On the American Idol set on Sunday, Katy Perry had a little fun by playfully poking fun at Gene Simmons, the legendary member of KISS.
The 39-year-old vocalist of Fireworks, who previously showed off her sly ensemble while at Coachella, posed with the rock star on Sunday’s episode when the competitors sang songs by Rock & Roll Hall of Fаme honorees.
The official names for the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fаme, which included Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, and Cher, were also revealed on the special night.

Perry was spotted beamingly posing alongside the 74-year-old guest mentor Simmons as they stopped for many photos against a bright blue backdrop.
The mother-of-one looked stunning in a turquoise figure-hugging dress made of a glittering material. She accessorized her elbows with a lovely matching scarf.
Her brown hair, parted in the center, fell past her shoulders in soft waves with ease.
Katy’s makeup for the evening was drаmаtic and included a smokey shadow around her eyes and a coat of mascara on her lashes.
She applied a subtle blush to her cheeks and a satin tint in the hue of nuԀe on her lips as a finishing touch.
In order to make her gown the major attraction, she wore a pair of statement silver earrings and kept her other accessories simple.
Famous for being the bassist and co-lead singer for the rock group KISS, Gene looked dapper in a traditional black suit and a white shirt with the collar slightly undone.
In addition to wearing a pair of chic brown shades, the singer carried a handkerchief in the suit jacket’s left pocket.

In addition to striking various stances for the camera, Perry and Simmons also protruded their tongues when facing one another.
Over the years, Gene has become well-known for his characteristic move while performing live with KISS.
Later, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, two more American Idol judges, joined the pair as they paused for a special group photo.
At the 2015 Starkey Hearing Foundation So The World May Hear Gala in Minnesota, Katy and Gene were spotted taking a similar stance almost ten years prior.
On the red carpet, the two could be seen poking their tongues out as the Dark Horse hitmaker used her phone to snap a momentary selfie.
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fаme inductees were also revealed by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and judge Lionel Richie on Sunday’s show.
A Tribe Called Quest, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gаng, Ozzy Osbourne, and Mary J. Blige are among the performers whose names were made public.
According to an official release, as reported by Entertainment Weekly, the category celebrates “artists who have created music whose originality, impact, and influence has changed the course of rock & roll.”
Norman Whitfield, MC5, Dionne Warwick, and Jimmy Buffett will receive the Musical Excellence Award.
While filming American Idol on Sunday, Katy also shared a funny video on her regular Instagram profile.
