Katy Perry reveals her ‘California crunchy’ Lifetimes Tour necessities
As she kicks off her Lifetimes Tour, Katy Perry dished on the snacks she eats before going on stage and the necessity of meditating as a mother.
Wendy’s is attempting to end its beef with pop star Katy Perry after backlash.
The fast-food chain, known for its salty fries and social media posts, walked back its earlier shade aimed at the “E.T.” singer after posting “Can we send her back” after the star’s appearance on a Blue Origin flight on April 14.
Perry fans slammed the sassy social media post, which came after popular account Pop Crave posted on X that Perry “returned from space,” but Wendy’s clarified the comments in statements to entertainment outlets.
“We always bring a little spice to our socials, but Wendy’s has a ton of respect for Katy Perry and her out-of-this-world-talent,” reps for Wendy’s told Entertainment Weekly and People. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Perry and Wendy’s for comment.
However, Wendy’s stopped short of a full apology.
The singer, along with several other members of a star-studded, all-female crew, blasted off as part of Blue Origin’s latest space mission, taking off and landing successfully. Perry put her pop star duties on hold to explore the outer orbit for 11 minutes.
The mission, called NS-31, also included television personality Gayle King and journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is engaged to Blue Origin (and Amazon) founder Jeff Bezos. The crew was rounded out by former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn. The six women became the first all-female space crew in more than 60 years, Blue Origin has said.
Katy Perry’s Blue Origin mission slammed as out of touch
In the lead-up to the flight, Perry, King and Sánchez all expressed nerves and an eagerness to bring a female finesse to space. And on the day of the launch, celebrity friends including Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner joined the historic moment at the site in Texas.
But the out-of-this-world event was also slammed on social media as out of touch. Fellow celebrities Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Wilde and Olivia Munn were among the Hollywood stars to distance themselves from the mission.
“I feel super connected to love,” Perry said of her trip to space, adding that the flight was “all for the benefit of Earth. She continued: “I wanted to model courage and worthiness and fearlessness,” revealing it was a hard decision as a mom to take that risk but that she needed to “surrender” to the universe.
