Here is what happened:
Katy Perry experienced a wardrobe malfunction on American Idol when her top broke in the middle of an episode, but she handled it like a pro. Despite the mishap, the “California Gurls” singer found humor in the situation and joked that it seems like something always goes wrong on the show and the viewers enjoy it. Katy, who is leaving the show after seven seasons as a judge, humorously remarked that she has nothing to lose except her top.
During a commercial break, Katy’s team worked quickly to fix her ensemble, ensuring that her top stayed on. Fellow judge Luke Bryan even stepped in to assist with the situation. Eventually, Katy’s top was repaired just in time for her and fellow judge Lionel Richie to reveal the top 14 contestants of the show.

Some, like season 10 winner Scotty McCreery and season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, have achieved significant chart success and released albums.
