Katy Perry didn’t let a prop malfunction stop her from performing her Lifetimes Tour concert on Friday, July 18.
Perry, 40, belted “Roar” atop a flying butterfly prop during her concert at San Francisco’s Chase Center, per social media footage. As Perry held onto the reins, the wiring abruptly shifted and caused the entire unit to fall a few feet lower.
Perry briefly stopped singing as she tried to regain her balance. Once the prop leveled out, Perry continued belting, “And you’re gonna hear me roar.”
After the show, the pop star joked about the unexpected malfunction.

“Goodnight San Fran,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories earlier on Saturday, July 19, sharing a blurry photo of her startled face when the butterfly first started falling.
Perry kicked off her Lifetimes Tour earlier this year, ultimately bringing the shows to her California hometown this month.
“HOMETOWN SHOW AT THE FORUM TONIGHT,” Perry quipped via Instagram on Tuesday, July 15. “Ecstatic to play a show for ALL the Angelenos including my best friends, my business partners, mom, dad, my ear nose and throat doctor, my dog groomer, my MDMA therapist, my acupuncturist, my manicurist, the teacher from the yoga class I went to in 2015, the uber eats guy that that delivered my brisket breakfast burrito this morning from Dialog Cafe and all the friends that are friends with someone that knows Tamra.

Perry also has the support of her 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, who’s been traveling the globe with her mom. Perry shares her only child with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom. Us Weekly broke the news last month that Perry and Bloom, 48, broke up after nearly a decade together.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source exclusively told Us in June. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”

Reps for Perry, who was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012, and Bloom subsequently reiterated in a statement that the breakup was amicable.
“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” a statement shared with Us read. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
Bloom also shares son Flynn, 14, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
