Ever since Katy Perry announced her impending exit from American Idol ⁘ via creative use of the game Two Truths and a Lie ⁘ fans have inevitably wondered who might replace her alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. A few former champions have thrown their hats in the ring, and Perry herself indicated that she⁘d love to see Jelly Roll get the gig . However, ⁘Endless Love⁘ crooner Richie threw out a couple of huge names that he⁘d like to see, and I would totally be on board with this.
I have to say, I love Lionel Richie shooting his shot like this, and this would undoubtedly be an excellent pick. I think Kelly Clarkson was one of the best all-time coaches of The Voice during her nine seasons on the NBC singing competition, so I'd love to see her return to the competition realm. (And that wouldn⁘t be the only overlap between American Idol and The Voice .)
But why stop there? Lionel Richie also had another name in mind, and it⁘s one that⁘s honestly been on a lot of people⁘s minds lately with her new album, the Eras Tour and high-profile relationship with Travis Kelce ⁘ that⁘s right, Richie shouted out Taylor Swift as a possible replacement for Katy Perry, saying:
As amazing as either Kelly Clarkson or Taylor Swift would be as an American Idol judge, I feel like both are a long shot. Idol , like The Voice , films primarily in Los Angeles, and one of the reasons Clarkson left The Voice was because she relocated to New York. As for Swift, well, we hear she⁘s got a lot going on at the moment .
It definitely seems like a fun dynamic to join, whoever does get that call. Until we know more, though, you can continue to watch Katy Perry⁘s final episodes at 8 p.m. ET Sundays on ABC. Be sure to check out our 2024 TV schedule to see what premieres are coming soon.
