Katy Perry is the latest touring pop star to be hit with a major prop malfunction while mid-song \u2014 and mid-air. Multiple fan videos from Perry\u2019s performance in San Francisco showed the singer nearly falling from a flying butterfly as it traversed the Chase Center.<\/p>\n

Perry was singing her 2013 hit \u201cRoar\u201d Friday night when the prop appeared to tilt and drop, which prompted her to grab on to the cables and look up. Perry then waved to the crowd to indicate she was OK.<\/p>\n

The singer later poked fun at the moment and shared a zoomed in photo of her expression as it happened in her Instagram Story. \u201cGood Night San Fran,\u201d she captioned the post.<\/p>\n

The malfunction comes weeks after Beyonc\u00e9 experienced<\/a> a similar moment of terror when the flying car she was traveling in during a Houston show began to tilt mid-air. Beyonc\u00e9 paused the show and asked production to \u201cstop\u201d repeatedly, before carrying on with the performance once the issue was resolved. <\/p>\n

The crowd cheered as the production crew attempted to rectify the situation. \u201cThank you for your patience,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 said. The car was eventually lowered to the floor level.<\/p>\n

Both the car and Beyonc\u00e9 were harnessed to cables, and the singer was also seen gripping on to one as the crew navigated the situation.<\/p>\n
