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.
