As longtime American Idol fans saw, Katy Perry hung it up as a judge on the reality singing competition after she was an integral part of the show’s reboot. Of course, judges leave these types of shows all the time, you’d just have to ask fans of The Voice.
However, regardless of how American Idol fans feel about Katy Perry, she put in the work during her tenure. As she goes off to do other things in her personal life and her career, many viewers will certainly miss her and her critiques as part of the judging panel alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

With Katy Perry leaving her chair as a judge, this opened the door to a lot of speculation regarding who would succeed her. Even Luke Bryan previously opened up about the fact that he wasn’t completely sure that they would bring him or Lionel Richie back either.
However, things took a turn for the better with the recent announcement that Carrie Underwood would be the one to fill in and take Katy Perry’s seat. Underwood is easily one of the most successful people to ever appear on the show, as she won the crown in Season 4.
In many ways, there is no better judge than someone like Carrie Underwood. She knows firsthand what it’s like to go through the process of being on American Idol, as well as what it’s like to come out on top.
