly take place from June 24 to 26 in Venice, Italy, while Katy is set to be on the other side of the world.
Katy had shows in Perth, Australia on June 22 and 23, followed by a concert on June 26 in Adelaide.
She first announced the Australian tour in September 2024, and though it did not initially include the 23 and 26 dates, they were added within the following weeks.
