Katy Perry Mocked by Wendy's After Space Flight, Kesha Weighs In
Katy Perry's recent trip to space aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket became a trending topic not just for the journey itself, but for the unexpected social media commentary that followed, notably from fast-food chain Wendy's and fellow p...
Key Insights
- **Space Flight:** Katy Perry participated in Blue Origin's first all-female space mission in over 60 years, alongside Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn. The flight lasted just over 10 minutes, with about four minutes spent in space.
- **Wendy's Roasts Perry:** Upon Perry's return, Wendy's official X (formerly Twitter) account responded to a post about her landing with, "Can we send her back?" The account also made puns referencing Perry's songs "I Kissed a Girl" and "Firework."
- **Kesha's Apparent Shade:** Shortly after Wendy's comments, singer Kesha posted a photo of herself smiling while sipping from a Wendy's cup, widely interpreted as a subtle jab at Perry.
- **Dr. Luke Connection:** **Why this matters:** The online reactions are largely linked to Perry's recent and controversial decision to collaborate with music producer Dr. Luke on her 2024 album "143". Kesha was involved in a highly public, nine-year legal battle with Dr. Luke, whom she accused of sexual assault and abuse (claims he denied). The case was settled in 2023. Perry previously denied under oath an allegation (reportedly originating from a text message between Kesha and Lady Gaga) that Dr. Luke had also assaulted her.
- **Perry's Perspective:** Perry defended her collaboration, stating Dr. Luke was one of several collaborators and that the songs reflected her personal experiences and metamorphosis.
In-Depth Analysis
Katy Perry's journey to the edge of space on April 14th marked a significant moment, being part of Blue Origin's NS-31 mission, the first all-female crewed flight since the 1960s. While Perry described the experience as profound, even sharing that she sang "What a Wonderful World" during the flight and felt confirmations from the universe (citing the capsule's feather logo and "Tortoise" name matching her mother's nicknames for her), the reception back on Earth took a turn.
Wendy's, known for its snarky social media presence, didn't hold back, engaging in multiple posts mocking the singer's brief trip. This online roasting gained further traction when Kesha posted a seemingly pointed selfie featuring a Wendy's cup.
The subtext revolves around Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald). Kesha's lawsuit against the producer, alleging drugging and rape in 2005, became a major point of contention in the music industry. While the suit was settled, Perry's decision to work with Dr. Luke again on her recent music, including the single "Woman's World," drew significant backlash from fans and commentators who felt it disregarded Kesha's allegations. Perry's involvement in the legal case (denying Dr. Luke assaulted her) adds another layer to the dynamic. Kesha's Wendy's photo is seen by many as siding with the fast-food chain's critical stance on Perry, fueled by this complex history.
