In the clip, Katy spoke to the camera about upcoming programming and urged viewers to watch.

The pop star wore a full face of glamorous makeup, with her long dark hair down in shiny waves.

She wore a statement denim dress with a thin velvet scarf, and accessorized with a pair of dangling sparkly earrings.

“Guys, tune in, don’t miss it!” the 38-year-old said.

“We’re going to be live coast to coast and we’re going to have our special guest, Adam Lambert. He’s going to be here for Rock.”

The TV personality’s plea comes amid fan criticism of her actions on the show.

Katy has come under fire for her behavior toward contestants, with some fans even suggesting she should be replaced.

‘UNPROFESSIONAL’

Katy recently appeared shocked when contestant Wé Ani became the last person picked for the top 12.

The hitmaker also failed to give Wé any feedback on her performance of Adele’s song, Skyfall.

The commotion started when Katy said she was “shook” over the results of the votes and urged viewers to vote for their “faves.”

On Reddit, one critic said: “Katy was hands down rude from the face she made (that at first, I read as disbelief over Wé’s incredible performance), to go on and on about voting for your favorite contestant. It was incredibly unprofessional.”

Another added: “Wé treated rudely. After her performance, instead of giving feedback, Katy reminds everyone how important it is to vote.

“Um. Hello. Can you give this poor girl her feedback first? Katy’s comment sounded like she was saying: ‘Jeez America, why’d you vote this girl through.’ So unprofessional and unfair.”

During the auditions rounds, Katy was previously accused of “mom-shaming” contestant Sara Beth Liebe with her “hurtful and “embarrassing” comments.

SHAKE UP

In an online thread, followers theorized pop star Pink would be a great addition to the show because Katy and her co-star Luke Bryan, 46, “need to go.”

One fan said: “Has anyone ever asked Pink if she’d do any of these shows?

“I just think she’d be amazing!”

Another wrote: “Pink would be able to give good helpful feedback while being kind about it.”

A third fan agreed and mentioned: “Pink has so much multigenre experience too! She seems like a given!”

Fans have also demanded the return of former judge Harry Connick Jr., 55, to replace the Knockin’ Boots singer.
