American Idol Truth Behind Katy Perry’s Exit Revealed?
For seven seasons, Katy Perry has been a judge on American Idol alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. They have had a lot of fun together but this version of the show never compared to the original. However, diehard Idol fans were still unhappy with her exiting the series.
I truly don’t know how @AmericanIdol is going to replace @katyperry but I HOPE it will only be temporary! The dynamic between her, @lukebryan and @LionelRichie is so pure, fun and authentic! I LOVE them as the coaching panel. PLEASE COME BACK KATY! #AmericanIdol

It appeared that Perry had chosen this time to leave so she could focus back on her music. However, is there a deeper reason for why she is leaving after Season 7? According to The Sun, the root reason is music-related as expected. Yet, it seems to be on a far deeper level than maybe the show would have allowed. Per the show’s hairstylist, Dean Banowetz, Katy wants to: “launch a new album and go on a world tour.”
An additional Idol source added that Katy Perry “has to have time away from the ABC series because she wants to trek around the world promoting new music.” Some viewers felt that when she was on Jimmy Kimmel, Katy was hinting at new music. However, he was solely focused on her exiting American Idol as that was a huge bomb she had dropped.
Replacement Power
Obviously, the dynamic between Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan cannot be duplicated but who do the powers that be have in mind for her replacement? Dean Banowetz spilled the tea on the names that have been circulating in the American Idol world: “ABC is considering Miley Cyrus and Pink to replace Katy in 2025.” Though Jennifer Lopez, who was previously a judge, and Shania Twain have been tossed around, Miley is the one the show really wants. Time will tell who takes over that coveted spot and when the announcement will be made.
