Even though the costume was hard to fit into, really difficult to carry and walk around in, Perry made sure that she went into it with full dedication.
She made sure to keep her wits during the entire episode and was helped by fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan and host Ryan Seacrest to get back up.
Earlier, owing to the rigidity of her costume, Perry had to be wheeled into the set and a dolly helped her fit into the chair.
In a series of pics and videos, Perry gave fans a glimpse of what fitting into the mermaid costume and settling down on the seat looked like.
