Katy Perry has massive meltdown
On last night’s episode of American Idol, fans were introduced to 21-year-old Trey Louis. Trey reveals that he survived the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting that took the lives of eight students and two teachers. Trey Louis revealed
“A gunman walked into my school. I was in art room one, and he shot up art room two before he made his way to art room one. Lost a lot of friends.”
After hearing his story, Katy Perry’s head immediately fell to the judging table. She came unhinged with tears falling down her face as she melted down. Her heart broke that this was the story Trey Louis had to introduce himself with. That this was the reason he was on the show. She desperately wanted him to be on the show because he loved singing and not because he was looking for happiness and joy.
“This is not OK! You should be singing here because you love music! Not because you had to go through that ****. You didn’t have to lose… friends. I hope that you remind people that we have to change, because, you know what? I’m scared too.”
