LOS ANGELES-Katy Perry was left stranded high above the crowd at a gig in Nashville when one of her concert props got stuck.

Katy Perry leapt into the arms of fans after becoming stuck on a prop dangling high above the crowd.

The ‘Swish Swish’ singer was performing as part of her ‘Witness’ tour on a floating planet hanging from the roof at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday (18.10.17) evening when she became stranded in mid-air.

And Katy even encouraged her fans to film the incident because she knew it was a ‘’whole big deal’’ that would quickly go viral.

Katy told the crowd in a video posted on YouTube: ‘’I’m literally stuck. This is the first time I’ve been stuck in space!

‘’This thing is stuck right now, they’re lowering me down - they’re talking to me in my ear right now. It’s a whole big deal - you’d better pick your phone up because this is a YouTube moment. I could be stuck here forever!

‘’They said they’re going to lower me down. I’m coming down, I swear it was beautiful, you guys made it look s magnificent. Honestly - y’all are the real stars right now.

‘’I do not want to smash you by sitting on you with a planet. I guess I’m just going to have to get down and walk amongst my people. I love this so much. This is what you get for trying to bring out all of space to Nashville.

‘’Shall I just jump?’’

She then crowd-surfed off the planet to rapturous applause from the crowd and was escorted back onto the stage.

Fans took to social media to share footage of the event and were full of praise for how the 32-year-old singer handled the mishap.
