What you don't know is that my butt is out right now, she joked, leading Ryan to quickly respond: Well, fix yourself, before turning his attention back to the audience live.

The fashion stakes were raised even higher when McKenna contestant Faith Breinholt took the stage to perform Katy's hit ET, wearing a dress strikingly similar to Katy's, albeit with a different cut.

After the performance, Ryan took the opportunity to playfully ask if the dresses were as comfortable as they were stylish, to which Katy humorously replied: No, adding, “It's like the Met Gala one night early! “

Viewers quickly took to social media to comment on Katy's ensemble, with widely varying opinions.

Some fans felt the look was perhaps too bold for the pop star at this stage of her career. Katy Perry is a little too old to dress like that. At some point you grow out of it, expressed one viewer.

Others expressed concern about possible wardrobe malfunctions: Katy is one sneeze away from a wardrobe malfunction! and Katy, please get dressed, were just some of the comments that flooded online platforms.

All joking aside, some fans couldn't help but joke about the unique style of the outfit, with one viewer tweeting that Katy is wearing Glad bags on live TV.

The episode also marked a poignant moment for Katy, as she previously revealed in a candid interview with Jimmy Kimmel that this season would be her last on American Idol.

Explaining her decision, she shared: This fall, in September, I'm going to participate in this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio. So I think this will probably be my last season of Idol. Her departure will surely be a big change for the show, as Ryan noted, (Katy) just brought incredible generosity and love and a big heart, that kind of spirit to the show.
