Katy Perry appeared to have an issue with her eye at a recent concert - and it's led to a slew of bizarre conspiracy theories.

The 'Roar' singer, 38, was seen in footage at her Las Vegas residency apparently experiencing an eye glitch while on stage. The video has since racked up more than 19 million views since it was posted to TikTok on Sunday.

In the viral clip, Perry appeared to stare directly at the crowd as she experienced difficulties opening her right eye.

The mom of one – who donned a sparkly dress with two faux soda cans on her chest – tried to lift her eyelid back into place using her hand. However, her eye proceeded to close again, prompting Perry to try once more. When her eye was finally back to normal, the 'I Kissed A Girl' hitmaker carried on with her show, telling the audience: "Make even more noise for my band."

Check out the video here:

The clip was the subject of much speculation from viewers, some of whom claimed the glitch was some kind of mechanical failure, implying that the Grammy-winning megastar was actually a robot.

Others suggested that video gave credence to the conspiracy theory that the Covid vaccine causes eye issues.

One wrote on Twitter: "She got that Pfizer eye."

Another quipped: "Isn’t Katy Perry the one who sings that new hot song called 'Eye of the Pfizer'?"

Other theories were a little less out there, with some suggesting that the eye issue had something to do with Perry's makeup.

One wrote: "Lol it’s her eyelash glue getting stuck to her bottom lid happens to me all the time."
