Katy Perry Caught In Electrical Mishap As Fan Catches Fire Outside ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Katy Perry had a very close call Wednesday night when an autograph session outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" turned into a shocking scene as a fan accidentally touched a transformer, causing sparks to explode dangerously close to the pop star.

The singer had been at "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to promote her upcoming "The Lifetimes" Tour, which kicks off April 23 in Mexico City.

Katy Perry is also set to perform at L.A. FireAid, a relief concert benefiting victims of the recent California wildfires.

Perry was outside the Hollywood studio after her appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when she stopped to greet fans and sign autographs along a barricade. As she moved down the line, a sudden burst of sparks erupted just feet from her, forcing her to quickly duck to avoid getting hit.

The cause? A fan accidentally made contact with a transformer, triggering a surge of electricity that sent sparks flying, igniting the fan’s coat on fire in the process.

Check out the photos obtained by TMZ.

According to the outlet, eyewitnesses say flames appeared on the woman’s elbow as she scrambled to put them out. Photos from the scene show the coat still smoldering even after she managed to extinguish the flames.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, though the moment was terrifying for both Perry and the fans nearby.

Despite the chaos, Perry didn’t let the incident stop her from showing love to her fans. Later that evening, she returned to finish signing autographs ... this time, from the safety of her car.

As the pop star gears up for her newly announced "Lifetimes Tour," in support of her 2024 album "143," Perry is promising a high-energy, fan-focused experience that will be nothing short of a spectacle.

In an interview with PEOPLE Magazine, the 40-year-old teased that her upcoming tour, which will kick off in Mexico City on April 23, will be packed with nonstop beats and plenty of nostalgia.

“This show will be full of BPM (beats per minute),” she said. “So I suggest wearing some sensible shoes and staying hydrated because I think there's going to be a whole heck of a lot of us just dancing the night away.”

Beyond the new material, Perry is bringing back fan-favorite hits spanning her career. “I will be introducing people to a few new songs, and I’m calling it 'Lifetimes Tour' because I’m celebrating the whole lifetime of songs thus far,” she explained, hinting that she’s “dusting off some deep cuts” for longtime fans.

Adding a fun, interactive element to the tour, Perry has curated a unique "Club 143" experience, which includes a bartender and a special fan area. “It’s mom’s night out too,” she quipped, highlighting that the experience is meant to bring fans together for a night of fun and nostalgia.

While Perry is fully committed to giving fans an incredible show, she’s also prioritizing her health, family, and longevity. “I’m 40. I have a family. I have a whole other world outside of this that I’m tending to as well,” the "Firework" singer shared. “I know the responsibility of putting on a tour and how much people look forward to it.”

To ensure she brings her A-game every night, Perry is making self-care a priority. “I’m really trying to stay in the best shape, give my body breaks, look after myself so that I can show up every night and give as close to 100% that I can.”

The highly anticipated U.S. leg kicks off on May 7 at the Toyota Center in Houston, bringing fans an electrifying mix of her greatest hits and new music from her upcoming album "143."
