Katy Perry, the renowned pop star and long-time judge on 'American Idol,' made headlines this week with a quirky fashion moment that almost turned into an embarrassing situation. During Monday's episode of the reality singing competition, Perry's structured silver top appeared to break apart, prompting her to hold it against herself with her arms and even use a pillow for extra coverage at one point.
In a lighthearted interview with Entertainment Tonight, Perry downplayed the incident as less of a 'malfunction' and more of 'just a moment for TV.' She humorously remarked that it was her 'physical expression inside' that wanted to burst at the seams. Perry also joked that her fellow judge Luke Bryan may have inadvertently caused the top to break, teasingly saying, 'He's always, like, setting me up.'
Reflecting on her final season as an 'American Idol' judge, Perry described the experience as 'wild' and noted how quickly time had flown by. Having served as a judge for seven seasons alongside Lionel Richie and Bryan since 2018, Perry shared that she is making space for other projects by leaving the show at this time.
Addressing her future plans, Perry emphasized that her departure from 'American Idol' does not mean she is retiring but rather making room for new endeavors. She hinted at her upcoming album, tentatively titled 'KP6,' following the release of her last album 'Smile' in 2020. Perry expressed her intention to continue working and creating music in the future.
