Katy Perry took the “Teenage Dream” lyric “get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans” to a whole new level with a mini dance session during American Idol on Monday, March 28. While she wasn’t wearing the skin-tight jeans from her song, she did get down in a pair of scarlet leather pants that couldn’t keep up when the Firework singer got low in an impromptu dance move.
What resulted was a wardrobe malfunction of ripped pants and a fix consisting of neon yellow gaffer tape. It all went down while the Teenage Dream singer was attempting to perform her Grammy award-nominated song for the American Idol audience. Perry took it like a champ, like the professional she is, and kept going as stage crew members assisted with covering the rip.

Katy Perry has long known how to poke fun at herself, and she later took to her Instagram to joke about the incident. As for the other hosts of American Idol, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan were shown assisting Perry after her pants split.

Before the night began, Perry had posted photos of her epic look to her Instagram account. Stylist Tatiana Waterford was probably chucking to herself later with her long-time client’s wardrobe malfunction, but at least Katy Perry looked good. Her leather pants worn with an animal print corset gave fans the fierce Perry that we all know and love.
This isn’t the first time the 37-year-old singer has had a wardrobe malfunction on the competitive singing show. A similar situation occurred on the last season of American Idol featuring a too-tight silver dress that couldn’t keep up with Perry’s smiles and laughs.
