During her performance at the Isle of MTV music festival in Malta on July 22, pop star Katy Perry experienced an unexpected moment when she became temporarily stranded inside a giant inflatable water bottle carried by fans in the crowd. The stunt, intended as part of her act while performing her 2008 hit "I Kissed a Girl," took a chaotic turn as the inflatable was moved away from the stage rather than toward it.

As Perry entered the large inflatable bottle moving through the audience, she found herself drifting in the opposite direction of a giant straw prop near the stage, which had been part of the planned performance. Throughout the incident, Perry could be heard urging the crowd to guide her back, calling out, "Get me to that straw!" and encouraging the audience to "keep it going" while expressing surprise at the unexpected movement.

After a brief period carried through the crowd in the inflatable, Perry was eventually brought back to the stage, where she resumed the concert. She thanked the fans for their assistance in returning her to the performance area.

While the event caused a moment of disruption, Perry was able to continue her set without further incident. The unusual fan interaction during the stunt drew attention on social media and among attendees, highlighting both the risks and spontaneity of live performances involving audience participation.
