Recently, Katy Perry swung by BuzzFeed to do our puppy interview. Honestly, it was one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

To celebrate American Idol, we asked her all of your burning questions about her music, motherhood, her Las Vegas residency, and, of course, being an Idol judge.

She even paused to give the puppies a mini-concert.

She shared the hardest part of being an American Idol judge...

"Probably being a woman and having a strong opinion."

And the most rewarding part of being an American Idol judge.

"People able to help people find their spark inside of them, their purpose."

She also shared some of her favorite memories from working with her fellow judges, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

Katy also joked about her plan to reenact The Parent Trap with Adele, who also has a current Las Vegas residency.

And she invited Lizzo to join her as the fourth Idol judge.

"I'm feeling a little outnumbered on the testosterone."

And she really bonded with the precious pups — so much that she almost took one home!

You can check out our full puppy interview with Katy below:

And be sure to watch Katy in the American Idol season finale, which premieres tonight, May 21st, on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
