Katy Perry Slammed By Fellow Celebrities On TikTok For Going To Space

by

Following her involvement in a female-only space expedition led by Blue Origin, Katy Perry has been met with criticism on TikTok, with users like Emily Ratajkowski voicing concerns that the journey is seen as exclusive and disconnected from societal issues.

From Pop Star To Problematic Figure

In more recent times, Katy Perry’s popularity has decreased significantly compared to her peak chart-topping days. Her latest return to music was met with disappointment from both commercial and critical perspectives, being labeled as lacking in creativity and relevance by fans. To add to this, she persists in collaborating with Dr. Luke, a producer who has been accused of sexual misconduct by singer Kesha, which has only intensified the criticism directed at her. This alliance for female empowerment rings hollow when working alongside an alleged predator.

Currently, she finds herself amidst another heated debate: a high-end voyage to space via Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, advertised as an “empowering all-female” expedition. However, this image of empowerment is being met with skepticism on TikTok.

Emily Ratajkowski Calls Her Out — And The Internet Joins In

Actress Emily Ratajkowski, famously known as a model, didn’t mince words. In a widely shared TikTok post, she criticized Katy Perry’s journey to space, labeling it as “distasteful” and accusing it of being an insensitive showcase of wealth and privilege amidst the ongoing climate crisis. Her video sparked a flurry of responses, with TikTok users swiftly reacting by creating their own content, highlighting the contradiction between portraying the spaceflight as a feminist statement while ignoring the pressing environmental issues at hand.

The events didn’t end there. Actress Olivia Munn shared similar thoughts, stating that “It’s such an immense amount to travel to space, while many can’t even afford basic necessities like eggs.” Their comments ignited a significant online response on platforms like TikTok and Twitter.

Emily Ratajkowski criticizes Blue Origin’s all-female space trip:

“That space mission this morning, it appears more like a spectacle than a sincere effort to promote environmental care. It’s contradictory to fly into space in a spaceship constructed and financed by a company that is contributing significantly to planetary destruction.

Eleven Minutes, Endless Backlash

Criticism has erupted broadly over Katy Perry’s 11-minute space voyage, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Twitter. Users have been quick to criticize the environmental consequences of this journey, as they argue that a considerable amount of carbon dioxide was emitted for such a brief and symbolic excursion. While Katy Perry characterized the flight as a beacon of “hope,” her statement seems to have intensified the outrage, with many claiming she’s disguising environmental damage under hollow words.

Online, some users focused on the ecological consequences, while others mocked the dramatic tone of her return —
especially the moment she kissed the ground after just eleven minutes in space.

The general reaction has been overwhelmingly negative: some are laughing, others are calling her out directly, but very few are actually inspired.
