Pop superstar Katy Perry faced a terrifying moment during her “Lifetimes Tour” in Adelaide, Australia, when a suspended metal sphere malfunctioned mid-performance, nearly causing a dangerous fall.
The incident, which occurred on June 30, 2025, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, left fans in shock as Perry struggled to maintain her balance inside the tilting structure before being rescued by her crew.
Katy Perry, known for her elaborate stage setups, was performing inside a giant steel sphere designed to lift her above the audience as part of her sci-fi-inspired show. However, as the prop ascended, it suddenly tilted sharply, forcing the singer to grab onto internal bars to avoid slipping.
Footage shared on social media showed the arena going dark as crew members rushed to stabilize the sphere. Perry remained composed but visibly shaken before being safely lowered to the ground amid cheers from relieved fans.

a moment many linked to her recent split from fiancé Orlando Bloom.
