In multiple fan videos, Perry nearly falls above the audience at the Chase Center as the prop malfunctions while she is in the air. While singing her 2013 hit song "Roar," the 13-time Grammy nominee was riding on the prop when it titled and dropped, seemingly causing her to lose her balance.

Katy Perry’s over-the-top performance took a scary turn on Friday night.

Clips posted on X and TikTok show the "Fireworks" singer briefly stopped singing for a few seconds and looked up at the cable rigging as the prop continued to sway back and forth.
