Katy Perry Talks 'American Idol' Replacement
So what spurn the social media campaign? Well, Perry did recently appear on Good Morning America to talk her American Idol replacement. She's thankful for the journey she got to go on with Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and host Ryan Seacrest.
She said, "It's been incredible to be on this journey with them." Perry also teased that she may eventually return to the show, not seeing it as a permanent goodbye. It's only a goodbye "for now."
Meanwhile, Perry said she plans to focus on both her music as well as her family.
"I feel so connected to America that I want to go out there again and sing and play music and hold their hands and [tour] and bring my daughter and show her and all that stuff," she said.
Still, she will always have a special place for all of America's hopefuls.
"They also remind us about the fight, because we can get a little bit, you know, complacent here or there, but then they give us that energy again," she said.
For her replacement, Perry warned them not to get too comfortable. She may return for her seat. "Just someone that can put up with Luke and Lionel," she said, adding, "Keep my seat warm."
