Katy Perry has announced her departure from American Idol after seven seasons. The singer shared that the current season of the talent show will be her final one.
The singer Katy Perry reveals this season of the talent show will be her last after seven seasons.
During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday evening, the 39-year-old vocalist revealed, “I believe this upcoming season may mark my final stint, my farewell from Idol.” She elaborated on her choice, expressing her desire to “explore the world” and hinted at forthcoming music releases. Perry has served as a judge on the ABC program since 2018.
The announcement came in response to Jimmy Kimmel’s query about the duration of her tenure on American Idol. Perry explained, “It has linked me with the essence of America, but I sense the need to march to my own rhythm and experience that heartbeat elsewhere.” While she didn’t entirely dismiss the possibility of returning to the show, she remarked, “Perhaps I’ll make a comeback if they extend the invitation one day.”
Perry made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live ahead of the premiere of American Idol’s twenty-second season, where she serves as a judge alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. When asked about her co-judges’ reactions to her plans for the year, she mentioned, “They know I have some things planned for this year… I’m creating space for my new wingspan. They figured, I’ve been in the studio for a while, so they knew something was up.”
Reflecting on her performance at King Charles III’s Coronation Concert in May last year, Perry recalled rushing through Windsor Castle to make it to filming on time for an American Idol segment with the royal couple. She shared, “I ran straight into them, and I was like ‘Oh, went the wrong way’. But they were cool… and then they did the bit with us which was fantastic. And you know whose work that was, that was Lionel Richie. He can convince anyone to anything.”
Perry also talked about the viral moment of her trying to find her seat at the Coronation Service in Westminster Abbey.
“She recounted her search for a seat, noting the absence of assigned seating, which she found intriguing,” she said.
Acknowledging that her lilac Vivienne Westwood fascinator might have obstructed the view of those seated behind her, she remarked, “She could barely see” herself.
Perry rose to prominence in 2008 with the release of the hit song “I Kissed A Girl,” dominating the charts throughout the early 2010s. Her most recent album, “Smile,” debuted in 2020.
Joining the reboot of American Idol on ABC in 2018 for its sixteenth season, Perry followed in the footsteps of previous judges such as Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Mariah Carey, and Nicki Minaj.
During her time on the show, Perry encountered controversy. Last year, a contestant accused her of “mom shaming” after Perry made a joke about her “laying on the table too much.”
She also faced criticism when another contestant in 2018 expressed discomfort after Perry kissed him on the lips, claiming it was his first kiss.
In 2021, Perry sold the rights to her five studio albums for a reported $225 million (£177.5 million), shortly before concluding her nearly two-year Las Vegas residency in November.
She is married to actor Orlando Bloom, and they share a three-year-old daughter named Daisy Dove.
