Katy Perry breaks down on ‘American Idol’ after school shooting survivor auditions

American Idol host Katy Perry broke down crying on a recent episode after a survivor of a school shooting auditioned.

Before his performance, Louis revealed that he is a survivor of the Santa Fe school shooting of 2018, which left eight students and two teachers dead.

“I’m from Santa Fe, Texas,” he told the judges and audience. In May 2018, a gunman walked into my school.

“I was in Art Room 1. He shot up Art Room 2 before he made his way to Art Room 1. I lost a lot of friends. Eight students were killed. Two teachers were killed. It’s just really been negative. Santa Fe’s had a bad rep since 2018.”

In response, Perry broke down in tears and told Louis: “Our country has fucking failed us! This is not OK. You should be singing here because you love music, not because you had to go through that fucking bullshit.”

“You don’t have to lose eight friends,” she added. “I hope that you remind people that we have to change. Because, you know, I’m scared, too.”

“We have tolerated this for so long… too long,” Richie added. “It’s become the norm.” Watch the emotional audition below.

“We need to do better! These people are failing our children, we’re failing our communities we’re failing their families — I have four children, and I can’t imagine getting that phone call or that knock on the door.
