“Sometimes you\u2019re so brave and you can get on stage, and it\u2019s overwhelming,” the singer said after leading the arena in a prayer while medics tended to the young girl <\/p>\n
\n\tDuring the \u201cChoose Your Own Adventure\u201d section of the Lifetimes Tour stop in Detroit, Katy Perry<\/a> welcomed four young fans onto the stage. Two of the girls chosen for the opportunity were plucked from the upper seating area of the Little Caesars Arena and made their way down to help perform \u201cThe One That Got Away.\u201d But when it came time to start the song after about a minute and a half of greetings, one of the fans fainted.<\/p>\n \n\tPerry immediately rushed to the young girl\u2019s side as she sprawled out on the stage. The arena began chanting \u201cMcKenna\u201d as crew members monitored her and alerted medics. \u201cIt\u2019s so much. Sometimes you\u2019re so brave and you can get on stage, and it\u2019s overwhelming. I understand that feeling,\u201d Perry said after leading the crowd in a prayer. \u201cDear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen.\u201d <\/p>\n Durante o show de ontem, uma f\u00e3 desmaiou no palco da The Lifetimes Tour e foi rapidamente socorrida pela Katy e sua equipe. Os Katycats desejam melhoras a ela! \ud83e\udde1 pic.twitter.com\/9YpjWklw5J<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Katy Perry Brasil (@katyperrybr) August 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n\tWhile McKenna received assistance, Perry continued the show with the other three fans singing \u201cThe One That Got Away.\u201d Later in the night, during \u201cRoar,\u201d the singer shared an update with the audience. \u201cMcKenna\u2019s doing great, by the way,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tLast month, while performing \u201cRoar\u201d in San Francisco, Perry endured a scare of her own when her butterfly prop plunged several feet <\/a>while she was riding on it. Perry collected herself after the initial startle and resumed the song when the set design was stabilized. The rest of the performance continued without incident.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI always remember the audience is a hybrid of different types of people. It\u2019s Number One fans, and then it\u2019s just voyeurs. It\u2019s people that only know me for one song, and then people that know \u201cSimple.\u201d It\u2019s such a smorgasbord,\u201d Perry told Rolling Stone<\/a> ahead of the Lifetimes Tour. \u201cWe\u2019re giving BPM. We\u2019re giving unity. We\u2019re giving dance. We\u2019re giving empowerment. We\u2019re feeling seen, and we\u2019re connecting with strangers. I have a responsibility to the audience to give them that singalong, to create that moment, and to bring out some nostalgia. But as an artist, I have a responsibility to myself to stay true to my art.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\n
