Justin Trudeau Supports Katy Perry at Her Lifetimes Tour After Dinner Outing
Katy Perry was wide awake during this scary concert moment.
The “Roar” singer stopped her Lifetimes Tour Detroit concert August 3 when a young girl named McKenna collapsed onstage during Katy’s 2011 single “The One That Got Away.”
As seen in videos shared to social media, Katy spotted the fan in the top corner of Little Caesars arena, and once McKenna made her way down to the stage alongside her friend, she was greeted with an enthusiastic embrace.
But when Katy was preparing to start the song, McKenna collapsed.
The “Teenage Dream” singer immediately knelt beside her and stayed with her even after the medics arrived. Meanwhile, the crowd was chanting McKenna’s name in support.
Once McKenna was taken from the stage, Katy pulled the other fans in stage into a group hug.
“Dear God, we pray for McKenna,” the superstar said, per videos shared to social media, “that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen.”
“It’s so much,” she continued moments later. “Sometimes you’re so brave and you can get on stage, and it’s overwhelming. I understand that feeling.”
Later on in the show, while riding a giant butterfly prop above the crowd, Katy shared a quick update on McKenna’s recovery: “McKenna’s doing great by the way.”
After all, this wasn’t the first mishap to occur during Katy’s Lifetimes Tour. Just last month, she nearly fell off the same butterfly prop in mid-air.
In a video shared to X July 19, she abruptly stopped singing “Roar” when the prop, which was suspended over the crowd, seemed to suddenly fall a few feet due to a shift in the wiring.

With a terrified look on her face, the “Firework” singer held onto the body of the butterfly for stability while the dangling butterfly continued to swing back and forth from the sudden movement. But once it seemed to regain stability, she raised her hand to signal that she was okay and gracefully went on to sing the rest of the song.
Hours later, the 40-year-old hilariously shared a zoomed in picture of her horrified reaction to her Instagram Stories alongside the caption, “Goodnight San Fran.”
And just days after she and her former fiancé Orlando Bloom—with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove—shared the news of their split, Katy grew visibly emotional onstage as she wrapped up the Australian leg of her tour.
“Thank you for always being there for me Australia,” she said during her June 30 show in Adelaide, resting her hand on her chest. “It means the world.”
And because the show must always go on, she then gathered herself and proclaimed, “Now let’s sing ‘Firework!’”

During his finale performance of “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” at the North Dakota State Fair in 2025, the American Idol judge was pelted with a flying object. However, the musician took it in stride, finishing the song without missing a beat.
As one fan noted, “Carried on like a champ.”

Cardi B
In case it wasn’t clear, Cardi B does not like it like that. When a front row patron splashed their drink on the performer mid-set at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas July 2023, she responded by throwing her microphone.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that an unidentified woman reported a battery case the day after the concert, but noted no arrest or citations have been issued. In August 2023, Cardi’s lawyers told TMZ that police informed them no chargers would be filed against the singer.

Bebe Rexha
Baby, Bebe Rexha is gonna have the best f–kin’ night of her life no matter what happens. Struck in the face when a man at her June 2023 show in NYC threw a phone, she later posted a photo of her injured eye, writing, “I’m good.”
Todd A Spodek, a lawyer for Nicolas Malvagna, who was arrested and charged with assault, told TMZ, “As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa.”

Kelsea Ballerini
Kelsea Ballerini didn’t find it all that charming when someone tossed jewelry up on stage during a June 2023 performance in Idaho. “Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eyes,” she wrote on Instagram Stories days later, “and it more so just scared me than hurt me.”

Ava Max
Listen, she’s not that sweet. Ava Max had words for the man who assaulted her during an L.A. performance in June 2023. “He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye,” the “Sweet but Psycho” singer wrote on Twitter. “He’s never coming to a show again.”

Pink
Pink thought the fan who randomly passed her a wheel of Brie while she was singing at at London’s British Summer Time Festival in 2023 was kinda grate. “What the f–k,” the musician said, as she reached for the dairy. “I wanna kiss you on the mouth.”
But just give us a reason for why another fan tossed a bag of ashes the very next day. “This is your mom?” the “What About Us” singer asked. “I don’t know how to feel about this.”

Harry Styles
A sign of the times? Harry Styles had to get away from numerous flying objects during his Love on Tour, including, inexplicably, a handful of Skittles at a 2022 show in Los Angeles. A rep for the taste the rainbow brand later tweeted, “Didn’t think I needed to say this: Please don’t throw Skittles.”

Billie Eilish
What a boob. As Billie Eilish sang “Lost Cause” at a February 2022 show, one fan tossed a set of false boobs at her. But proving that she’s, uh, breast under pressure, the seven-time Grammy winner flung them back into the crowd and kept going.

Kid Cudi
Uh, guys, he warned you. Moments after Kid Cudi told the crowd at his 2022 Rolling Loud set, “Yo, I’m going to walk off this stage, if y’all throw one more f–king thing up here, I will leave,” he was pegged with yet another object. So he left.

Ariana Grande
Arianators were left feeling sour after Ariana Grande was beaned with a lemon while headlining Coachella in 2019. And though the singer was definitely not so into it, into it, into it, she brushed off the fruit, telling the crowd, “One of ya’ll threw a lemon at me, s–t.”
