During the most recent installment of American Idol’s 21st season, Katy Perry became visibly emotional while listening to Trey Louis, a 21-year-old salesman from Santa Fe, Texas, sing an emotional rendition of Whiskey Myer’s Stone, released in 2016. Trey’s performance garnered a standing ovation from the judges, and during his interview, he shared that he was a survivor of the tragic 2018 school shooting at Santa Fe High School. He also expressed his desire to change people’s negative perception of his hometown through music. Following Katy Perry’s emotional reaction on the show, she made an appearance on the red carpet.

Louis recounted a traumatic event that took place in May 2018 during his audition. He was at school when a gunman entered and killed eight students and two teachers, leaving a lasting negative impact on Santa Fe’s reputation. After sharing this heart-wrenching story, Judge Lionel Richie let out a deep sigh. However, Luke Bryan praised Louis’ emotional singing, recognizing that he sings from his heart. Katy Perry also became emotional and shed tears as she listened to Louis’ moving story.

The individual speaking expressed a sense of dismay towards the nation’s inability to address a particular concern, resulting in a lack of advancement. A music-related event turned sour due to circumstances that could have been avoided, leading to the untimely loss of eight companions. It is imperative to emphasize the necessity for change and that the current situation has gone on for too long. The speaker hopes that Louis can take charge in instigating positive change, something which Louis has vowed to accomplish for himself, his school, and the speaker.
