Hear her go uh-oh.
Katy Perry suffered a scare when she nearly fell off a flying prop at her concert Friday night.
The pop superstar, 40, was performing her hit “Roar” as she flew above the crowd in San Francisco on a giant butterfly machine, when the technical prop suddenly malfunctioned.
She told her audience at that moment, “Sing it now. Sing it!” and held out her mic before the butterfly suddenly dropped, making her slightly lose her balance.

The crowd could be heard in video of the mishap reacting in shock and fear, as screams grew louder.
Perry, meanwhile, also seemed to be terrified, as she had a panicked look on her face.
However, the “Dark Horse” singer quickly regained her composure and continued singing the song.

“You’re going to hear me roar,” she sang, while still holding on tightly to the butterfly prop.
Following the concert, Perry took to her Instagram Stories to troll herself over the incident.
She jokingly posted a picture of herself with her mouth wide open during the snafu and wrote over it, “Goodnight San Fran.”
Page Six has reached out Perry’s rep for comment on how she’s doing.
Meanwhile, a source tells us exclusively that the “E.T.” singer only suffered a minor bump but all is “good,” adding, “She paused slightly but then kept singing, almost never missing a beat.”
Perry’s technical malfunction comes just a few weeks after Beyoncé had her own scary incident.
In late June, the Grammy winner, 43, was performing in Houston for her “Cowboy Carter” tour, when an aerial red car she used during her “16 Carriages” performance leaned and then came to a halting stop.
