Less than two weeks before Katy Perry kicked off the Lifetimes Tour, the singer was relentlessly criticized for taking an 11-minute trip into suborbital space, where she attempted to reveal the tour setlist.

Katy Perry nearly fell from mid-air while inside a metal sphere during a live performance in Australia, according to fan footage shared on X.

Katy Perry experienced a prop malfunction during her "Lifetimes" Tour concert at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Australia on Sunday night. In video clips shared on social media, the singer is seen inside a large metal sphere designed to lift her above the audience.
