On September 24, Katy tweeted “Popular misconception: being a mom isn’t a full-time job.” She has been very upfront about how she plans to continue to work while taking care of her newborn. The American Idol judge continued “Part 2: when a mom finally goes back to work (whatever profession they do) it’s not like they been coming from months of ‘time off …’ she’s coming from a full-time job … of being a mom, lol.”
“Part 3: call your mom and tell her you love and appreciate her and advocate for paid family leave!” she wrote.

Katy Is Back On Set With Her Fellow Judges
Katy along with fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan were all photographed back on the set of American Idol along with host Ryan Seacrest. The fourth season of the Fox installment of the show is set to premiere sometime in 2021. The show is taking new precautions in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic in order to ensure the contestants and judges’ safety.
The judges and Ryan were reunited in pictures posted on Instagram with the new audition set up. Katy was glowing in a giraffe printed outfit and a matching hat showing off her post-baby body. Ryan also flaunted some new facial hair gearing up for this new exciting season.
Normally, the judges go on the road to find talent from across the country. This time, the judges will stay put in California while contestants travel to audition. The judges will be sitting six feet apart from each other to maintain social distancing and everyone will be tested regularly for coronavirus. While we probably won’t have any appearances from Katy’s baby this season amid the pandemic, she will definitely talk about taking on the role of motherhood at some point on the show.
