Change your mind like Katy Perry tear her clothes.
Katy Perry suffered a wardrobe malfunction on “American Idol” Monday night when her top burst midway through the live show.
The incident occurred before Top 14 contender Roman Collins took to the stage to sing James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”
Perry, 39, said the chrome crop top she was wearing appeared to have frayed at the back.
“My top broke the idol” Perry captioned a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram. Several crew members were shown taking care of themselves.
“I have to keep my jacket on,” the “Swish Swish” singer said in the video.
The clip then cut to Perry holding a wrench and telling the staff, “If we don’t fix this, this show is going to be worse than expected.”
At one point, fellow judge Luke Bryan tried to help her, but gave up after a few minutes.
“Don’t worry about it,” he said.
Perry told Collins: “That song broke my head. I think it’s a woman’s world.”
Brian, 43, and Lionel Richie made fun of the “Hot N Cold” singer’s accident and joked it would cause ratings to skyrocket.
“evaluation! Now, let’s evaluate! ” Brian and Ritchie, 74, said as Perry knelt behind the judge’s bench.
“This is a family show,” Perry joked.
The video ended with the “I Kissed A Girl” singer covering herself with a pillow.
Immediately after the show, Brian told Entertainment Tonight About the fiasco.
“Tonight, her top flew off and almost flew off. At this point in the game, I’m like, ‘What do I need?’ what do you need? Do you need pliers? Do you need a towel? Bathrobe? What is needed? ” he laughed.
However, Ritchie told the outlet a different story that portrayed Brian as responsible for the incident.
“Luke knocked the top off. I’ll tell you the whole truth,” the “All Night Long” crooner said. “And Luke spent the rest of the day saying, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’ But he definitely apologized and then tried to take it back, which seemed worse than the whole thing. ”
Perry later set the record straight, calling this a “live TV moment.”
“Yeah, he’s always getting me down,” Perry laughed about Brian. “It wasn’t actually a glitch. It was just a moment of live broadcast.”
“Every season I feel like I’m going to rip my pants…I think it’s physical comedy and that side of my physical expression that just wants to explode at the seams,” she added.
singer told Access Hollywood That she loved the clothes. “I was rolling the dice and wondering who cares,” she joked.
Some of Perry’s fans found this whole mess quite funny.
“You’re funny,” one fan joked through X (formerly Twitter).
Another said: “I’d rather have my top than my bank account.”
“You know when power tools come out it becomes real fashion,” said a third user with a laugh.
Monday’s episode brought the “Unconditionally” singer one step closer to the finale.She announced her withdrawal from competition during an appearance in February “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Last week, Bryan said it wasn’t a “big shock” that Perry would be leaving after Season 22.
“I had heard whispers that she was thinking about it, but it wasn’t that big of a shock,” the 47-year-old country star said.told Taste of Country. “I think she got so carried away with her moment with Kimmel that she declared that she was probably done with it.”
