Luke Bryan talks 'emotional' farewell to Katy Perry on 'American Idol,' advice for new judge

The "Love You, Miss You, Mean It" singer spoke to "GMA" at CMA Fest 2024 about how he and Lionel Richie had a "really emotional" and "perfect" farewell with Perry, who has been a judge on the singing competition show alongside them for the past seven seasons.

So what does the country superstar think the "Firework" singer's replacement needs to have in order to fit in and succeed? Luke Bryan performs onstage during the 2024 CMA Music festival at the Nissan Stadium on June 07, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee."Oh, gosh. Tolerate me and Lionel, first and foremost," he joked, later adding with a laugh, "Whoever you are, just be on time."Perhaps the best piece of advice came from Bryan's final tip for whoever joins "American Idol" as the show's newest judge: "Just have fun with it and don't treat it like a job," he advised.

Tune into this year's CMA Fest special, hosted by Ashley McBryde and Jelly Roll, when it airs Tuesday, June 28, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
