Katy Perry pokes fun at herself after almost FALLING out of the air as flying prop malfunctions in heart-stopping moment that leaves fans panicking during San Francisco gig
Katy Perry has poked fun at herself after almost falling out of the air during a performance in San Francisco on Friday. Fans were left panicked as they captured the heart-stopping moment when the 40-year-old singer belted out her hit song Roar while soaring through the sky on a mechanical butterfly. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Katy found humour in the situation as she shared a series of snaps poking fun at the incident. Captioning a set of photos that showed the contrast of the day, she wrote: 'How the LA show started ➡️ how the LA show ended.' The first snap showed Katy relaxing in a bathtub, before cutting to some behind-the-scenes snaps of the show. It then switched to footage of Katy plunging downwards on the flying stage prop above the audience, followed by a clip of her walking out of the arena in her dressing gown, looking noticeably shaken. Katy also shared a snap on her Stories of the fall, with the caption: 'Goodnight San Francisco.' On Friday, Katy who was dressed in a sparkling crop top and hot pants, initially looked at ease as she glided over the crowds at the Chase Center while singing her track amid her The Lifetimes Tour. However, things took a turn for the worst as she suddenly plunged downwards as the flying stage prop appeared to malfunction. The US songstress, who was strapped in, was seen looking horrified as she grabbed onto mechanical insect and attempted to steady herself, before looking upwards to see what was wrong. Amid the incident, Katy stopped singing as she tried to compose herself, before she then continued with her performance. The large flying prop appeared to slow down significantly as it made its way across the arena. MailOnline have contacted Katy's reps for comment. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were quick to share the shock at the moment, with many comparing it to a similar incident that Beyoncé suffered last month. The Halo singer, 43, almost fell out of her flying car prop which had tilted forward while she performed in Houston amid her Cowboy Carter tour. Fans wrote: 'First beyonce and now katy perry, next its gonna be usher being sent into outer orbit.'x 'First Beyoncé now Katy Perry' 'The professionalism here is beyond insane like that could've easily cost your life but Katy didn't panic and she kept the show going.... Katy Perry is hands down one of the best performers of our generation.' 'sorry katy perry is such a pro, i would have just cried and sh*t myself atm.' 'Katy Perry almost fell ON TOP of me while flying on that butterfly. This concert is WILD.' Katy's dangerous moment comes after she was left overwhelmed with emotion during her Lifetimes tour stop in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. The pop star alluded to her recent breakup with now-ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom while obliging fans' request for her to sing her heartbreak ballad Not Like the Movies. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were quick to share the shock at the moment, with many comparing it to a similar incident that Beyoncé suffered last month During the show the show in the city's Inglewood neighborhood, she asked the audience: 'You're gonna make me sing this song in this time in my life? OK, we'll do it! Because you voted for it.' According to an account from People, she continued, 'I let you choose the song tonight because I like to pick an album for every country that I go to and for the USA, I picked Teenage Dream because USA, you could be a teenage dream, baby. You better get it together. I'll always have that feeling for you.' Per the outlet, she candidly added, 'This next song I wrote in my 20s … after my first divorce,' before promising she would 'try and hold my composure while I sing it a week before my period.' Earlier in the day she had snubbed Bloom in her Instagram post promoting the concert. She listed everyone who would be in attendance for the show in her native Los Angeles, and missing from the special guests was the 48-year-old actor. Perry's caption to her 203 million followers began, 'HOMETOWN SHOW AT THE FORUM TONIGHT‼️' Showing her sense of humor, she then added, 'Ecstatic to play a show for ALL the Angelenos including my best friends, my business partners, mom, dad, my ear nose and throat doctor, my dog groomer, my MDMA therapist, my acupuncturist, my manicurist, the teacher from the yoga class I went to in 2015, the uber eats guy that that delivered my brisket breakfast burrito this morning from Dialog Cafe and all the friends that are friends with someone that knows Tamra.' While Orlando wasn't present for the performance, his ex-wife Miranda Kerr was in attendance. Perry and Bloom confirmed their breakup this month, after swirling speculation about their relationship status. The pair began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019, before welcoming their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. Bloom is also dad to 14-year-old son Flynn, whom he shares with Kerr. Representatives for the pair told that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' The split was optically cemented when Orlando attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded Venice wedding alone.

Katy Perry falls mid-air after butterfly prop malfunctions onstage in San Francisco
ALBAWABA - During her stop in San Francisco on the Lifetimes Tour, Katy Perry had a scary incident. The 40-year-old pop star was singing at the Chase Center on Friday, July 18. She was sitting on a flying butterfly prop when it broke down in the air, almost sending her flying into the crowd below. A fan recorded a video that was shared on X that shows Perry singing her 2013 number one hit "Roar" while flying above the crowd.

Perry stopped singing and grabbed the flying object to steady herself as it moved in the air. She looked startled. As soon as it calmed down, she went back to singing the song and finished the show strong. Perry talked about the accident in the air on social media after the show. "Goodnight, San Francisco," she wrote on her Instagram Story, along with a screenshot of how scared she looked as the bomb went off. INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JULY 15: Katy Perry (/AFP) This is not the first time the "Firework" singer has had a technical problem on stage.

The flying sphere she was riding started to tilt in the middle of her performance, causing her to grab onto the support cables to stay steady. Katy Perry isn't the only artist who has had problems with flying props lately. Beyoncé also had a scary moment at her Cowboy Carter show in Houston at the end of June. The "Texas Hold 'Em" singer's suspended car stopped and tilted above the crowd at NRG Stadium during a performance of "16 Carriages." This caused a short delay in the show.
