Katy Perry bid farewell to "American Idol" after seven seasons.

In the live finale of "Idol" on Sunday night, a variety of Perry's hit songs were performed, including "Teenage Dream," "Dark Horse," and "California Gurls," and Perry jumped on the judges' table after the performance.

At the end of the three-hour show, Perry also performed the song "What Makes a Woman." She had announced in February that she would leave the singing competition airing on ABC.

The season 22 winner was also crowned during the finale, with Wé Ani winning after singing Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?"

Perry is heading to Brazil this fall to attend the Rock in Rio music festival, which may conflict with "Idol's" production schedule.

Perry has been a judge alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan since 2018.

The show's official Instagram account posted a video of Perry eating pizza while the ladies sang some of her top 12 songs, commenting: "We'll miss you @katyperry, thank you for 7 unforgettable seasons! Go be a butterfly."
