Katy Perry’s fans can’t seem to get enough of her, with one in particular who interrupted her Lifetimes Tour Sydney concert. The audience witnessed a sudden commotion on Monday night after a fan crashed the singer’s concert at the Qudos Bank Arena. She was right in the thick of her second of the three sold-out shows of her tour’s Australian leg when the admirer crashed the show.
A viral video captured the moment when the individual stormed the stage while Perry performed her timeless hit, “Hot N Cold.” The intrusion completely took her by surprise, but she expertly handled the situation with a classic response. The clip showed the fan putting their arm around her, catching her off guard amid her performance. But the award-winning musician rolled away and distanced herself from the man while the security hurried to intervene.
Needless to say, Perry didn’t fumble after the fan crashed her concert, turning it into a memorable moment for her audience. The footage further showed her addressing the crowd, saying there would never be “another show like it, so just enjoy it, Sydney.” Meanwhile, a few security personnel escorted the intruder off the stage despite his resistance. The video concluded with her shouting into the microphone, “What the hell is going on?”
The Sydney Morning Herald has since shared a fresh update on the fan, whom authorities identified as Johnson Wen, a “serial prankster.” Wen, who goes by the username Pyjama Man on TikTok, is a regular mischief-maker infamous for causing public disturbances and storming concert stages. The New South Wales police confirmed arresting the man and charging him with entering enclosed land and obstructing a person in the performance of work or duties.
