Katy Perry narrowly avoids massive wardrobe malfunction while performing
She styled it out.
Popstar Katy Perry expertly handled a potentially tricky moment during a live show in Las Vegas over the weekend.
The I Kissed a Girl singer, 40, is currently in the middle of her Lifetimes world tour and was on stage in the Nevada city on Saturday.
After her brief trip to outer space earlier this year, Katy will be coming to the UK in October, with dates planned for Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and London.
As has been shared in a number of viral clips since the start of the tour, Katy starts sprinting at one point in the show – specifically during a remix of her song Part of Me.
And during her Vegas performance over the weekend, that sprint nearly resulted in an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction – but the Roar hitmaker played it off well.
Starting off at jogging pace during an instrumental section, Katy ran around the circular stage in thigh-high boots and a sparkling crop top and bra combo – her outfit for the tour.

Styling out the sudden stop into a cool strut, she then laughed the situation off and let her fans know what had almost happened before asking one of her crew to put her bra back together.
‘Oh, my bra’s gonna come off,’ she joked, dancing along to the song. She then danced for a few seconds more before realising she couldn’t get her bra back together on her own.
Katy styled it out anyway… (Picture: Justin Paludipan/ ‘Get my bra back on, Patrick!’ (Picture: Justin Paludipan/Walking over to the side of the stage, Katy signalled for one of her crew to help, saying ‘Get my bra back on, Patrick’ before turning to the audience and joking: ‘Sorry, guys, you didn’t pay that much.’
Katy then got back to her performance, which immediately involved shouting ‘Woah-oh!’ at the top of her lungs and dramatically performing a death drop.
On TikTok, fan Carlo De Santis said: ‘This looks like a dream you try to explain to someone and then give up halfway through. “Katy Perry ran her bra off and there were these guys who were half-robot swaying back and forth”… oh never mind.’

On X, user Mo wrote a month ago: ‘She needs to cancel this tour before it cancels her career I’m so serious.’
Clips circulating on social media in April showed Katy dancing on stage, swinging from side to side and throwing her hands up in the air and falling to the floor, just like in the most recent video.
After watching, many people weighed in – and some were less than impressed, with TikTok user Madji saying: ‘This is the worst choreography I have ever seen in my life.’
Despite the calls for Katy to cancel the tour, very few tickets remain for her UK dates later in the year and several of her dates around the world have sold out.
