In a video posted to X, Perry is seen singing “Hot N Cold” when she’s shocked by a fan who jumps on stage and puts his arm around her.

Perry, 40, quickly walks out of his reach as the man continues to jump before doing the Fortnite dance. Two security personnel appear and wrangle the concertgoer as he attempts to get out of their grasp, making it difficult for them to remove him.

Perry acknowledges the situation and tells concertgoers, “Well, there’s never going to be another show like this. So just enjoy it, Sydney.”

As she continues to sing her 2008 breakout hit, the security personnel take the man away from the spotlight to the side stage. They are then met by two more security personnel, who take hold of him as the first two men forcibly move him off the stage.

Perry’s recent interruption follows her interaction with a different fan at the Tuesday, May 17, Las Vegas performance. While introducing her song, “I’m His, He’s Mine,” she jokingly accused a concertgoer of DMing her fiancé, Orlando Bloom.

“Cute grin. I know why you’re here,” Perry said in a video shared to social media, adding, “Listen, if you keep DM’ing my man… Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You’ve been doing it for months, ever since the [Play] residency.”

At that same performance, Perry had yet another eyebrow-raising moment on stage when she experienced a wardrobe malfunction while performing 2012’s “Part of Me.” 

During the song, Perry ran along the stage’s runway while wearing a reflective cone bra. But before she could complete her run, her bra was seen coming undone in a TikTok video, threatening to bring her entire top away from her chest. The singer slowed down and changed her moves to look like a strut so she could play off the wardrobe malfunction.

“Oh s—, my bra is gonna come off,” she said into the microphone while walking to the main stage, per a TikTok video.
