Katy Perry had a major scare while in San Francisco on Friday.

The pop star made a stop at the Chase Center as part of her Lifetimes Tour and was performing her “Roar” hit track when the butterfly-themed prop she was riding malfunctioned.

Perry was seated atop the rig, which was suspended in midair, when it suddenly tilted, forcing her to cling on as she slipped, with gasps coming from the audience.

The video below was recorded by a fan and shows the 40-year-old pausing, looking visibly shaken. She eventually signaled to the crowd that she was okay as the prop continued moving, resuming her performance.

Friday’s Malfunction Was Katy Perry’s Second In Less Than A Month

Friday’s incident marks Katy Perry’s second such malfunction in less than a month. She experienced a similar moment while performing in Australia on June 29, with a metallic sphere used for an aerial stunt tilting with her.

It also follows a similarly scary incident involving Beyonce in a suspended car just a day before Katy’s Australia mishap.

She took to Instagram after Friday’s show, sharing a blurry selfie of herself screaming on Stories, captioned “Good Night San Fran,” playing down the scare.

Still, fans have voiced concerns over the safety of such stage setups given the recent incidents, pointing out that they aren’t necessary, with the risk outweighing the reward.

Katy will continue her tour promoting her seventh studio album, ‘143,’ which will include stops in Seattle, Canada, Europe, and South America.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
