Is Katy Perry Still Trapped in a Giant Inflatable Bottle?

“Get me to the straw!” Katy Perry pleaded to the audience while crowdsurfing. “Go back to the stage! Oh my God!” But alas, it was too late…

Those were the singer’s final words…JK. She’s still alive, but she did embark on an odyssey of her own while attempting a crowdsurfing stunt, so let’s find out if she returned home.

During her headlining performance at Isle of MTV Malta last week, Perry was abandoned by her fans after attempting a very Katy Perry-esque stunt. The particular stunt involved her performing “I Kissed a Girl,” while rolling over the crowd in a giant “Katyade”-branded inflatable water bottle. How could it have all gone so wrong?

@lightnewstv3 WHEN THE SHOW TAKES AN UNEXPECTED TURN Katy Perry found herself in a hilarious and chaotic moment after getting stuck inside a giant plastic bottle prop when fans failed to roll her back onstage. What was meant to be a smooth transition quickly turned into a scene nobody saw coming. Even in the middle of the chaos, she kept the energy alive — proving once again that the show must go on, no matter what. #KatyPerry #LiveShowMoments #StageDrama #PopCulture #EntertainmentNews ♬ original sound – LightNewsTV

Supposedly, the audience was meant to push the giant water bottle toward a matching giant straw at the front of the stage. But instead, the singer was swept away in a riptide, “temporarily stranded,” and bobbing about the crowd with no means of escape. So, while Perry should’ve been singing about the taste of cherry Chapstick, she was pleading with the crowd to return her to safety,

“Come on, keep it going!” she yelled from inside the bottle. “Go back to the stage! Oh my God!” But how does one steer a giant inflatable water bottle? Maybe the audience didn’t know.

She was eventually returned to her stage after being jostled around in the inflatable for the better part of five minutes. (And don’t worry, there’s a video of the entire harrowing 5-minute-and-11-second journey for your viewing pleasure.) But where was former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during all of this? Where was the sound of his voice against the noise to guide her back to safety?

In truth, he probably wasn’t far, as the two have been inseparable for the better part of the past year. On Tuesday, the couple was photographed yachting in the south of France as they are wont to do, but based on the pics, it looked like Trudeau may have found himself a new gig…

…as Perry’s personal sunscreen applicator. Fun! 

Never in my life did I think I would witness former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rubbing sunscreen all over Katy Perry’s chest, but stranger things have happened—like Perry getting trapped in a giant inflatable hell of her own making.
