Katy Perry experienced two separate stage malfunctions during her 2025 concert tour. On June 29, during a performance at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Australia, Perry was suspended inside a large metal sphere designed to hover above the audience when the sphere tilted unexpectedly, causing her to nearly fall and become trapped momentarily. Fans expressed concern as she dangled from the ceiling before the situation was resolved safely. Later, on July 18 in San Francisco, Perry faced another incident involving a flying butterfly prop. The prop malfunctioned mid-air, causing her to almost fall, which led to a brief interruption of her performance. Despite these incidents, Perry regained her composure and continued the show.
