Lionel Richie was seen next to her, wearing a patterned top and black leather jacket.

Luke Bryan completed the trio in a Hawaiian shirt and a denim jacket.

While the pop star had been promoting the return of the singing compeтιтion with various teaser videos on social media, she announced another unexpected collaboration.

The Dark Horse singer revealed that she landed a role in the beloved children’s animated franchise, Peppa Pig.

Katy was filmed as she read her lines in the studio for her character Mrs. Leopard in the Peppa Pig Wedding Special.

CAREER MOVES

“Hi everyone, I’m Mrs. Leopard,” Katy said to the camera.

“I can’t wait for you to join the celebrations with us!”

The video then switched back to the studio where the songwriter sat.

“Where’s the tea? Now what happened to that tea?,” she asked.

Out of character, Katy asked someone to hand her a stuffed Peppa Pig toy which she danced around with in front of the camera.

The mother of one made a silly snorting sound.

MOTHERLY LOVE

“Ah ha! Job done,” she concluded.

“When my fans AND Daisy tell me to do something, it’s done,” she captioned the post and referenced her daughter Daisy, 3, who she shares with Orlando Bloom.

The pair have been dating since 2019.

“SURPRISE!!! I got to voice the new Mrs. Leopard in the Peppa Pig Wedding Special! See it in select cinemas starting tomorrow!

“Drop an oink oink if you’re DELIGHTED,” she concluded.

CRITIC’S CORNER

The new season of American Idol is set to premiere next weekend, with Katy returning alongside the usual judges.

The network announced that singers Tori Kelly, 31, and Jelly Roll, 39, will be appearing on the new season

Last year, Katy faced major backlash over her judging skills in the compeтιтion.

She was accused of behaving rudely toward contestant Wé Ani after Wé did not receive feedback from Katy on her performance.
Viewers accused Katy of being “unprofessional” and “doing Wé dirty” by looking shocked when she made it through to the top 12.

She was also accused of “leaving out” fellow judge Lionel and for “talking over him.”
