Katy Perry Wants To Sing With Ice Spice And Judge With Lizzo

Katy Perry is expressing her desire to expand her musical horizons!

While some of her recent actions might have caused a backlash on social media, the powerhouse singer looks forward to evolving as an artist and new ventures. With her passion for pushing boundaries, she is eager to work with two rising stars in the industry.

From her highly anticipated Las Vegas Residency to her role as a judge on season 21 of American Idol, which recently concluded, and even her show-stopping performance at King Charles' Coronation Concert, Perry has been keeping herself delightfully occupied.

During an interview with Buzzfeed, she opened up about various subjects, delving into discussions about music, motherhood, and her experience as a judge on the popular talent show.

In a delightful internet moment, the "Unconditional" singer surrounded herself with adorable puppies seeking her attention during an interview. The irresistible scene had her showering the puppies with love and even treating them to a mini-concert. 

When asked about her interest in collaborating with an up-and-coming artist, the "Fireworks" singer did not hesitate to mention Ice Spice's name. She even belted out a line from "Boy's a Liar," the rapper's famous collaboration with PinkPantheress.

Afterward, she expressed her desire for Lizzo to join the judging panel on American Idol. Speaking directly to the musician, she extended a personal invitation, stating:

"I'd like Lizzo to join American Idol. This is an invitation from me, Katy Perry, asking you to join the panel. I'm feeling a little outnumbered on the testosterone. I can really use some bold, honest hot takes."

However, it does not look like fans will get to see that happen, seeing as amidst the latest season, the "Zoolander" star expressed her belief that the show's producers unfairly portrayed her as the "nasty judge" in public videos, leading to significant criticism directed towards her.

The songwriter is willing to forgo the potential paycheck and prioritize preserving her "legacy" in the music industry over financial considerations. The 38-year-old is reportedly unhappy with the backlash she has received from viewers and is considering quitting the show. A source mentioned:

"Katy feels like [the producers] threw her under the bus. She feels like her comments could have been removed. Katy became aware of the harsh criticism. Getting booed upset her. She was trying to stay in her lane, do her job, and go home." 

The insider also explained that Perry wants her career to be defined by something other than a talent competition show where she is not actively performing. Although "The Smurfs 2" actress has not publicly addressed her feelings, her evasion of questions about her future on the show has only added to the speculation and uncertainty surrounding her continued involvement.

The partnership between the rapper and the reality TV star is not shocking, considering the fashion mogul's history of teaming up with diverse artists and influencers. In the initial slide of the socialite's Instagram post, The Blast observed that Ice Spice, also known as Isis Naija Gaston, showcased a captivating ensemble. 

She donned a strapless bra paired with a bronze-hued Seamless Sculpt High Neck Thong Bodysuit and accessorized with a dazzling necklace and delicate earrings. In the following slide, PinkPantheress sat comfortably on a platform, opting for a charcoal gray Seamless Sculpt High Waist Catsuit.

Her gorgeous brunette locks were styled with a middle part, while her bangs gracefully framed her forehead. In the final snapshot, Nessa Barrett captivated the camera as she knelt on the carpeted set, donning a stunning tan Seamless Sculpt Slip Dress.

With her arms gracefully placed on her head, she cast a captivating gaze over her left shoulder. Kardashian excitedly addressed her followers in the accompanying caption:

"Everybody's wearing SKIMS. The next generation of our viral shapewear launches on Thursday, April 27, worn by a new generation of musical stars: @icespice @pinkpantheress @raye and @nessabarrett."
