American pop star Katy Perry has announced that she will leave "American Idol" after season 22.
On Monday, Katty Perry appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!" dropping the bombshell.
“This fall, this September, I’m going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio. It’s really exciting. It’s a big deal for people all over the world, especially my Brazilian fans,” Perry said, adding, “So I think this will probably be my last season for ‘Idol.’”
Perry has been a judge with Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan since 2018.
“I love Idol so much. It’s connected me with the heart of America. But I need to feel that pulse of my own beat,” Perry continued.
The singer also announced the news on Instagram, writing, “Let’s play two truths and a lie: 1. I beat @usher at Monopoly Deal. 2. I’m headlining Rock in Rio this September. 3. This is my last season on @americanidol.”
