After the performance, Katy humorously told the audience, “That song broke my top off!” Ryan Seacrest, the host, playfully advised her, “Katy, don’t cut yourself!” noticing her wardrobe malfunction. Katy added, “I guess it is a woman’s world,” to which Luke Bryan quipped, “Ratings, ratings, ratings!”

Once things calmed down, Luke praised Roman’s performance, leading Katy to joke, “You literally have the ability to blow the roof off the place… or a top!”

Fans took to social media to share their reactions. Some likened Katy’s malfunction to the effect James Brown’s songs have on people, while others humorously compared it to Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl incident.

Earlier, Katy had posted her outfit on Instagram, showcasing a unique top and leather pants designed by Kate Barton. During the episode, some fans playfully compared her attire to a “jet plane.”

This incident isn’t the first time Katy’s outfit choice has sparked discussion. On a previous episode, she wore a floor-length black sheer dress adorned with large gray and black pom-poms, leading Luke to comment that she looked “like the inside of a car wash.”

Katy announced that this season might be her last on American Idol. She expressed her love for the show and her desire to explore new music and travel the world.

As rumors swirl about potential replacements for Katy, names like Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lopez, and Shania Twain have been mentioned. While some producers believe Miley would be perfect due to her popularity and ability to attract younger viewers, others have concerns about her controversial behavior.

Despite the drama, there’s still hope that Katy may reconsider her decision to leave the show. No official replacement has been announced yet.
