KATY Perry fans were left with their hearts in their mouths after she “almost fell” from a giant ball while on stage.
The pop star, 40, had climbed into the huge metal sphere during a show when it began tilting dramatically at a strange angle.
An army of quick-thinking backstage crew members raced onto the set in Australia to steady the massive prop so Katy – who was clinging on to the sides – could climb down safely.
With the backing music stopped, the crowd could be heard applauding the star and shouting “go, Katy!” as she made her way out and onto the floor.
The incident came just one day after Beyoncé sparked panic as a flying car she was riding on during her Cowboy Carter Tour malfunctioned.
The red Cadillac began tilting to one side as Beyoncé repeatedly said “stop” into the microphone and the music cut out.
Katy was also left hanging in the air during her Lifetimes Tour show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide.
Sharing a video on X, one fan who was in the crowd said, “Wait not katy perry almost falling from the giant ball.. this is scary asf.
“Omg it’s scarier than it looked.”
The clip was captioned with, “Katy Perry handled it like a queen.”
Fans were quick to reply to the footage, with many comparing Katy’s lucky escape to Beyoncé’s.
“Main Pop girlies literally risking life to put on a show!” one said.

Another added, “She thinks she’s beyonce!”
A third chimed in, “Beyonce almost fell in her car prop and now Katy with this.”
And someone else wrote, “Thankgod it didn’t happen when she was up in air.”
Beyoncé’s brush with danger came just 24 hours earlier while she was performing at the NRG Stadium in her native Texas.
Towards the end of the show, and after an appearance from her daughter Blue Ivy, things took a turn for the worse.
During her performance of 16 Carriages, the superstar hopped into a red car which was then lifted high into the air using cables.
She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side.
The crowd paused when she stopped singing and signaled for help, before erupting into cheers as the vehicle was lowered to solid ground.
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.”
GOING SILENT
Meanwhile, Katy had turned off her social media notifications in the lead up to her gig in Australia.
It came after The Sun revealed she has told friends her relationship with actor Orlando Bloom is over.
Katy has been in Australia with their four-year-old daughter Daisy, while Orlando jetted to Italy for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding.
British actor Orlando was seen cozying up to Kim Kardashian at the extravagant event before being spotted with Sydney Sweeney in Venice.
Katy and Orlando were in a relationship for nine years.
