Just a day after Beyonce made headlines over her prop malfunctioning, fellow pop star Katy Perry faced a major scare during her Lifetimes Tour in Australia. The singer narrowly escaped a fall after her stage prop malfunctioned. During the show, Perry climbed into a huge metal sphere suspended on cables above the stage. However, as the sphere was lifted from the ground and into the air, it began to tilt to one side, causing the singer to hold on to the frame. The incident had fans screaming while crew members cut the music and dimmed the lights to assist the singer and help her get out of the prop. Videos show the crowds chanting “Go, Katy!” as the singer, with the help of her crew, climbed out of the metal globe and down to safety.The dramatic rescue was caught on video by fans and posted online, with one commenting, “Wait not Katy Perry almost falling from the giant ball.. this is scary asf. Omg it’s scarier than it looked.” Another shared the clip and commented, “Katy Perry handled it like a queen.”Fans online were quick to compare the incident to Beyonce’s recent mishap, where her ‘flying’ red Cadillac prop began tilting dangerously to one side during her Cowboy Carter tour, prompting her to stop the performance and alert her team to get her down to safety.The two back-to-back stage scares involving the pop stars, have reignited conversations around the safety of fans and celebrities. One fan commented, “Main pop girlies literally risking life to put on a show!” Another wrote, “Thank God it didn’t happen when she was high up in the air.”
