And it was no different for Katy Perry on Saturday night, when she performed on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, promoting the new Viva Vision show.

The singer, 38, took to the stage wearing a funky red mushroom hat, along with a red latex bodysuit and fringed trousers.

Katy took her performance to new heights on the show, as fans strummed her through the air during one of her songs.

Katy’s sassy body featured cutouts across her chest, while her matching chaps also flashed some flesh.

The American Idol star’s appearance comes amid reports she’s ready to quit her role on the show after being portrayed as the “annoying” judge.

Katy, who kept the look glamorous with a full face of makeup, at one point pulled across the stage in a bold fashion.

The star hung from the ceiling as she whizzed through the crowd, much to the delight of her fans.

The show marked the launch of the new Viva Vision show, which is dedicated to Katy Perry songs and is dedicated to the singer.

Her performance comes on the heels of claims she wants to leave American Idol after six years for fear of being repeatedly “thrown under the bus by producers” who she says have purposefully edited her to look like the “nasty judge.”

The pop star has dealt with a slew of controversies and scandals this season – and now sources tell DailyMail.com that she’s grown tired of dealing with viewer backlash and hit breaking point when she was booed for criticizing contestants .

While Katy has faced criticism in the past, the insider revealed that this season has been particularly tough for her, especially when she was caught up in a maternal scandal that led to a singer quitting the show.

Katy feels like [the producers] threw her under the bus,” the source said. She feels like her comments could have been removed.

‘Katy became aware of the harsh criticism. Being booed really upset her. She tried to stay at her job, do her job and go home.

“She started it thinking she would nurture young talent. She didn’t want her good intentions to be misinterpreted.

“She has accomplished so much in her career and is now seen as a nasty reality show judge.

“Katy had wanted to leave for a while, but this season was way too much for her.”

While Katy has received criticism in recent seasons, Season 21 has been the hardest for her to maintain fan approval. At the start of the season, she was accused of “mom-shaming” 25-year-old Sara Beth Liebe by telling the young mother of three that she had “laid too much on the table.”

Another wave of backlash came during Hollywood Week when Katy told struggling hopefuls Carina DeAngelo, 25, and Nutsa Buzaladze, 25, that their performance was “underwhelming” — adding that their “energy was broken.”

In the aftermath of both incidents, Katy took a hit on social media – and that criticism continued to haunt her in the weeks that followed, with several fans clamoring for her to be ‘replaced’, even dragging her into the ‘rigging’ line that burst. loose when this year’s winner, Iam Tongi, was crowned.

Now, the DailyMail.com insider says, she’s decided enough is enough and is ready to call it quits — walking away from a reported $25 million per season paycheck.

However, the source insisted that money doesn’t matter for the chart — and that no pay check will ever be worth the damage it says the show is doing to its “legacy.”

[Katy’s decision to quit] is not a money issue,” the insider shared. “It’s starting to become more of a legacy issue for her. She doesn’t want her career to be defined by a talent show where she’s not even performing.’

Spokespersons for Katy and American Idol did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

In a telltale sign, Katy dodged questions about her future on the show when she spoke to DailyMail.com in the wake of this season’s finale — simply saying she was “just so thankful” that American Idol was back for another season. extended.

“Oh I’m just so thankful,” she said when asked what she’d like to see in the next season — before her fellow judge Luke Bryan, 46, jokingly replied, “Other than me [getting] dismissed?’

“Right, right, right,” Katy continued, before Lionel Richie, 73, scolded them both, “Don’t put that there, okay?”

Although Katy let Luke and Lionel take the reins when it came to questions about how this season “turned out,” and remained emphatically silent when the judges were asked to give their thoughts on “how this season compared to others,” them anyway. share some insight into her motivation for entering the contest.
