Katy Perry Bids Farewell to American Idol: Who Will Replace Her? Season 22 Finale Recap

Katy Perry, the beloved judge on American Idol for the past seven years, is set to bid farewell to the show during its season 22 finale. Perry's departure has been a topic of discussion since she announced her decision in February. The singer shared her emotions with Ryan Seacrest during an interview at Disney and ABC Upfront presentation, expressing that it will be a celebratory night instead of a somber event.

Perry's last episode on American Idol is expected to be filled with excitement as she performs for the audience. The judges' table will have an empty seat next season, and fans are eagerly anticipating who will take Perry's place. Some names that have been thrown around include Meghan Trainor, Fantasia Barrino, and Kelly Clarkson.

During the finale on May 16 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, Abi Carter was crowned as the winner of American Idol after a three-hour episode filled with emotional performances and guest appearances from various artists such as Nick Fradiani, New Kids On The Block, Jason Mraz, Hootie And The Blowfish, Cece Winans, James Bay, Wynonna Judd, Seal, Bishop Briggs and Cody Johnson. The CMA Foundation and ABC donated $20,000 to each finalist's local music programs as a token of appreciation for their hard work.

Perry has been an integral part of American Idol since 2018, alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. Her departure marks the end of an era for the show. Fans can look forward to Perry's future projects, which include new music.
