It happened during one of the Perry’s (roughly) 278,433 aerial/high-rise sequences in the show, as the superstar boarded a giant black mechanical butterfly and soared off high above the crowd during the anthem “Roar.”
Suddenly, the butterfly lurched downward, as if one of its cables holding it aloft had come loose, drawing gasps from KatyCats (aka, Perry’s fans) as it appeared that the superstar could fall or otherwise be in serious danger.
Fortunately, the vocalist was OK and would finish her ride on the none-too-steady butterfly back to the stage. Disembarking from the creature, Perry would utter a memorable response to the mishap — one that fans would immediately begin quoting.
“Not today, Satan,” said the singer, who started off her career in Christian music before going on to find massive fame in the mainstream pop world.
