Sesame Street is shutting down the appearance of pop star Katy Perry after considering feedbacks from parents. Apparently, Perry's costume that shows the singer's cleavage did not sit well with audience of the children show.

The pop star was originally set to appear on the premiere telecast of Sesame Street's 41st season on September 27. Earlier this week, a video of Perry's appearance was made available online via YouTube. In the video, Perry invites Elmo to play dress up, but Elmo runs away. The pop star begins singing, "You want to play so I wore dress up clothes..." to the tune of the pop star's hit song Hot N' Cold.

The lyrics of Hot N' Cold was modified to be more child-friendly and to teach children the opposite of hot and cold. However, Katy Perry's costume had become the fore issue with parents. The objection to Perry's "dress-up clothes" was strong enough to persuade Sesame Street to cut the segment with the singer.

Sesame Street said: "In light of the feedback we've received on the Katy Perry music video, which was released on YouTube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers."
