Country music fans may be seeing Luke Bryan seated beside Katy Perry as a judge on the rebooted American Idol.
Sources have speculated that money may be the deciding factor.
According to information provided to TMZ, Perry is making $25 million (all figures U.S.), host Ryan Seacrest is making around $15 million and the next high-profile talent will be paid around $6 million – but Bryan is currently a top-seller in the country music world.
Keith Urban, Charlie Puth and Lionel Richie are also reportedly in the running for the judges seats.
