Katy Perry does her thing during Wango Tango at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., May 13.
Multiple sources told TMZ that ABC wanted a “name” before recent upfront presentations to advertisers and media in NYC, so Perry reportedly had the upper hand.
Ryan Seacrest is also being courted by ABC to again host the show.
