In a surprising revelation on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Katy Perry declared that she would be leaving American Idol after seven seasons. The beloved judge expressed her deep affection for the show, stating that it has connected her with the heart of America. However, she feels the need to embark on her own musical journey and experience the pulse of the world.
Perry’s decision to leave came as a shock to her co-judges, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, who were unaware of her plans. The announcement caused curiosity about their reactions, which will be unveiled in due time.
The 39-year-old singer first joined American Idol in 2018, when the show was revived by ABC. Alongside Bryan and Richie, she added her unique perspective to the judging panel, contributing to the show’s success. Although she hadn’t disclosed her plans to her fellow judges, they sensed something significant was in the works as Perry had been spending time in the studio.
While fans will certainly miss her presence on the show, they can look forward to Perry’s future endeavors. Her departure will undoubtedly open doors for aspiring talent and inspire new possibilities.
