The singer, 39, wore a striking silver top from designer Kate Barton on the latest elimination episode - and called several wardrobe assistants to the stage when it broke.
“My top broke #idol” the “Last Friday Night” singer, 39, captioned a hilarious Instagram Reel of herself wearing a structural silver Kate Barton crop top crafted from metal as team members attempted to fix it with various tools.
“If it’s not fixed, this show is going to get more than it wanted,” a shocked Perry says, in a clip shared on her social media accounts.
Fellow judge Luke Bryan even tried to offer a helping hand, grabbing a pair of pliers before joking: “I’m going in!”
“I need my top to stay on!” she said, leaning forward with a worried expression as the team worked on her broken crop top, which featured a halter neck and a silver shark design, with its fins sticking out on either side of her body.
Perry — who is exiting the show after this season — quipped, “This show is gonna get more than it wanted” before Bryan decided to jump in and help.
“I got it!” the country star said in the clip, holding a pair of scissors and yelling, “I’m going in!” as he attempted to help close the shiny crop top … but it seemed like his efforts didn’t exactly work out.
The words “nvm” flashed on the screen before footage of the “Teenage Dream” singer leaning forward and clutching the metal top played, but at least she took the situation in good humor.
Perry told contestant Roman Collins — who performed the James Brown song “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” — “That song broke my top off! I guess it is a woman’s world.”
“Ratings, I love ratings!” Lionel Richie, who also serves as a judge on “American Idol,” joked, with Perry replying, “It’s a family show.”
The “Roar” singer ended up unintentionally channeling Bianca Censori at the end of the Reel, holding a white throw pillow in front of her chest to keep things family-friendly.
