Every performer worries about wardrobe malfunctions causing embarrassment, but Katy Perry’s insurers are worried certain parts of her on-stage costumes could cause permanent injuries, according to the London Evening Standard.
Insurers have become particularly concerned with the mechanized, spinning peppermint candies attached to one of Ms. Perry’s bras, which the singer can be seen wearing in several scenes of her new film, “Katy Perry: Part of Me.” According to the Evening Standard, Ms. Perry’s hair has a tendency to get caught in the bra’s motors.
Ms. Perry told the Evening Standard that her insurers have asked her to redesign the costume piece, fearing that the singer could suffer permanent damage to her neck if the tangles keep occurring.
"I keep being told the insurers are worried I will injure my neck,” Ms. Perry told the Evening Standard. “I seriously doubt it could be lethal, but they want a new bra designed that will not allow hair to be caught up.”
Ms. Perry said that when her hair gets caught in her costumes, she usually continues performing.
