Katy Perry startles fans

Earlier this week, Katy Perry shared new shots from the set of American Idol. The live shows are now here and fans didn’t like the first three-hour episode. In the first photo, she opened her red lips wide and squeezed her eyes shut. The songstress looked like she had a huge fly on the side of her forehead. Katy put her hand to her face as she looked like she was in a state of shock.

Her jet-black hair draped down around her face and down her shoulders. She wore a plaid dress and a matching choker. She flaunted her brown eyeshadow and tanned skin in the close-up photo. The next shot was taken faraway and included her fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. Lionel looked shocked and pointed at Katy’s head.

Meanwhile, Luke was ready to slap the bug off her face. Katy Perry captioned her shots with “🪰 the #idol fly 🪰.” However, there was no need to worry. As you can see in the first picture, it’s a fake bug. The celebrity judges were pulling a prank on the fans. Some of them took to the comment section to react.

American Idol backlash

As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Katy Perry got backlash this season. Most fans don’t like the way she’s treated the contestants and have vowed not to watch. Some have noticed the way she’s treated the female contestants from the male contestants.

Others called her out for “shaming” and “bullying” the contestants. It all started with the audition process on American Idol Season 21. Fans won’t forget the way that Katy interacted with Sarah Liebe, who is a 25-year-old mom of three. She even confirmed that the embarrassing audition process made her uncomfortable.
