The Katy Perry Space Backlash is INSANE

[Quartz 12,196]

I'm just glad Gaga didn't do this during ARTPOP. The amount of hate Katy Perry is getting for this 11-minute, out of touch excursion is massive. You can just look at the comments in FB, TikTok, etc. 

I personally thought the experience was cool but ultimately not worth it because of how much money and resources (we're talking millions) were wasted for essentially nothing.

I think it's deserved, it's not only directed at Katy.

A 11 minute barely-space visit is so silly 

[REALITY 75,256]

I think the hate is amplified because she’s Katy though  anyone who would’ve gone up would’ve received backlash, but people have been hating on Katy since Woman’s World, so this is just another thing to add to the list

"Out of touch" is her brand at this point. The footage of Bezos trailing her after they all rang that bell really solidified it. A "all-woman" trip to space, and they're all trailed by a bunch of rich men after 

[LadyEnigma 1,118]

It’s rlly not just her, and tbh I do think it’s deserved, she’s made bad move after bad move after bad move and this is really soooo wasteful and pointless ofc people are gonna point that out  Honestly I can feel for her a tad in other situations bc things are indeed amplified just bc she’s a woman but in the same breath the hate train isn’t necessarily for no reason…

[Luna Lovegood 24,296]

honestly it’s still not enough for me tbh, I need to see her read all of it and take it all in and realised how disgusting of a person she is idgaf 

[LaLa 19,403]

Space tourism is one of my biggest pet peeves and has been for a very long time (genuinely, my friends and fam know not to bring it up as I WILL get heated), so I'm just filled with so much joy and validation right now, honestly 

Let's keep this disdainful energy folks, Katy Perry or not!!! 

[Jessica Germ 1,814]

She seriously cannot win  Her music career is in shambles, no one stands nor listens to her music, the one publicity stunt she tries partaking in gets her DESTROYED with criticism. She might be the most hated pop star rn

 

She needs a Joanne Era istg

doing anything with mega billionaires like Jeff Bezos is just an instant no no these days. so out of touch and obnoxious to be truthful. 

she also acted as if she was doing something so profound and important, however it kinda just came off as selfish. risking your life out on this weird, ego driven, glamor moment when you have children is just insane to me. I have a son and could never even imagine putting myself in that situation. it's pure vanity and selfishness imo

part of me feels bad for her because her reputation is so in the gutter and I think people are going to take issue with really anything she does moving forward, but really, she kinda continuously brings it on herself.

It doesn't help that Jeff Bezos' wife was also there. Literally nobody asked for this.

[Awrah999 4,210]

You can label it hate or backlash or whatever you want but it’s all completely warranted 

[NemoMyName 341]

It feels like she didn't change her PR team after the WW disaster, it's the same type of tone deaf desicion.

[OliviaRodrigoStan 5,123]

I feel sorry for her, but it truly was embarrassing. Like, what was the point? . 

Nothing was achieved, it meant nothing, no one cared, it was just... an extravagant, expensive, nothing burger . And Katy saying "I don't wanna sing, it's not about me, this is for the planet", girl, which planet? nobody gives a fück 

[SlowLoris 1,026]

Teaming up with some evil billionaire who was happy to attend trump's inauguration in order to spend millions on a trip to space while people in America are being actively sent to concentration camps with no due process?  All this to promote the tour for the album she made with one of the music industry's most infamous r*pists?  

The situation is giving "not now, grimes"

[Dramatica 13,668]

The very negative environmental impact was completely unnecessary, all this to promote her tour.

Plus, did she really say "I have so much love for mother earth" while taking an unnecessary trip that dumped tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?!
