While carving her place in the music industry with hit songs like “Hot N Cold”, “Firework”, and “California Gurls”, Katy Perry decided to take a break from the studio to help shape the futures of other singers on American Idol. Over several seasons, Perry grew to become a fan favorite as her friendships with Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan produced some hilarious moments. But wanting to get back to the stage, Perry eventually left and released her latest album 143. And still knowing how to entertain, it seems the hitmaker will take over The O2 for Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball 2024.
