Pop sensation Katy Perry had a close shave during her Lifetimes Tour performance in San Francisco, when a mechanical malfunction caused a giant butterfly prop she was riding to suddenly drop several feet while suspended over the crowd. The video of the incident is grabbing eyeballs on social media. The incident unfolded during her performance of Roar. The viral video shows Perry singing atop the large, winged structure when it unexpectedly tilts forward, sending her slipping from her seat mid-song. The singer momentarily stopped performing as fans below gasped in shock. However, the prop stabilised just in time, preventing a serious accident. Perry then quickly raised her hand to signal she was okay before resuming her performance.

'On the upside the taped song kept on going. Next up they'll replace these 'idols' with robots. It'll be cheaper, more consistent, and no problems with drugs and alcohol use,' a user wrote. 'I'm sorry that's actually so scary, when will artists learn to not use these types of props,' another user commented. 'For someone who blasted off into space I feel that drop was miniscule in comparison,' a third user reacted. Later, Perry addressed the moment on her Instagram Stories, posting a blurry close-up of her expression, captioned, 'Good Night San Fran.' This isn't the first time a high-profile stage prop has caused alarm. Last month, Beyoncé experienced a technical glitch during her Cowboy Carter tour stop in Houston. During her performance of 16 Carriages at NRG Stadium, a flying car prop began to tilt dangerously mid-air, sparking concern among fans. Beyoncé was safely lowered to the stage. She later reassured the crowd with a smile, saying, 'If I ever fall I know y'all would catch me.'

Beyoncé's unreleased music stolen from car at Cowboy Carter tour stop
Beyoncé's unreleased music has been stolen from a car during her Cowboy Carter tour stop, local police have said. The car – which was also looted of laptops and show plans – was being rented by the 43-year-old's choreographer and a dancer in Atlanta. Beyoncé was about to begin her four-day stint of concerts in the US city when two suitcases were stolen from the SUV on Tuesday (July 8). An Atlanta police report said the Jeep Wagoneer's back windows were smashed in (via CNN). Two laptops, Apple headphones and luxury clothes were stolen, as well as hard drives that contained the unreleased music. The stolen thumb drives also held footage plans and future set lists, the police report stated. The theft was caught on CCTV and an arrest warrant has been issued for an unidentified suspect, police said. In April the US superstar kicked off her Cowboy Carter world tour, which is scheduled to end on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada. Beyoncé is next heading to Las Vegas. After recently struggling to sell out her six shows in London during the UK leg of her tour, the singer faced a 'mishap' during a performance in Houston, Texas. Beyoncé was performing her song 16 Carriages on a car suspended above concertgoers at NRG Stadium when videos captured by those in the crowd showed the prop began to tilt mid-air. The Lemonade hitmaker was seen sitting on top of the red convertible as it began to slant at a sharp angle in the air.

Some in the crowd also began screaming. Remaining suspended in the air, she looked at the ground and up again before smiling at the crowd as they cheered. The singer was wearing a harness and held onto one of the cables attached to the car as it tilted. After a few seconds, she then told them 'thank y'all for your patience', before the car was lowered into the centre of the stadium. More Trending After the show Beyoncé's production and management company, Parkwood, released a statement regarding the incident. 'Tonight, in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium and see her fans up close, to tilt,' they shared on Instagram. 'She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.' Metro contacted Beyoncé's team for comment. Got a story?

Bey debuts gold horse during tour as she swaps out perilous Cadillac prop
Beyonce debuted a mechanical gold horse on stage in Atlanta on Thursday after previously using a red Cadillac convertible. The singer would usually suspend over the crowd in the car although the Cadillac prop suddenly tilted amid her June 28 concert in Houston which caused the singer to abruptly stop the show. It is not the first time that the singer, 43, has used a horse as a prop while performing on stage. During 2023 during her Renaissance Tour, Beyonce used a sparkling silver horse - which mimicked her Renaissance album cover. She kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour earlier this year in April - and is in support of her eighth studio album of the same name which was released in 2024. She is set to perform two additional dates in Atlanta on Sunday, July 13 and the following Monday. The singer will then travel to Las Vegas later this month where the tour will conclude on July 26 at Allegiant Stadium. Late last month, the mom-of-three was forced to abruptly stop her show after the flying car she was riding on seemingly began to tilt midair. The moment occurred at her Houston concert on June 28 and stunned audience members, who had captured it on video. The red convertible, which is normally in an upright position, could be seen at an obvious slant as she soared through the air during her 16 Carriages performance. 'Stop,' Beyonce could be heard sternly saying. 'Stop, stop, stop,' she further commanded, concern evident in her voice. The crowd inside then grew quiet before they erupted into a mixture of yelling and cheering. The vehicle, which was attached to various cables, was slowly and safely brought back down to the stage. It's unclear what exactly occurred but according to various social media accounts, her car began to tilt in the air. According to the Houston Chronicle, her car had stopped moving midair. contacted representatives for Beyonce for comment but did not immediately hear back. According to Hot New Hip Hop, Beyonce left the stage floor briefly after her car was properly lowered to the ground before coming back to wrap up the performance. The singer then resumed performing her song and thanked her fans with a heartfelt message. 'I wanna thank y'all,' she told the audience, adding, 'for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me.' The Cowboy Carter Tour, officially titled Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, is Beyonce's ongoing concert tour in support of her album Cowboy Carter. It's an all-stadium tour, featuring 32 stadium shows in the U.S. and Europe - and will conclude on July 26 in Nevada.

Beyoncé Debuts a Golden Horse Prop on ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour
As Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour continues hitting stadiums across the U.S. this summer, the 35-time Grammy winner is still surprising fans with newness. During her first of four sold-out shows in Atlanta on July 10, Bey performed her western-inspired ballad, '16 Carriages,' on a golden mechanical horse that floated over the crowd so she could get up close and personal with fans. Once members of the BeyHive caught clips of her performance on social media, they pointed out that it was a new addition to her instantly iconic stadium tour. 'The horse was chewing on the car wires bc it wanted to be let out!!! I get it!' one fan jokingly wrote, while another added, 'One thing this lady will never do is stay out the damn sky.' Others even likened the metallic horse to the one featured on the singer's Renaissance album cover, who is jokingly referred to as 'Reneigh' across the fan base. 'IS THIS RENEIGH? WHAT IS HER NAME, Y'ALL!?' someone commented under Beyoncé's Instagram post. In case you somehow missed Bey's concert videos on your social feeds, the show originally featured a floating vintage car during the segment. The 'Break My Soul' hitmaker swapped the original prop for a mechanical horse after the vehicle had tipped over during her hometown show in Houston on June 29. She instructed the stadium's technicians to cut the music as she repeatedly said 'Stop' during the performance. According to fan-captured footage, she was then safely lowered from the air after the frightening mishap. Her team issued a statement on the matter the same night, writing, 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.' Because of the accident, Beyoncé cut '16 Carriages' from the setlist during her shows in Washington, D.C. Her performance in Atlanta marks the first time the track was performed since #CowboyCarGate in Houston. Hopefully, her horse safely glides her across future stadiums without fault.
