During her performance for American Idol hopefuls, Katy Perry had a wardrobe malfunction as her snug leather trousers tore.

The incident occurred immediately after singing the lyrics “Put my hand on your tight jeans” in her hit song “Teenage Dream.” As Katy sat down, a distinct rustling noise could be heard throughout the venue, drawing everyone’s attention to her pants.

Nonetheless, the 35-year-old pop star remained unfazed. Instead of changing her outfit, she simply turned around and requested her assistant to patch up the tear with tape.

In the studio, Katy Perry faced a costume predicament but was able to handle it swiftly. Despite this hurdle, she resumed work with her fellow judges and participants on Hollywood Week. Lionel Richie even made light of the situation by teasingly saying, “Don’t worry, we caught it all on tape!”

Katy Perry suffered a wardrobe malfunction when her pants ripped, and she shared the hilarious incident on Twitter. Unfortunately, the editorial board had to censor the image of the torn crotch. This wasn’t the first time the singer encountered this mishap, as she also experienced it while judging American Idol due to her tight jumpsuit back in 2018.

Katy Perry’s wardrobe malfunction made headlines when her tight leather pants ripped while she was sitting. Despite this, Katy has been a fixture on American Idol as a judge since 2017 and has become a fan favorite over the course of five seasons.

Her infectious energy and humor have endeared her to audiences everywhere. Katy once spoke about her love for discovering new music, a passion that has been an asset in her role as an Idol judge.

In addition to her judging duties, the songstress is raking in a cool $25 million per season. Beyond American Idol, Katy has been selling out shows in Las Vegas since December, earning millions in the process.
