Katy Perry nearly plunges headfirst into crowd in terrifying stage blunder
Things almost went very wrong for Katy Perry during the latest show of her Lifetimes World Tour. The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker is currently travelling the globe, playing to thousands of fans with her most recent album. It's safe to say the performances have caused quite a stir online, whether it be wardrobe malfunctions or the internet roasting her for 'cringey' dancing. However, when Katy performed in Sydney, Australia, this week, she suffered a whole new level of mishap. During the set, the 40-year-old US star wows the crowd with an aerial spectacle. Allowing fans to get closer to her than ever before, she soars over the pit, suspended by a crane while singing. Mid-song at Qudos Arena, though, it seems the crane tilted unexpectedly, leaving Katy upside down for a second. At risk of plunging headfirst into the sea of people, she was heard exclaiming, 'Oh dear!' during the terrifying incident. Ever the pro, Katy regained composure and soldiered on with the song. She flashed a wave to the arena, reassuring everyone that no harm had been done. But as Katy knows all too well, social media is a beast, meaning it didn't take long for footage to circulate.

'honestly i love that this tour is just her having a fun time', said @ 'This is way funnier than it should be', added @ngcook15. Katy has made plenty of headlines throughout her tour already, one of the latest being when she singled out a man in the Las Vegas crowd. While introducing the song I'm His, He's Mine, she called out the fan for sending messages to her partner, Orlando Bloom, 48, to whom she's been engaged since 2019 and shares daughter Daisy Dove, four, with. 'Cute grin. I know why you're here,' she began. 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man… Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You've been doing it for months, ever since the [Play] residency. 'You didn't come to see me play. 'If you keep on DMing my man, I'm going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life.' Don't worry, it was all a joke, with the fan, Kyle, later revealing to Lad Bible that it was part of a segue for her next song. 'This all started because I asked Katy to sing my favourite deep cut and may have had to call in Orlando for some assistance,' he explained.
