There is no denying that a story combining Katy Perry's bra and insurance will get my attention.
So I admit I clicked on an email "insurance" alert informing me that Katy Perry's concert insurers have informed her to lose a bra with spinning peppermint candy-looking discs on it.
Perry is currently on tour. Insurers are reportedly concerned about Perry's safety, says The Sun. Apparently her hair has been caught in the spinning wheels while performing. Insurers worry Perry might be injured —a catastrophe that could result in cancelled tours dates—as a result of the alleged attack brassiere.
One might think a pre-examination of Perry's concert conditions and wardrobe at the underwriting stage might have revealed concerns before a mishap. After all, Perry has a history of adorning her supportive undergarments with extra moving, or squirting, parts.
Do not ask me how I know that.
But seriously, when performers can't perform, it can cost insurers a bunch. Last year around this time, the rock band Kings of Leon Rock canceled the nearly 30 shows remaining on its U.S. tour because its lead singer was suffering from "exhaustion."
Lloyd's of London reportedly had an exposure of $15 million due to the tour's cancellation.
