On American Idol season 20 Disney Night, Katy Perry took a tumble, and now her fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie are reacting to the hilarious moment. Every season, Katy dresses as a different Disney character, and this year she delighted fans with her costume of Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Katy wore a red plastic wig that looked like Ariel's hair was flowing in the water. She carried a fork, or, as Ariel would call it, a «dinglehopper.» The highlight of the costume was the sea foam green mermaid tail that was very beautiful, but made it very difficult for Katy to move around. In fact, Luke and Lionel had to wheel Katy out onto the stage on a dolly because she could not walk in the costume.
Once Katy was in her seat, host Ryan Seacrest began to speak about the American Idol Top 10, but suddenly there was a loud off-camera crash. Ryan was startled and said, «Oh!» Katy had fallen backwards in her chair as it tipped over. As Ryan rushed toward the judges' table, Luke howled with hysterical laughter, pointing at Katy as she was on the floor. Lionel immediately jumped up to help her, and Luke and Ryan then helped him pull Katy to her feet. Thankfully, she was not injured. She smiled and waved as Ryan held her up while Luke picked up her chair. Katy laughed and sipped her drink as the supportive audience chanted her name and cheered for her.
