Overview

  • During the August 3 Lifetimes Tour stop at Little Caesars Arena, Perry invited a group of young fans onstage to join her performance
  • One attendee named McKenna fainted under the spotlight, prompting Perry to kneel beside her, hold her head and offer water
  • Medical personnel later moved McKenna to a first-aid area while Perry led the remaining fans in a brief prayer for her recovery
  • Perry resumed the show and assured the crowd during her performance of “Roar” that the fan was doing well
  • The incident follows earlier Lifetimes Tour mishaps, including a malfunctioning steel sphere in Adelaide and a near-fall on a butterfly prop
