"This fall, this September, I'm going to be in a huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio. It's really exciting. It's a big event for people all over the world, especially my Brazilian fans," Perry said, adding: "So I think this will probably be my last season on 'Idol.'
As of 2018, Perry has been a judge alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
"I love this format so much. It has connected me to the heart of America. But I need to feel the pulse of my beat," Perry continues.
Perry also broke the news on Instagram, writing: "Let's play two truths and one lie: 1. I beat @usher at Monopoly Deal. 2. I'll be headlining Rock in Rio this September. 3. This is my last season at American idol"./BGNES
