Katy Perry Sparks Backlash After Allegedly Tossing Woman’s Handcrafted Cake to the Floor
Katy Perry’s 40th birthday celebration is making waves online for a surprising reason. During a stop on her Lifetimes Tour, a video shared on X shows the pop star throwing her birthday cake backstage instead of serving it to her team.
In the clip, Perry, still in costume from her show, blows out the candles on a large sheet cake. Instead of cutting it, she tosses it toward a man in a headset, missing him completely. The cake splatters on the floor while her team watches.
The video was shared by an X user claiming their mother baked the cake. “My mom was the one that baked this cake. She was so excited about the opportunity to make a cake for Katy Perry and spent so long on it. I’m genuinely confused and upset as to why she would do this,” the user wrote. The post quickly went viral, gathering millions of views and sparking reactions from fans.

Some viewers criticized the singer for the way her team handled the cake. “The most disrespectful thing is her being okay with her crew having to demean themselves to eat food off the floor which she threw instead of serving it up for them. Hope she had another cake on standby,” one person commented.
Others expressed general disappointment, saying, “This hurt my feelings and I didn’t even bake the cake,” and “Katy can’t do anything without being cringe AF.”
Some defended Perry, noting that she likely paid for the cake. “Perry likely paid handsomely for the cake meaning she’s allowed to do whatever she wants with it,” one fan wrote. Another said, “Katy Perry probably decided there was NO way she was going to risk eating that cake or letting anyone in her crew risk it, so, there you go. If I were a celeb, I’d NEVER eat anything sent to me by a ‘fan.’”
In the video, Perry appears unfazed by the mess, laughing as backup dancers scoop up bites from the floor.
