Katy Perry was grabbed by a fan who got through security in a terrifying moment during her show in Sydney.

The singer was visibly shocked as a man unexpectedly ran onstage and put his arm around her, per a video posted on X Monday. Perry yelped in surprise before making a face and spinning away from him.

The man continued to jump around and do the Fortnite dance before security eventually dragged him off.

Perry tried to keep the disruption to a minimum as she continued singing her hit “Hot N Cold” while her band played. However, she did briefly pause to acknowledge the tense moment.

“There’s never going to be another show like this, so just enjoy it, Sydney,” she told the audience.

The former “American Idol” judge is in the middle of her “Lifetimes” tour, which has received brutal criticism for almost everything, including her choreography, her outfits and her singing abilities.

“People are paying to see this?” one X user asked in the comments of a viral TikTok video of Perry doing robotic dance moves during the tour’s opening in Mexico City.

“so shockingly bad,” another wrote.

In April, Perry, 40, clapped back at all the hate she was receiving for both her tour and the infamous Blue Origin space flight. (The controversial all-female mission was relentlessly mocked online and by fellow celebrities like Jessica Chastain, Olivia Wilde and Martha Stewart.)

“Please know I am ok, I have done a lot work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me,” she wrote in an Instagram comment on a fan page.

“My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer, ‘no one can make you believe something about yourself that you don’t already believe about yourself’ and if I ever do have any feelings about it then it’s an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it,” she continued.

Perry noted that when the “online world tries to make [her] a human piñata,” she doesn’t let it get her down.

“I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed,” she explained.
