Overview

  • A young fan named McKenna collapsed mid-show during the “The One That Got Away” segment at Little Caesars Arena and was stretchered off after landing on her side without head injury.
  • Perry and venue medical staff responded immediately, with the singer kneeling beside McKenna and then gathering the other invited fans for a group prayer for her recovery.
  • Later in the concert, while riding a butterfly prop above the crowd, Perry reassured the audience that “McKenna’s doing great,” easing concerns among the roughly 13,000 attendees.
  • Sunday’s fainting adds to a string of onstage incidents on the Lifetimes Tour—including stage invasions and technical malfunctions—underscoring the risks of high-tech, fan-participation stunts.
  • In response to the scare, Perry has ordered comprehensive safety reviews, and the tour remains on schedule with upcoming shows in Toronto and further North American dates.
