Katy Perry Mocked by Wendyโ€™s and Internet After Space Trip

Pop Star Katy Perry was mocked as she soared into space on Monday with five other high-profile women. But after returning to Earth, she faced a wave of online mockery, including from an unlikely source โ€” fast-food chain Wendyโ€™s.

All-Female Crew Makes History

Perry joined journalist Gayle King, Jeff Bezosโ€™ fiancรฉe Lauren Sรกnchez, filmmaker Kerianne Flynn, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe.

Their 11-minute Blue Origin mission made headlines for being the first all-women crew to travel to space since 1963.

They crossed the Karman Line โ€” 66.5 miles above Earth โ€” before parachuting safely back to the Texas desert.


Katy Perry mocked: Wendyโ€™s Tosses Shade With Tweet

Moments after the crew landed, Wendyโ€™s took a shot at Perry on X (formerly Twitter).

Responding to news of her return, the brand asked, โ€œCan we send her back?โ€

Then it doubled down, posting a photo of Perry kissing the ground and quipping, โ€œI kissed the ground and I liked it,โ€ referencing her 2008 hit.

The Jokes Kept Coming

As internet users joked about the tripโ€™s short duration, one fan noted it lasted just 10 minutes. Wendyโ€™s fired back sarcastically, โ€œDonโ€™t short change her, it was 11 minutes.โ€

Another tweet from the brand read, โ€œWhen we said women in STEM, this isnโ€™t what we meant.โ€

The accountโ€™s Gen Z tone, known for edgy humor, made the jabs go viral.

Perryโ€™s Dramatic Exit Draws Mixed Reaction

Upon exiting the capsule, Perry kissed a daisy in honor of her daughter and then the ground.

Some praised her passion. Others rolled their eyes, calling it overly dramatic.

Even fans questioned the gesture, with one user posting, โ€œGirl, get up. You were gone for 10 minutes.โ€

Conspiracy Theories Erupt After Launch

Soon after landing, conspiracy theories exploded online.

Some users claimed the launch was fake and filmed in a studio. Others went further, calling it a โ€œsatanic ritualโ€ and accusing Perry of being an occult symbol.

Critics also zoomed in on the crewโ€™s mission patch, alleging it contained secret satanic imagery โ€” claims that have no basis in reality.

Psychologists Explain the Viral Spiral

Experts say celebrity and space exploration often trigger conspiracy thinking.

Dr. Daniel Jolley from the University of Nottingham explained that the mix of fame, wealth, and mystery fuels distrust.

When people lack information or feel uncertain, they seek deeper โ€” often false โ€” explanations.

Backlash From Celebrities and Fans

Beyond memes and trolls, some celebrities criticized the mission too.

Amy Schumer, Olivia Wilde, Emily Ratajkowski, and Olivia Munn reportedly expressed discomfort with the launch, calling it a โ€œpublicity stuntโ€ during a time of global crises.

Perryโ€™s Tribute Sparks Sentiment and Sarcasm

Perryโ€™s space suit included a firework next to her name, referencing her 2010 anthem. She also carried a daisy โ€” her daughterโ€™s namesake โ€” as a personal touch.

Other crew members had icons on their suits, like a microphone for Gayle King and a fly for Sรกnchezโ€™s childrenโ€™s book.

Mission Completed, Controversy Continues

Despite the online noise, the mission ended successfully. The rocket lifted off at 9:30 a.m. and returned without incident.

But Perryโ€™s short journey to space quickly turned into
