KATY PERRY'S CONCERT CHAOS: FAN COLLAPSES ON STAGE WHILE SINGER PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPPERS TO SAVE HER

The drama never stops when it comes to pop superstar Katy Perry! The 40-year-old songstress was in the midst of her "Lifetimes" tour in Detroit, Michigan, on Sunday when a young fan's excitement turned into a medical emergency.

According to eyewitnesses, McKenna, a thrilled fan, was summoned onto the stage by Perry to perform the hit single "The One That Got Away" from 2011. But as the singer prepared to start the song, McKenna suddenly collapsed in front of thousands of screaming fans at Little Caesars Arena.

According to Billboard, Katy called McKenna and a pal down from the very top corner of Little Caesars Arena for the song. When the youngster collapsed she was attended to by members of the Katy's crew and venue medical staff as Katy knelt down beside her. Seen July 18

Perry's team and venue medical staff sprang into action, rushing to McKenna's side and attending to her needs while Perry knelt down beside her, showing genuine concern for the young fan. The singer's crew carefully lifted McKenna off the stage, and she was whisked away to receive further care.

But that wasn't all – in a heartwarming display of compassion, Perry pulled the other three fans who had been invited onto the stage into a group hug, leading them in a prayer for McKenna's speedy recovery. "Dear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever," Perry implored, as her voice cracked with emotion.

After ensuring McKenna was receiving the best care possible, Perry reassured the crowd: "McKenna's doing great, by the way." The singer then took a moment to address the audience, acknowledging that sometimes even adults can feel overwhelmed by excitement. "It's so much," she confessed. "Sometimes you're so brave and you can get on stage, and it's overwhelming. I understand that feeling."

After she was taken from the stage, Katy pulled the other three young fans into a group hug for a prayer, saying: 'Dear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen.' Seen April 23

This incident comes just two weeks after another dramatic turn of events at one of Perry's concerts in San Francisco. While riding a mechanical butterfly through the air during her performance of "Roar," the contraption suddenly dropped a few feet, sending Perry into a brief moment of panic.

However, the quick-thinking singer quickly composed herself and continued with the song, declaring triumphantly: "Not today, Satan!" This sassy response only added to the electric atmosphere at the concert, leaving fans in stitches.

In other news, Perry's love life has been making headlines lately. Her high-profile romance with actor Orlando Bloom has come to an end after three years of on-again, off-again dating. The 48-year-old former Prime Minister of Canada's split from Perry was a shock to fans worldwide.

But in a surprising twist, it appears that Perry will not have to face her ex-boyfriend in court over a $15 million property dispute. Sources close to the case revealed that Bloom will no longer be required to testify as a witness in the upcoming trial, which centers around a disputed real estate deal involving Perry and her business manager.

Perry's team has consistently maintained that the agreement was valid and that she took full ownership of the property in 2024. However, Perry's ex-partner Carl Westcott had claimed he was under the influence of painkillers when signing the paperwork and is still pursuing the case.

Meanwhile, rumors are swirling about a potential new romance for Perry – with none other than former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau! The two were spotted spending time together in Montreal last month, sparking speculation about their relationship status.

According to an insider source, "Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities." With both Perry and Trudeau having kids from previous relationships, they're reportedly making time for each other despite their busy schedules.

This potential new romance has left fans wondering: Could Katy Perry be ready to find love again after her split with Orlando Bloom? Only time will tell!

In related news, the court has dismissed a request by Westcott's legal team to depose Bloom as a witness in the upcoming trial. The judge ruled that his insights could be obtained through other means, allowing Perry to focus on her music and future endeavors.

As for McKenna, the young fan who collapsed on stage at Katy Perry's concert? She's reportedly doing well after receiving medical attention, leaving fans sending get-well wishes to the brave young singer.
