On the three-hour Season 6 finale of American Idol on ABC, the remaining contestants take the stage for the final time in front of judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, as America decides who will be the next Idol.
When not encouraging singers to give it their all on stage, Perry is often modeling and promoting her shoe collection, as seen below.
When Perry shared the photos and video below, more than one fan thought it was Perry posing nude in the bathtub, modeling her ‘Twisted’ slip-on heeled sandals. Note: the model has raven-colored hair similar to Perry’s and her eyes are hidden behind dark sunglasses.

As one fan (who assumed the model was Perry) replied: “I love your long sexy toes.” Another chimed in: “You yourself in your products both are beautiful. All mind-blowing.” And another thanked Perry for modeling the shoes: “the gold (shoes) are perfect on your lovely feet, wow they look amazing.”
When another fan realized it wasn’t Perry, they wrote: “not you catfishing us” with a laughing crying emoji.
In the very last photo, Perry tags the professional model featured in the photos, Kimberly Nieves (who is also seen below).
Note: Catfishing is defined as “a deceptive practice in which a person uses someone else’s photographs, to establish relationships with others under false pretenses.”
American Idol airs Sundays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
