American Idol judge Katy Perry shocked fans (like myself) when she announced that she would be leaving the competition show after seven seasons back in February. But once the “California Gurls” singer bids a final farewell to the show, who will be there to take her place? Two of Perry’s American Idol colleagues, Luke Bryan and Ryan Seacrest, have one famous celebrity in mind.
Bryan and Seacrest caught up with Entertainment Tonight after a recent episode of American Idol premiered on ABC on April 23. During the episode, singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor appeared on the show as a guest host.
And when ET asked Bryan if the “All About That Bass” singer could be a possible replacement for Perry, the 47-year-old country singer told the outlet, “I think Meghan’s always been real fun. You know, that's kinda been her brand, to have fun.” He added, “[She’s] real witty, so certainly.”
