American Idol is officially back, with the iconic singing competition launching its 21st season on February 20th.
With the return of the show to ABC, so are its mainstay judges and host returning to their duties, with Ryan Seacrest leading each episode, and Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan taking on the big decision of who is the next American Idol winner.
It is no easy feat to review the singing abilities of so many aspiring singers, and have to decide who to turn down and who to move forward, so where do the show's stars go back to relax after filming? Each one of the five stars have beautiful homes across the country, from Montecito in California to Nashville in Tennessee.

Katy Perry
In 2020, Katy and her fiancé Orlando Bloom – the two share daughter Daisy Dove – sold their Beverly Hills home and opted for a new property in the celebrity – and royal – loved Montecito area. The $14.2 million home is complete with a pool, manicured grounds and stunning scenery.

Lionel Richie
Lionel has lived in his Beverly Hills mansion since 1999, the year he purchased his home for $6 million. He took the interiors back to their original roots, uncovering wood floors, limestone walls and dramatic staircases. The living room has an 18th-century embroidered wall hanging with shelves on either side. In front sits an amboyna piano, while silk-upholstered furniture adds a luxurious touch.

The property boasts 150 acres, and the family call it Red Bird Farm, in memory of Luke's late sister. It features the main home, a barn for rescued animals, a party barn for charity events, a guest house, and a catfish pond.
