Katy Perry Fan Faints on Stage During ‘The One That Got Away’ Duet

“Sometimes you’re so brave and you can get on stage, and it’s overwhelming,” the singer said after leading the arena in a prayer while medics tended to the young girl

During the “Choose Your Own Adventure” section of the Lifetimes Tour stop in Detroit, Katy Perry welcomed four young fans onto the stage. Two of the girls chosen for the opportunity were plucked from the upper seating area of the Little Caesars Arena and made their way down to help perform “The One That Got Away.” But when it came time to start the song after about a minute and a half of greetings, one of the fans fainted.

Perry immediately rushed to the young girl’s side as she sprawled out on the stage. The arena began chanting “McKenna” as crew members monitored her and alerted medics. “It’s so much. Sometimes you’re so brave and you can get on stage, and it’s overwhelming. I understand that feeling,” Perry said after leading the crowd in a prayer. “Dear God, we pray for McKenna, that she will come back fully and brighter and better than ever. Amen.”

While McKenna received assistance, Perry continued the show with the other three fans singing “The One That Got Away.” Later in the night, during “Roar,” the singer shared an update with the audience. “McKenna’s doing great, by the way,” she said.

Last month, while performing “Roar” in San Francisco, Perry endured a scare of her own when her butterfly prop plunged several feet while she was riding on it. Perry collected herself after the initial startle and resumed the song when the set design was stabilized. The rest of the performance continued without incident.

“I always remember the audience is a hybrid of different types of people. It’s Number One fans, and then it’s just voyeurs. It’s people that only know me for one song, and then people that know “Simple.” It’s such a smorgasbord,” Perry told Rolling Stone ahead of the Lifetimes Tour. “We’re giving BPM. We’re giving unity. We’re giving dance. We’re giving empowerment. We’re feeling seen, and we’re connecting with strangers. I have a responsibility to the audience to give them that singalong, to create that moment, and to bring out some nostalgia. But as an artist, I have a responsibility to myself to stay true to my art.”
