Katy Perry is facing backlash, causing her cringe tour to flop further. This is the story of how I got approached and convinced to audition in front of the judges for American Idol and meet my all time idol: Katy Perry. It went terrible, and I had a very disturbing and dark encounter. It was disappointing for so many reasons, and I have had to deal with that experience on my own for 6 years. Now that Katy Perry's lifetimes tour is flopping, people think she's cringe and embarrassing, and are starting to see her true colors, I knew it was time to share my story. Also, I met her former back up singer who spilled even more tea than I thought possible! But confirmed what I already knew. Don't ever meet your idols. Especially the American ones. And whatever you do, DO NOT go on American Idol.
