Katy Perry<\/a> found herself trapped in a giant inflatable water bottle after a stunt went wrong during her latest music festival<\/a> performance.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old pop mega star was headlining the Isle of MTV festival<\/a> in Malta this month when her attempt at crowd-surfing saw the singer briefly stranded in the bottle, struggling to roll back towards the stage. <\/p>\n

The I Kissed A Girl singer was performing her hit single on Wednesday night when she attempted to crowd-surf in the giant plastic prop.<\/p>\n

One video<\/a> circulating from the night shows thousands of fans rolling Perry further and further into the crowd. <\/p>\n

\u201cOK take me back to the stage, back to the stage!\u201d the Grammy nominee was\u00a0heard pleading\u00a0in one video. \u201cOh my god!\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans eventually carried the singer safely back to the stage while Perry<\/a> was seen on her hands and knees, holding on inside the inflatable clear bottle. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for bringing me back,\u201d the relieved singer announced in the microphone with a big smile. <\/p>\n

The Firework hit maker has been using the giant plastic water bottle through her current European tour as a way to \u201cget up close and personal\u201d with fans. <\/p>\n

\u201cI basically get in this giant inflatable water bottle and I roll it into the crowd,\u201d\u00a0she explained to the Isle of MTV Malta\u2019s official Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd tonight I went kind of far and I was a little bit worried I was not gonna come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time one of Perry\u2019s on-stage stunts has made headlines.<\/p>\n

Just last month the singer took a not-so-subtle swipe at\u00a0her exes<\/a>\u00a0while performing in Spain.<\/p>\n

Perry made the humorous jabs at\u00a0her famous exes<\/a>\u00a0Diplo and\u00a0John Mayer<\/a>, and ex-fiance\u00a0Orlando Bloom<\/a>, while performing her 2020 single\u00a0Never Really Over\u00a0alongside a giant iPhone prop at the O Son do Cami\u00f1o\u00a0festival in June.<\/p>\n

Shoutout to her exes.\u00a0X\/@RensKatyCatP<\/p>\n

The song is about revisiting a relationship with an ex, but Perry made clear that is not her current situation.<\/p>\n

In footage captured by fans, the phone flashed during Perry\u2019s performance as if she were receiving calls from the trio, but she did not answer.<\/p>\n

She declined Diplo\u2019s call and let \u201cJM\u201d (John Mayer) and \u201cOB\u201d (Orlando Bloom) go to voicemail.<\/p>\n

After joking about her exes, Perry gave a shoutout to her current boyfriend, Justin Trudeau.\u00a0X\/@RensKatyCatP<\/p>\n

But when the phone flashed up a call from \u201cJPJT\u201d, her boyfriend of almost a year<\/a>, former Canadian prime minister\u00a0Justin Trudeau<\/a> (who\u2019s full name is Justin Pierre James Trudeau), that was a different story. <\/p>\n

As the call flashed up on stage Perry repeatedly hit the green answer button.<\/p>\n
