Katy Perry Waves Goodbye To ‘American Idol’ Era With Tears, Flying Pizza and a Towering Dress Paying Tribute to Contestants


Katy Perry bid farewell to 'American Idol' after 7 seasons on Sunday (May 19) with tears and a towering dress featuring the faces of contestants.

Katy Perry ended her seven-year American Idol run in style on Sunday night (May 19), singing, table jumping and pizza-tossing her way off the stage during the three-hour season 22 finale. Initially seated while wearing what looked like a metallic bustier, Perry began to rise up as Blocker sang the second verse, revealing an expansive dress plastered with the faces of Idol contestants who’ve appeared on the show during her run. Soaring high above the stage as paper butterflies rained down all around her, Perry’s dress was the perfect lasting image of the singer’s sweet embrace of her Idol era.
