During a Facebook Live session, the ‘Roar’ hitmaker responses to question how she and fellow judges, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, will continue filming after COVID-19 confines people to their home.

AceShowbiz – Upcoming episodes of “American Idol” will get “really creative” amid the coronavirus lockdown, judge Katy Perry has teased.
As the global health crisis continues to claim the lives of thousands of people around the world, enforcements have been introduced to confine people to their homes in a bid to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
As such, numerous TV shows have been affected, with production shutting down filming on all in-progress series last month (March). “Idol” was one such show, and during a Facebook Live session on Sunday (April 12) night, judge Katy was asked how she and her fellow judges, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, will continue filming the programme amid the lockdown – which shows no sign of ending any time soon.
“What’s going on with the show since we’re all still in quarantine?” Katy said as she read the question from one viewer.
“Well, I think that we’re all gonna have to be very creative,” she answered. “I know that we’re going to get really creative and you’ll just have to be tuning into that creativity that we are probably going to create from our individual homes… We’ll see how this goes.”
Katy, who also said she’d “love to” perform on the new season of Idol if at all possible, opened up about how she’s coping during the lockdown.
The “Never Worn White” star is currently expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom, and admitted she’s having “ups and downs” as she negotiates the unprecedented situation.

“Just think of the things to be grateful for and that puts your mind in a good place,” she urged. “I love you. I miss you guys. It’s a crazy time. This is a weird and wild time and I’m sure a lot of you are going through a lot of emotions. I’m in the same club… I wish I had some answers.”
“I hope that we can all get our smile back again soon. You guys stay safe and stay healthy.”

The ‘Roar’ hitmaker tweets that Makayla Brownlee has nothing to be embarrassed about after being moved to tears watching the aspiring singer beautifully covered Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Rainbow’.
Mar 25, 2020
AceShowbiz – “American Idol” judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie rushed to the aid of contestant Makayla Brownlee after she abruptly walked off stage and fell to the ground backstage during her Hollywood Week audition.
During Monday’s episode of the TV talent contest, the singer took the stage for her solo performance in front of the famous trio, but cut her performance short and swiftly left the stage.
After collapsing to the ground, Perry, Bryan and Richie ran over to see what was happening, at which point on-site medical personnel were attending to Brownlee, and ambulances were called as she began to have a seizure.
“In seventh grade, I was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope,” Brownlee explained of the long-term ailment that she’s been dealing with for years, in an interview shot after the incident. “It’s a heart condition that causes me to react to stress differently than other people, and it could cause a seizure.”
“She can’t control it. She’s embarrassed, but physically, she’s 100 percent all right,” her father added. “This opportunity is so important for her. I’d hate to see it inhibited in any way because she’s such a good singer. She works so hard at it.”
Although it was unclear whether or not Brownlee would be able to return to perform, she later made her triumphant return, much to the excitement of the judges.
“Let’s try this again,” a noticeably calmer Brownlee told the judges with a smile, as Perry supportively replied, “You got this!”

The aspiring star went on to wow the judges with a powerful performance of Kacey Musgraves’ “Rainbow”, with “Roar” star Perry reduced to tears as she explained that Brownlee’s condition really puts things in perspective when it comes to being stressed out or tired, as they put her through to the next round.
“Nothing to be embarrassed about, #MakaylaBrownlee. We all handle stress differently,” the pop star wrote on Twitter as the episode was broadcast. “That was the sweetest performance of ‘Rainbow’ #MakalylaBrownlee. So thrilled you were able to come back and sing for us and give us that perspective we need to be reminded of sometimes.”

The ‘Firework’ hitmaker, along with crew and contestants, has to be evacuated from the Sunriver, Oregon set after she and her fellow judges smelled heavy propane in the room.
Feb 21, 2020
AceShowbiz – Katy Perry passed out at last year’s “American Idol” auditions in Sunriver, Oregon when a gas leak occurred on set.
The “Firework” hitmaker was sitting on the panel for the TV talent show alongside co-judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan when the trio began to suspect something was wrong in the audition room.
“Do you guys smell gas? It’s pretty intense,” Katy says in a teaser clip for the episode, as Luke agrees, “We’re getting heavy propane.”
“I have a slight headache from it,” Perry adds, as she stands up to leave the studio and production begin evacuating the crew and contestants. “Oh, it’s bad. It’s really bad.”
The clip shows the fire department and ambulances arriving on the scene, and the judges remarking that they can still smell gas from outside.
“This is not a joke, there really is a gas leak,” Bryan confirms, approaching the fire truck, as “Dark Horse” star Katy tumbles to the ground from a crouched position after admitting, “I’m not feeling good.”

Last November (2019), officers from the Sunriver Fire Department shared videos and photos with the Idol coaches after they attended to the incident, which ended up being a problem in the kitchen at the Sunriver Resort.
The full ordeal will play out in Sunday’s (February 23) instalment of the show.
