During a concert in Sydney on Monday, pop star Katy Perry faced an unexpected incident when an attendee ran onto the stage, grabbed her, and began dancing with her before being removed by security. This event took place at Qudos Bank Arena while Perry was performing her hit “Hot N Cold” as part of her “Lifetimes Tour.” The surprise moment prompted Perry to express her astonishment, asking, “What the hell is going on?” as she continued with her performance while security handled the situation.
The man, later identified as Johnson Wen, was arrested and charged with two offenses: entering enclosed land and obstructing a person during work. He has been granted conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in court on June 23, additionally facing a six-month ban from Sydney Olympic Park. Wen, who describes himself as a “prankster” on TikTok, spoke about his motivations for the incident, stating he wanted to dance with Perry and planned an “extra Fortnite move” before being stopped by security. He noted that his stage invasion days were likely over due to the trouble it incurs.
The incident has raised concerns about audience behavior at concerts, with increasing reports of similar actions towards various artists, including Harry Styles and Lady Gaga. While Perry’s representative did not comment on the event, she is expected to continue her tour with more performances in Sydney and other Australian cities. Wen released several videos of the stage rush post-incident, expressing nostalgia for Perry’s music, which he associates with his childhood.
