The interaction has sparked some discourse online, with several fans praising Katy for graciously handling the “frightening” situation.
“She handled that very well. Must’ve been frightening but she gave them a moment and appreciated that,” one TikTok comment read.
“The way she handles it with grace and hugs him after tells you everything you need to know about her soul,” said another user, while a third added on X, “i would’ve had very bad reflex idk how katy perry does it so gracefully.”

Meanwhile, some users criticized Katy’s security team for allowing the young fan to run up and grab her

Katy Perry is a good person at her core and this hate train is going to make her enter her villain era for real

That was nice of her.

I met her back in 2009? I forget it was a while ago, she only had I Kissed a Girl out and she was touring on warped tour... she was SOOOOOOOOO nice. I will absolutely give her that

I was a big fan at the time, and we had a little Convo and she asked what song I wanted to hear, and she told me when in her set that she would be playing it because it was storming all day and the set times were getting moved around and she didn't want me to miss it..

that was so scary omg, if i were in katy positions i'd probably cry and leave the crowd as soon as possible

Great! KatyCats, if you wanna be rewarded with free hugs and pizza from Katy, just ignore her privacy and boundaries, act completely disrespectful and grab her from behind. Lesson learned!

Edit: Tbf, it is a bad situation and must have been very scary for her. So props to her for keeping it together, but this definitely doesn't send the right message...

She better than me because I would not have reacted so graciously

I mean she is nice to her fans that's for sure. But I wouldn't mind if she reacted negatively either, it can be scary but good for ha!
