Katy Perry experienced technical difficulties during her performance at the NRJ Awards in France this weekend.

The popstar took home two awards at the ceremony - International Song of the Year for 'Roar' and International Female Artist of the Year.


Taking to the stage to perform 'Roar', Perry was visually out of sync with the track and background screens.

The host of the show interrupted her halfway through the performance and apologised to her, while the audience was heard booing.

He said: "If you don't mind, you can restart. What do you think? We had a little problem. I'm really sorry to stop all your energy."

Perry began the song again but with a noticeable difference in her pitch.

What to Read Next


Perry's boyfriend John Mayer recently discussed the couple's duet on 'Who You Love'.

He said: "I had this idea that just sat around for a while and I thought, 'Maybe I'll finish it some day', and I played it for Don Was who was producing the record with me and he said, 'Get Katy to sing on it'.

''Now, he could say that because he doesn't have to worry about all the hang-ups that I'd have to worry about.''
