       has never been one to shy away from outlandish fashion, and this week
       on “American Idol,” her quirky choice for a top almost turned into
       an embarrassing moment.
       
       On Monday’s episode of the reality singing competition series, the
       pop star and longtime “Idol” judge’s structured silver top
       appeared to break apart . To be safe, Perry held her clothing
       against herself with her arms and even used a pillow for extra coverage
       one point.
       
       She later spoke with , joking that the incident was less a
       “malfunction” and more of “just a moment for TV.”
       
       “I think it’s the physical expression inside of me that just wants
       to burst at the seams,” Perry quipped.
       
       The interviewer pointed out that her fellow judge Luke Bryan may have
       bumped into her, causing the top to break. “He’s always, like,
       setting me up,” she said in jest.
       
       As for this being her final season as an “American Idol” judge, the
       “Teenage Dream” singer called it “wild,” adding that “it’s
       flown by.”
       
       Perry has been a judge for seven seasons, alongside Lionel Richie and
       Bryan since 2018.
       
       She also mentioned her reasoning for leaving the show at this time,
       telling ET, “I’m just trying to make space for other things. It’s
       not like me ending this show means I’m going to go retire on an
       island, even though that would be fabulous.”
       
       “I’m gonna go to work,” she added, in a nod to her , currently
       referred to as “KP6.”
       
       Perry’s last album, “Smile,” was released in 2020.
