Katy Perry Left American Idol Because It Was ‘Worst Job’ She Ever Had, Says Source; She Feels Carrie Underwood Is Walking Into Viper’s Nest

As a long-time devotee of the music industry and a diehard Katy Perry fan, I can’t help but feel a mix of empathy, admiration, and amusement as I follow the rollercoaster ride that is Katy’s life and career. Having watched her rise from humble beginnings to global pop stardom, I find myself in awe of her resilience and determination.


Katy Perry appears content to have wrapped up her stint as a judge on American Idol. This well-known pop artist, who graced the panel of the hit singing competition, has expressed her satisfaction about moving on from the show. Reportedly, Perry faced challenges during her time on American Idol and does not envy Carrie Underwood, who is set to replace her.

In February, it was disclosed that Perry would be stepping down as a judge during Season 22 of American Idol. This final season, which wrapped up in May, signified the end of Perry’s tenure on the show, alongside fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. Despite her public admiration for the program, a source close to Perry confided in Life & Style that she had a difficult time off-camera.

According to a source, the job for Katy was particularly challenging due to the offensive remarks and secretive backstabbing among some colleagues. However, it seemed that Katy, being a diligent professional, found their lackadaisical attitude frustrating as she dislikes squandering time, especially her own. The source conceded that the show proved lucrative for Katy but confirmed that she ultimately decided to move on from the project.

In spite of the difficulties, Perry continued to present a cheerful public persona. During her interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she affectionately reminisced about American Idol, expressing, “I adore Idol immensely. It’s allowed me to touch the soul of America. However, I sense a desire within me to explore beyond its boundaries, setting my own rhythm. Jimmy, you get what I mean, right? I cherish the show dearly, but I yearn to traverse the globe, perhaps creating fresh music.”

After Perry left, there was speculation among American Idol fans about who might step into her role. Five months later, it was revealed that Carrie Underwood, a renowned country artist, would be joining the judging panel for Season 23 of the show.

I’ve got quite a history with the Idol stage. Back in 2005, I graced that stage, taking home the title of Season 4 winner. Since then, I’ve grown into a global icon, a journey that started from humble beginnings in Checotah, Oklahoma. Every step of my career has been meticulously chronicled, and throughout it all, I’ve managed to maintain the love and support of countless fans.

In a recent Instagram post, Underwood recounted her experience on American Idol, sharing, “I recall being at home in my small house in Checotah when I learned there were auditions in St. Louis. My mom offered to take me if I wanted to go.”

I’ve gone from being a complete unknown to having tens of millions of eyes on me, all thanks to that incredible show. I stand tall with pride over every single moment I had there, but even more so for the strides I’ve made since then.

Though Perry feels content with departing from American Idol, she expresses apprehension regarding Underwood’s position as judge. According to reports, Perry anticipates Underwood might encounter difficulties in this new role. An informed source mentioned that Perry views Carrie positively and wishes her success, but warns that she’s stepping into a “den of snakes.”

The report says that Carrie might find it helpful to know that she can reach out to Katy anytime for guidance, as Katy has extended this offer of support to her.
