Katy Perry is doing what she can to liven up quarantine for viewers.

After amusing fans with her hand sanitizer get-up during American Idol's at home episode last week, Katy Perry recently dressed up as a toilet roll in the latest episode of the singing show. Looks like Katy Perry has the most comical ways to spread awareness about the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. After hand sanitizers, toilet rolls have become the most much-in-demand products during the COVID-19 spur and the 35-year-old singer surely knows how to put out her message about the same.

Katy Perry put on her Sunday best in a cheeky way to kick off the at-home tapings of “American Idol” as the program forges on with live shows during the coronavirus pandemic. The “Dark Horse” performer, 35, sent a message to viewers to stay home when she appeared on the program dressed as a life-size bottle of hand sanitizer ready to judge the contestants.

“American Idol” made TV history amid the coronavirus pandemic by airing its first-ever remote results show. As people across the country continue to stay inside their homes in an effort to curtail the spread of COVID-19, the hit reality singing competition made the choice to forge ahead with the remainder of its season by having the contestants appear from their homes.

Lauren Mascitti is torn. On the one hand, she was really looking forward to vying for the American Idol title this season, and she had a pretty good shot at making it deep into the competition, thanks to her years of hard work writing songs, releasing albums and making connections in Nashville. On the other, she was forced into a showdown with her new BFF on the show, fellow Nashville-based country singer Grace Leer, and she really wanted the best for her Idol roommate.
