Meghan Trainor has expressed her desire to take over Katy Perry's seat on "American Idol," even going as far as emailing show executives to express her interest.

Meghan Trainor has set her sights on becoming the next judge on "American Idol," following Katy Perry's announcement that she will be leaving the show after season 22.

On Wednesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Trainor confirmed her aspirations to join the popular singing competition series. When asked by a fan if she was in talks to replace Perry, Trainor replied, "I've done every interview in the world and said that that is my dream job, and I have emailed three awesome people who work in that world who don't really have the final say."

Trainor's potential addition to the show has also garnered support from Katy Perry herself. In May, Perry told E! News that Jelly Roll, a country star who appeared as a guest mentor on "American Idol," would be a great choice to replace her.

Perry added that she believes Jelly Roll would be an excellent mentor to the young artists on the show, saying, "To have any of these guys plus Jelly on the show would be amazing. I love you, Jelly!"
