following some online criticism and backlash from viewers throughout the most recent season of the singing competition series.and even booed by the show's audience for criticizing the amount of glitter on another wannabe-"Idol" following their performance. Some of that backlash spilled over onto social media as the season went on.
"When it comes to our fans being too hard on Katy, listen, Katy Perry's been dealing with stuff like that her whole career. We all get it," Luke Bryan said in an interview with."I mean we're judging kids that people at home fall in love with. So we're not gonna bat 1,000 as judges. We're gonna send a kid through that may get controversial."
He added that, as judges, they do"get set up" and are forced to"kinda fall on the sword a lot of times" for the sake of the show, leading to viewers getting"very vocal on socials and stuff."] and Katy sit down at the desk, in our hearts, we're doing the best we can and Katy gets picked on for going out and trying to have fun making a TV show," he continued.
Bryan said that being critical or going for a"fun moment" can be a risk, not knowing how it will eventually be"perceived" by the the contestants or those watching at home -- and said that while Katy got heat this time around,"it may be my year next year." "We're conditioned, calloused for it and Katy's been dealing with that ... it makes me appreciate her even more, just how big of a scale she's had to deal with that her whole career," he concluded.
