🦋Katy should focus on her own music and her fans who love her. That show doesn't even appreciate her & is a giant waste of time 🙃

American Idol needs Carrie Underwood or Lauren Alaina or Adam Lambert somebody with their love for AI because it’s gonna be so different without her! Katy could be a beast but she could make you smile and cry! ❤
