'American Idol': Katy Perry RIPS pants in hilarious performance, fans say 'one thing common with Spongebob'

'American Idol' fans were amused watching Katy's hilarious wardrobe malfunction and the quick fix

Amidst all the nervousness and tension of Hollywood Week, Katy Perry ended up providing some much-needed comic relief on the recently aired episode of 'American Idol'. The judge decided to let her hair down and have some fun by organizing a sing-along to her songs. 

Katy ended up getting a little too carried away while performing her hit number 'Teenage Dream' and ended up ripping her pants. The judge's orange pants ended up coming apart. Even though Katy realized that she was having a wardrobe malfunction on stage, the singer continued to perform and ended it by candidly calling out for help. Her fellow judge Luke Bryan and the production team came to her rescue with bright yellow tape.
