Trying to keep her cool, Perry discreetly ducked below the desk to evade the cameras, emphasizing, "It's a family show." Meanwhile, as Collins listened to feedback from Bryan, Perry couldn't resist a playful remark, quipping, "Or a top!" all the while holding onto a cushion to prevent any further mishaps.
As the tension mounted behind the scenes, the staff hurriedly worked to mend the wardrobe malfunction right before the live audience. Sensing the urgency of the situation, Perry couldn't help but vocalize her concern, saying, "I need my top to stay on. If it’s not fixed, this show is gonna get more than it wanted."
Bryan, in a light-hearted attempt to help, humorously brandished what looked like scissors or pliers, declaring, "I’m going in." However, some viewers didn't find the situation amusing. Criticism flooded Perry's Instagram, with some expressing frustration over her choice of attire for the show.
Despite the mishap, Perry had already announced in February that this season of "Idol" would mark her departure.
