Celebrity Katy Perry recently made headlines with her journey into space aboard Blue Origin’s rocket on a landmark flight with an all-female crew. However, the singer’s post-flight experience took an unexpected turn when fast-food chain Wendy’s X account, formerly known as Twitter, shared a controversial comment directed towards her. The restaurant’s tweet asked, “Can we send her back?” in response to news that Katy Perry had returned from space.

The social media post did not stop there, as Wendy’s X account continued to poke fun at Perry by reposting images of the singer kissing the ground upon her return and referencing her hit song “I Kissed a Girl” with the caption, “I kissed the ground and I liked it.” The tweet received mixed reactions from online users, with some finding it humorous while others criticized it as unprofessional and unnecessary.

In a separate exchange, a Twitter user pointed out that Perry and her crew were only in space for 10 minutes. Wendy’s account playfully corrected the information, stating, “Don’t short change her, it was 11 minutes,” which garnered a positive response from followers. The tweet further jokingly expressed, “I’m a woman send me to space. When we said women in stem this isn’t what we meant.”
The unexpected social media commentary from Wendy’s not only caused a stir among fans but also reignited tensions between Katy Perry and fellow musician Kesha. The latter posted a photo on Twitter showing her sipping from a Wendy’s cup, leading to speculation about underlying animosities between the two artists. Kesha’s past legal battles with Perry’s album producer Dr. Luke were brought up by fans in response to the cryptic tweet.
Kesha had previously accused Dr. Luke of sexual assault, which resulted in a lengthy legal dispute between the two parties. Despite settling the case out of court in 2023, the history between Kesha and Dr. Luke continues to be a sensitive topic. Perry’s decision to collaborate with Dr. Luke on a 2024 album faced backlash from Kesha supporters, who questioned her involvement with the producer given the allegations against him.
While Katy Perry has not publicly addressed Wendy’s remarks or the implications of Kesha’s social media post, she has chosen to focus on the positive aspects of her space voyage. The singer took to Instagram to express gratitude to Blue Origin and her fellow female space travelers, emphasizing inclusivity and unity among women. Perry’s message of empowerment and camaraderie stood in contrast to the online controversies surrounding her post-space flight activities.
In conclusion, the intersection of celebrity, social media, and personal history has once again captured the public’s attention through the unfolding drama surrounding Katy Perry, Wendy’s Restaurant, Kesha, and their respective followers. As the online discourse continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the involved parties will navigate these intricate relationships in the public eye.
