Katy Perry knows what people say about her.
And now she has something to say about it in response.
Last week, as you probably know now, Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King and Perry were launched in the room last week as part of a mission aboard Blue Origin’s new Shepard Rocket.
The ship’s all-high crew set off on a flight that took them just outside the threshold of the Earth’s atmosphere and which lasted a total of 11 minutes.
In the wake of this so -called mission, Perry has in particular achieved mockery for various observers due to a subsequent social media post where she kissed the earth and acted as if she had been away from her home planet for months.
“It was very profound. I don’t know if you’ve seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she’s basically a guru now,” Joe Rogan said in an example of this setback.
Heck, even Martha Stewart got a shot at Perry in the very dramatic way in which the singer responded to this rocket launch.
Perry has not even said very publicly in response, but she performed on Thursday night in Mexico and asked the audience:
“Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?”
To be ready, no one has slammed Perry just to want to do as an astronaut.
The criticism has come in several parts: For the cost of this launch (over $ 1 billion, money that might have been used in a better way for society) … for the way many have tried to feel this mission as a positive step for women … and as we quoted above, for the way Perry especially responded to the efforts.
Later during this same concert, Perry, meanwhile, called two fans who arrived in blue space suits for her lifetime tour.
“I want these gentlemen to come on stage because they are dressed as my most current timeline,” she said on stage.
To be kind of fair, perry hair noticed earlier that this kind of larger expedition had been a lifelong goal.
In fact, she told Elle prior to the launch on April 14 that she “would go to space for almost 20 years.”
“I explored all the possible commercial possibilities,” Perry added. “Even when blue origin first talked about commercial journey to space, I was like,” sign up! I am first on line. ”” ”
It’s great and all.
But the way Perry has gone all over this thing has turned off many people.
Celebrities such as Emily Ratajkowski threw the mission and said that view “optically resembles progress” for women in science.
In fact, she said that the owner of Blue Origin Jeff Bezos’ decision to take her fiancé Sanchez “and a few other famous women for space for space tourism is not progress.”
“Instead, this just speaks to the fact that we absolutely live in an oligarchy,” Ratajkowski continued in a April 15 Tiktok video.
“Where there is a very small group of people who are interested in going into space to get a new lease on life, while the rest of the population – most people on the planet Earth – are worried about paying rent or having dinner for their children.”
