A concerned Katy Perry attended to the young fan when she collapsed moments after being picked out of the crowd to meet her idol on stage

Katy Perry halted a concert over the weekend after a young fan collapsed during one of her performances on her Lifetimes Tour. It happened during the singer’s nightly ritual of inviting fans up on stage.

She was about to sing The One That Got Away when the girl, reportedly named McKenna, appeared overcome with emotion after being chosen as one of the lucky few to get to meet their idol.

But moments after stepping onto the stage, the girl is said to have fainted and was immediately attended to by a concerned Katy, her crew and medical staff at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Billboard reported around 13,000 fans chanted McKenna’s name as she was taken away to seek medical attention. Katy then pulled three other young fans into a group hug and led a prayer, saying: ‘Dear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen.’

Revealing she knows how it feels to feel overcome on stage herself, the 40-year-old Firework hitmaker turned to the audience and said: “It’s so much. Sometimes you’re so brave and you can get on stage, and it’s overwhelming. I understand that feeling”.

She went on to sing the track for the rest of her fans and while performing on a giant butterfly – which she almost fell from earlier on in her tour. Receiving news from backstage that the young girl was okay, Katy told the audience: “McKenna’s doing great by the way.”

Katy is set to play more tour dates in the US and Canada, before heading over to the UK in October to perform gigs in Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham and London.

She was already on her world tour when it was announced that she and partner Orlando Bloom had split after nine years. The pair were engaged and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, who turns five later this month.

After weeks of speculation, a joint statement from the former couple said: “Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. 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”.

According to US Weekly, a source close to the pair said the split was amicable but “a long time coming”. The source told the publication: “Katy and Orlando have split, but are amicable. It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”

Since the split, Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando, 48, has been spotted flying solo at Jeff Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Italy last month and linked to female celebs, including newly single Sydney Sweeney.

While Katy reportedly enjoyed a ‘dinner date’ with former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau recently. It comes after the 53-year-old ex-politician split with his wife Sophie back in 2023.

In response to the latest speculation, a fan posted an AI image of Orlando having dinner with another world leader – former German politician Angela Merkel. The caption quipped that the pair were “sipping wine and slurping oysters”. The fan also joked that he “couldn’t keep his hands off” the politician. Seeing the funny side, Orlando posted three hand clap emojis in response in the comments section.

Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney was shouted at by a fan as she arrived at the Los Angeles screening for Americana. It comes days after her American Eagle advert was slammed

Actress Sydney Sweeney was heckled by an angered fan after she received backlash for the controversial American Eagle advert she starred in. The Euphoria star, who was also recently outed as a registered Republican, was seen arriving at the special screening of Americana at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The Anyone But You actress, 27, ignored the backlash and posed for snaps wearing a cream bustier dress with a tulle skirt custom-made by Danielle Frankel. She had her blonde hair in light waves and added a cream headband to complete the look. However, as she was walking into the venue, one person was heard calling out her name.

They said: “Stop the ad! That is being racist!” as Sydney smoothly and hurriedly walked inside the venue. The American Eagle advert featured the star putting on a pair of blue jeans. It comes after Donald Trump’s mental state ‘clear to see’ as lawmakers urged to ‘act now’.

In the advert, she said: “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour. My jeans are blue”.

A voiceover then adds: “Sydney Sweeney has great genes”. In the US, American Eagle’s billboard ads show the word ‘ genes ‘ crossed out and replaced with ‘ jeans’.

While some think the campaign is harmless, many say it taps into the ideology of eugenics – the belief that the human race could be “improved” by increasing the presence of traits considered desirable, traits historically linked to whiteness.

Sir Francis Galton used eugenics to later support discrimination against people with disabilities and minority groups in the late 19th century. Although the ideology is now widely dissented, it laid the groundwork for how society defines beauty and value.

Not long after the advert was released, Sydney was outed as a registered Republican. While on the runway in Pennsylvania on Sunday evening, Donald Trump stopped to answer questions from reporters who were gathered there.

One informed the US president that actress Sydney is a Republican. “I’m glad you told me that,” he replied to the reporter before adding that the nugget of information certainly swayed his opinion on the American Eagle advert.

Trump was about to board Air Force One before departing from Allentown to return to Washington.

He was clearly surprised when he learned that Sydney, 27, was a registered Republican and said to reporters: “Oh, I love her ad.

“The number of Republicans in the country would surprise you. I wouldn’t have known that, but I’m glad you told me. I think Sydney Sweeney’s ad is fantastic if she’s a registered Republican.

The Chase star Mark Labbett has revealed that following his stint on Celebs Go Dating and the gruelling hours, there’s one thing he’s going to change in his TV contracts.

Mark Labbett has revealed that he got ‘ frustrated ‘ on the set of Celebs Go Dating amid the show’s long filming hours, leading to him apologising to his co-stars for bursts of anger on set.

The Chase star told Mirror that despite having spent 16 years on television, he found himself struggling with the demands of filming reality TV, which is much less structured than the quiz show he’s used to. “I’m used to being in a pre-planned environment on The Chase , where timings are strict, but reality TV can go on for longer and the days end up ending later than you think,” he explains.

“For me, the one thing I found was that you need a social battery recharge, and as someone on the spectrum, that’s something I really need”, continues Mark. He previously shared that he believes he is on the autism spectrum but hasn’t had a confirmed diagnosis. It comes after filming for the show was halted as Mark was hit on a health scare on set.

Admitting that the long hours got the better of him, the trivia whiz – who is also known as The Beast – continues, “I got quite grumpy on set. I did apologise to everyone, but, in the future, I’d definitely have it in my contract that I need breaks to have a nap and recharge”.

“I’m very used to doing The Chase where it runs like clockwork, but coming into a location-based reality show where timing is a lot more flexible, like I said, I got moody. I’m also diabetic, so, I wear a glucose monitor and on one of the nights, my glucose level went off the scale,” says Mark, as his co-star Kerry Katona interjects, “And Mark went off the scale too!”

“Yeah, I did. And I did apologise to everyone afterwards, but, I realised that maybe that’s happening in my personal life also – when I can lose it a little. So, that was a learning curve”.

Despite his struggles with the filming schedule, Mark said he is looking forward to the show’s release, which will see him look for love on TV via the celebrity dating agency. It comes a rior to his relationship with Hayley, Mark was married for seven years to Katie Labbett,

The couple split in May 2024, just a week after celebrating their one year anniversary. P rior to his relationship with Hayley, Mark was married for seven years to Katie Labbett, and shares son Lawrence, who was born in 2018, with her. The former couple, who discovered they are second cousins years into the relationship, parted ways in 2020.
