Giant butterfly nearly downfall of Katy Perry

A scary moment occurred late in Katy Perry’s concert in San Francisco on Friday. The superstar boarded a giant black mechanical butterfly and soared off high above the crowd during the anthem “Roar.” Suddenly, the butterfly lurched downward, as if one of its cables holding it aloft had come loose, drawing gasps, as it appeared that the superstar could fall. Fortunately, she finished her ride on the none-too-steady butterfly back to the stage. “Not today, Satan,” Perry said when she hopped off the creature.
