Pop star Katy Perry<\/a> is no stranger to extravagant stage stunts but her most recent performance landed the singer in trouble. <\/p>\n

While headlining the Isle of MTV Malta festival, Perry decided to crowd surf inside a giant inflatable water bottle. <\/p>\n

She was singing her iconic hit<\/a> I Kissed A Girl from inside the oversized plastic cylinder with the words \u201cKatyade\u201d emblazoned on the front. <\/p>\n

The idea seemed simple enough that fans would roll the bottle through the crowd and back to the stage.<\/p>\n

However, footage from Europe\u2019s largest free open-air festival reveals the moment the stunt went wrong, as fans pushed Perry in the wrong direction. <\/p>\n

In clips shared on social media, the inflatable bottle can be seen drifting further away from the stage, as Perry desperately attempts to steer herself back to safety. <\/p>\n

\u201cOK take me back to the stage, back to the stage!\u201d the Grammy nominee was heard pleading in one video. <\/p>\n

\u201cOh my god!\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, concertgoers were able to redirect the giant bottle and roll Perry safely back to the stage. <\/p>\n

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

Speaking after the show, the 41-year-old admitted the stunt had been more dramatic than usual.<\/p>\n

\u201cI basically get in this giant inflatable water bottle, and I roll it into the crowd,\u201d she said, in a video shared by the Isle of MTV Malta festival. <\/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

The mishap comes after Perry, who is dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau<\/a>, wrapped up the European leg of her Out Of Office Tour. <\/p>\n

In addition to the giant water bottle, Perry\u2019s tour has featured other signature on-stage stunts. <\/p>\n

Last month the singer took a not-so-subtle swipe at her exes while performing in Spain.<\/p>\n

Perry used a giant on-stage iPhone prop to publicly decline simulated incoming calls from former partners such as Orlando Bloom, John Mayer, Diplo and Russell Brand before accepting a call from her current boyfriend. <\/p>\n
