A tense moment unfolded during Katy Perry’s recent stop in Detroit when a fan suddenly collapsed on stage during a special duet portion of the show.
As part of her The Lifetimes Tour at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday, August 3, Perry had invited four fans onstage to join her in performing her emotional hit “The One That Got Away.” Everything appeared smooth as she introduced each fan to the crowd—until one, identified as McKenna, unexpectedly fell to the ground, seemingly overcome by the experience.
Perry quickly rushed to help the fan, offering support as crew members and medics stepped in. Meanwhile, the entire arena began chanting “McKenna” in unison, hoping to lift the young fan’s spirits and bring her back to her feet.
Eventually, the fan was safely escorted off stage, and shortly after, Katy Perry paused the show to lead the entire arena in a heartfelt prayer. “Dear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen,” she said, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd.
Perry continued, “It’s so much. Sometimes you’re so brave and you can get on stage, and it’s overwhelming. I understand that feeling.” Her compassion and quick response were widely applauded online, with many praising her for how she handled the situation.
The emotional moment comes amid a buzzworthy week for Perry, who also made headlines after being spotted in Montreal on a dinner date with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The two dined privately at an upscale restaurant, reportedly bonding over lobster and deep conversation.
A few days later, Trudeau was seen in the audience at Perry’s Montreal tour stop, this time accompanied by his 16-year-old daughter, showing support for the pop star’s ongoing tour.
The recent sightings have definitely sparked chatter that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau could be romantically linked, especially as Perry is fresh off her split from Orlando Bloom. Meanwhile, Trudeau and his wife officially divorced back in August 2023.
In a joint statement at the time of their separation, reps for Perry and Bloom shared, “Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
