Katy Perry Leaving American Idol to ‘Find That Pulse to My Own Beat’

She’s manifesting a big year “for all pop-star girlies.”

She’ll be the first judge to leave ABC’s Idol revival, after the lineup of her, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie stayed together for seven seasons. Perry went on to manifest a big year “for all pop-star girlies,” throwing her wig in the ring with Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, and whoever else comes out of the woodwork in the next ten months. While she released the album Smile in 2020, Perry hasn’t toured since she joined Idol in 2018, though she did have a Vegas residency during that time.
