KATY Perry desperately clung on to an aerial prop as it malfunctioned during her gig in San Francisco.
Fans’ hearts were in their mouths as the pop star was almost shaken loose from the butterfly she was riding on above their heads.

Katy was performing her hit Roar inside the Chase Center when the prop appeared to suddenly drop, sparking gasps from those below.
She briefly stopped singing the song as she steadied herself before bravely resuming.
After the gig, Katy made light of the situation, sharing a close up grab of her face as the incident happened with “Goodnight San Fran” written over the top.
One fan wrote on X, “The professionalism here is beyond insane, like that could’ve easily cost your life, but Katy didn’t panic and she kept the show going….”
Another said, “The way she kept calm and kept singing- others would have freaked and said ‘no no please stop’ so glad Katy is safe but the safety team needs to step up.”
A third said, “yea it’s time for these artists to get out the air…”
The blunder drew similarities with Beyonce’s terrifying mid-air mishap last month.
Bey, 43, was performing in Texas on her Cowboy Carter tour when the moving red Cadillac she was sitting in, suspended above the audience, began tilting to one side.
Panicked, she repeatedly said ‘stop’ into the microphone and the music cut out.
Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: “I wanna thank y’all, for loving me.
“If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”
It’s been a tough time for Katy as of late after her split from her husband Orlando Bloom, 48.
Two weeks ago she fought back tears in Australia while on stage.
Making a heart with her fingers, Katy’s voice started to crack as she addressed the crowd.
She said, “Thank you Australia for always being there for me.”
The Sun reported how the star couple held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives.

An insider said, “No one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.
“They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.”
The source added, “They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.”
