A source told Life & Style it was "the worst job Katy's ever had, from the vile trolling, the vicious backbiting and gossip going on behind the scenes." The source continued, "Certain people didn't want to work. It was frustrating because Katy is a professional, and there's nothing lazy about her, and she doesn't like wasting time, especially hers.

Carrie also brings a unique perspective, having won Season 4 of American Idol in 2005. But what does Katy Perry think about Carrie replacing her?
