Katy Perry experienced a startling incident during her Lifetimes Tour concert on July 15, 2025, at the Chase Center in San Francisco. During her performance, Perry rode a giant 30-foot long butterfly prop created to leave audiences dazzled by the visual splendor of her show. The mechanism steering the butterfly, which was quite intricate, suddenly snapped to the side 90 degrees, sending the butterfly tilting and tumbling through the air. This unexpected jerk caused Perry to slide down in her chair, stopping her belting for a quick second.
Katy Perry kept her cool under terrifying circumstances. She stayed fully secured on the prop through the production, so the entire incident. Luckily, she made it through the terrifying experience just fine, so she could keep thrilling the crowd for the rest of the show. The impromptu accident turned into a raucous highlight of the show. Fans across the internet breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Perry came out from the situation physically unscathed.
Immediately after the show, Katy Perry posted on Instagram Stories to discuss the pratfall in true Perry comedic fashion. She posted a close-up photo of her shocked expression, captioning the blurry selfie on Instagram “Good Night San Fran.” This playful tone comforts her audience and proves her talents as one who can see the funny even in the frightening.
Good Morning America even tried contacting Perry’s representatives for comment on the incident, but so far, no one has publicly addressed the situation. The performance at the Chase Center was part of Perry’s ongoing Lifetimes Tour, which has captivated audiences with its elaborate staging and engaging performances.
