Katy Perry suffers midair prop malfunction at San Francisco concert
Katy Perry powered through a midair prop malfunction during her concert in San Francisco, California, on Friday night. The pop singer, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was performing her hit song "Roar" while riding a mechanical butterfly above the audience when the prop suddenly dropped a few feet, apparently startling the singer who was singing the start of the chorus, multiple videos posted to social media showed. Perry quickly recomposed herself after a few seconds and continued singing, "and you're gonna hear me roar," one video showed. The butterfly prop continued to fly through the Chase Center arena before setting Perry back on stage. As the song ended and the lights dimmed, she said, "Not today, Satan." Perry's "The Lifetimes Tour" kicked off in April. It includes multiple props where the 40-year-old is suspended in the air. Several artists frequently utilize the cable system to float around during their performances. Last month, Beyoncé also suffered a scary technical malfunction at her first of two "Cowboy Carter" tour. Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet "Teenage Dream." The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album "Bad." Before Perry went on tour, she joined CBS News' Gayle King, journalist and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen on Blue Origin's historic trip to Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dove Cameron Sings to Her ‘Dangerous' Italian Lover on ‘Romeo'
Dove Cameron gets dark and mythical on her new single. On Friday, the pop star released the video for 'Romeo,' her follow-up to earworm 'French Girls,' and just days after her triumphant opening set for Dua Lipa. ''Romeo' is about a love that feels mythic – a love that feels fated, all-consuming and a little dangerous and disarming,' says Cameron in a press release. 'I wrote the song and created the visuals to feel bizarre and otherworldly and purposefully lost in space and time.'

Doechii and Tyler, the Creator Song 'Get Right' Debuts at Louis Vuitton Fashion Show Cameron explains that while 'Romeo' is a love song at its core, it's 'wrapped in the dark undulating production' that she's experimenting with in this new era of her music. 'I've come to love [it] so much,' she says of the new era. 'I'm excited for everyone to hear it.' The Curry Tian-directed video captures Cameron in a series of sexy looks inside a dark, luxurious home as she sings to her lover from a bedroom, surrounded by shadowy dancers. The visuals cut to surreal scenes of her walking through an otherworldly place before she approaches a body seemingly frozen in a glass chamber. By the end, her 'Romeo' slowly comes to life. 'Give u that love you'd kill yourself for/I bleed red so Valentino,' she sings on the catchy chorus. 'No I don't speak Italiano/But I like the way you put it down slow.' (Damiano David, is that you?) According to a press release, the new singles — 'Romeo,' 'French Girls' and February's 'Too Much' — are coming ahead of an 'exciting new chapter of music' from Cameron.
