Singer Katy Perry is bidding farewell to American Idol but there is a very good reason behind that.

While fans of the show and stars in general were sad to hear that she was leaving, new reports on this front have spoken about a possible replacement and it would be none other than Taylor Swift.

The music sensation Katy Perry is seemingly taking a few steps away because she feels that it’s time to expand her family and take her love life to the next stage with lover Orlando Bloom.

From what we can reveal so far, Perry will reportedly step down from being the judge after a whopping seven seasons. The news comes as bosses from ABC are not believed to agree with the fact that she deserves a higher pay. So, we can reveal that the reason for her quitting is a little more complex than what many had thought about initially.

Perry will reportedly step down with hopes of raising a bigger family with longtime lover Orlando Bloom. Perry also similarly plans to roll out a new album and perform live in the next few years as this would be curtailed by filming schedules.

The news of her departure shocked quite a few fans as they did not see this one coming. She made the startling announcement while appearing alongside Saturday night host Jimmy Kimmel Live.

This is where she added how that was her last show and how grateful she was to the family for giving her this opportunity to star in the show as a leading host.

One source who happens to work as a consultant on a leading network for ABC revealed how three factors in a play centered around her final decision and starting a family was one of them.
