Singer-songwriter Katy Perry recently expressed her concerns for fellow musician Benson Boone, revealing that she is “really worried” about the negativity he has faced on his rise to fame. Boone gained viral success with his 2024 hit “Beautiful Things,” but he first caught attention on “American Idol” in 2021, where Perry was a judge. He ultimately left the show to forge his own path in the music industry.
During an interview on “The Scott Mills Breakfast Show” on BBC Radio 2, Benson shared his thoughts on whether Katy has taken credit for his career, explaining, “Do you want to know the actual truth? I actually think that she is really glad that I left the show.”
Reflecting on a recent conversation with Perry at an awards show, he noted that she was happy for him but also quite concerned. “I think she understands that when you are starting to go through all of this, there’s just a lot of hate coming your way,” he said. Boone remarked that Perry was supportive, stating, “She actually really is a lovely person.”
Boone also mentioned that Katy was pleased with his decision to leave “American Idol.” He recalled her telling him, “Leaving that show was the best thing you ever did.” When asked if her comment carried any negative implications about the talent show, he reassured, “No, not at all.” At that time, he was uncertain about pursuing a music career.
He shared that initially, he had doubts about whether he wanted to work in music. “They reached out to me to be on the show because it was during COVID, so you couldn’t go in to audition,” he explained. After posting a few videos online, he felt he had nothing to lose by auditioning. “I was in college; I just thought it might be fun,” he concluded.
