Katy, 39, served on the judges’ panel alongside Luke Bryan, 47, and Lionel Richie, 74, for the last time.
In an Instagram post, the Dark Horse singer shared a behind-the-scenes clip from her last installment.
During the brief clip, the American Idol judge donned a silver metallic plate over her bare chest.
The metallic plate was tied around her back with several pieces of white thread.

THE BACKLASH
In the comments section, critics slammed the star for being “wasteful with food.”
“This is bad. Shouldn’t throw food just like that,” one critic blasted.
“Don’t waste food. That was silly and disrespectful and childish,” another critic ranted.
“Since when is it a good look to throw messy, greasy food at a group of very nicely dressed fans? This is awful, Katy!” a third critic argued.
