Katy Perry has just reminded us of her iconic 2009 American Idol moment with a Tweet. The pop superstar recently expressed her admiration for Adam Lambert by bringing out the memorable cape she wore on the show when Lambert was the runner-up and expressed her undying love for the singer, putting an end to all distasteful rumors.
Eyes have recently been set on Katy Perry after her alleged actions toward the performers in the competition. She has been criticized for ‘bullying’ performers on stage, and it was rumored that the singer would get fired from her role as a jury. While some have anticipated a new judge to be Adam Lambert, the whispers have grown, and some claimed that it negatively impacted the two singers’ relationship.
Katy Perry’s recent tweet has proven the rumors wrong. The post, accompanied by a photo of the customized cape, reignited her admiration for Adam Lambert. When Perry guest-performed ‘Waking Up In Vegas’ on the show in 2009, the year Lambert was a runner-up in American Idol, she boldly broke the unofficial impartiality rule by wearing the ‘Adam Lambert’ cape. The singer recently took the cape out of storage and shared her love for the singer once again on social media.
She tweeted:
“Fun fact: In 2009, I performed ‘Waking Up In Vegas’ on Idol when Adam Lambert was a finalist. At the end of the song, I revealed this cape (and maybe got in a little trouble for playing favorites); well, I pulled it out of storage and dusted her off, especially for this rock show tonight.”
Now serving as a judge on American Idol since 2008, Perry continues to use her platform to recognize and uplift emerging artists. Adam retweeted her tweet and made it obvious that he was grateful for her support back then. American Idol posted Adam Lambert on their Instagram recently and announced that he will be attending the show as a guest performer.
