Fans Are Not Happy About Katy Perry Returning To ‘American Idol’: ‘I Just Can’t’
July 28, 2023 by Marissa Matozzo
Katy Perry‘s time as a judge on the twenty-first season of American Idol earned her both praise and criticism from viewers. Admirers on Twitter have appreciated her chic style and glamorous outfits, and she has been celebrated for her vocal stance on gun control.
Yet some have accused her of “bullying” or “shaming” some contestants, even comparing her to the abrasive former judge Simon Cowell (who judged on the FOX show from 2002 to 2010, before ABC re-booted it).
Since 2018, Perry has been a fixture of the show, and recently ABC announced that she would return, alongside her co-stars Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, for the 22nd season of American Idol. Ryan Seacrest will also host once again.
Fan reactions are divided yet again, as some are taking to Twitter to share that they are happy Perry is returning. Others are less than thrilled, as want her to release new music instead!
