Katy Perry wasn't exactly walking on air after her American Idol wardrobe malfunction.
Still, the "California Gurls" singer handled her top breaking in the middle of the episode like a pro and can now laugh off the live TV moment.
"It seems like every season something falls off, breaks, tears and the people love it," Katy told E! News following the April 15 show. "So give the people what they want."
And just like a firework, she joked her time on the show is ending with a bang.
"I have nothing to lose," the 13-time Grammy nominee, who's leaving the singing competition series after serving as a judge for seven seasons, continued, "besides my top." (For more from her interview, tune in to E! News April 16 at 11 p.m.)
In case you missed the fashion emergency, Katy caught her top from slipping off just after contestant Roman Collins performed James Brown's hit "It'a Man's Man's Man's World."
"That song broke my top off," the 39-year-old said. "I guess it is a woman's world."
Sinking behind the judges' table and covering herself with a pillow, Katy added, "It's a family show."
During the commercial break, her team worked to fix the ensemble.
"I need my top to stay on," Katy said in a video shared to Instagram. "If it's not fixed, this show is gonna get more than it wanted."
Even fellow judge Luke Bryan stepped in to help. And ultimately, Katy's top was repaired just in time for them and judge Lionel Richie to reveal the Top 14 contestants.
American Idol airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST. Until then, keep reading to see former contestants then and now.
