Katy Perry handled a wardrobe malfunction professionally during her Las Vegas show on May 17. Despite the mishap, she continued performing seamlessly.
American singer Katy Perry handled a wardrobe malfunction during her Las Vegas live performance on May 17 with the utmost professionalism. The Harleys In Hawaii singer is currently on tour for her seventh studio album, 143.
The incident occurred while she was performing her 2010 hit, Part of Me, at the T-Mobile Arena. In a video going viral, Perry was seen running across the stage when the clasp of her bejewelled bra broke. Despite the mishap, the pop star remained composed and continued her performance with the same zeal.
'Oh, sh**, my bra's going to come off," Perry joked to the crowd as her band continued with an instrumental break. She navigated through her stilt-walking backup dancers, maintaining high energy despite the malfunction. At one point, she called out to her assistant, Patrick, asking him to 'put her bra back on." However, she danced through the moment, flaunting the flapping straps of the malfunctioning costume piece.
Showing the confidence gained from over 15 years in the pop industry, Perry seamlessly resumed her choreography once her bra was secured, starting from where she had left – the chorus of Part of Me.
Katy Perry is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions
During the filming of American Idol last year, the Hot N Cold singer experienced a significant wardrobe issue, causing her to duck under the judges' table and cover herself with a pillow. In one Instagram video, she joked, 'I need my top to stay on. If it's not fixed, this show is going to get more than it wanted."
Since April, Katy Perry has been on the road for her seventh studio album, embarking on The Lifetimes Tour—named after its lead single. The tour started in Mexico City and is set to span the United States, Canada, South America, and Europe, with short stops in China and the United Arab Emirates. It is scheduled to wrap up in December.
