She will be replaced by Carrie Underwood, who was once a contestant on the show.
In her interview with People, Katy Perry opened up about being replaced with Carrie Underwood in the next season of the show. “She was born on that show.” said the Fireworks singer, referring to Carrie’s past stint. “I think she knows how to steer it,” Perry further added.

In an interview with SiriusXM in August 2024, she said that she is “blessed to be rooted in country music” but is also active in other music genres.
