Luke Bryan defended his American Idol co-judge Katy Perry against backlash she received during Season 21 for some thoughtless comments toward contestants. Bryan stated that judges on the show are not going to bat a thousand and may make decisions that don't sit well with all fans. Despite criticisms, Bryan says he admires how Perry has handled the situation with grace, and he believes that sometimes judges need to "roll the dice" with their comments on TV. Making some fans angry goes along with being a celebrity, and it's important to take risks, he says.
