This is thesecond time Perry has had a notable breakdownwhile judgingAmerican Idol– the first being in response to the heartbreaking story of a survivor of the2018 Santa Fe High School mass shootingwho auditioned for the show earlier this year.
After performing, Trey Louis, a 21-year-old from Santa Fe, Texas, let the judges in on the tragic mass shooting he endured, saying, “As I said before, I’m from Santa Fe, Texas. In May 2018, a gunman walked into my school. I was in art room one, and he shot up art room two before he made his way to art room one.”
Continuing, “Lost a lot of friends. Eight students were killed. Two teachers were killed. And uh, it’s just really been negative, man. Santa Fe’s had a bad rap here since 2018.”
In response, all three judges got emotional; however, Perry started shedding tears while voicing her enragement about the shooting, sayingin a now-viral clip, “Our country has f—ing failed us.”
Adding, “This is not OK. You should be singing here because you love music, not because you had to go through that s—. You didn’t have to lose eight friends. I hope that you remind people that we have to change because, you know what? I’m scared, too.”
