Hi EVERYONE this is Cattleya walkeriana bud. Do you think this red color of the stem is normal?

The red stem means the bud has died and will fall off before opening.

is it possible to just be anthocyanins from high light exposure? I have a cattleya hybrid with very pink flowers (Pot. Hsinying Pink Doll) that had similarly colored flower stems just before opening - flowers lasted 3.5 weeks. Maybe that is the case here?

Does the flower's stem feel soft like it may fall off/have blasted?

It happens... I lost a couple of buds also recently, plant may have been small to carry... It will make up for it on next bloom cycle

Unfortunately not in this case! I suspect the bud would actually fall off if touched, either now or very soon.
