Katy Perry has simply been consuming shot after shot from critics of her latest jaunt into house aboard certainly one of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin aircrafts alongside a terrified Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez and others. From her kissing the bottom upon their return to her post-flight feedback about love, followers, fellow celebrities and even Wendy’s (sure, the fast-food chain) had jokes. After two straight weeks of backlash, the singer has lastly spoken out, admitting to followers that she’s “not good.”
The six ladies aboard the New Shepard described their 11 minutes in house as life-changing, however Katy Perry particularly hasn’t acquired the warmest welcome residence (and definitely no $7,000 purse, as Lauren Sánchez did from the Kardashians). The singer took to social media to handle the backlash and thanked the followers who’ve proven concern. She started her prolonged remark by saying:
I am so grateful for you guys. We’re on this stunning and wild journey collectively. I can proceed to stay true to myself, coronary heart open and trustworthy particularly due to our bond. I really like you guys and have grown up along with you and am so excited to see you everywhere in the world this yr! Please know I’m okay, I’ve performed quite a bit work round understanding who I’m, what’s actual and what’s vital to me.
Her message continued, saying she’s realized by way of remedy that “nobody could make you imagine one thing about your self that you do not already imagine about your self.” She’s taken her emotions about Luke Bryan questioning if Jeff Bezos had served mushrooms to the flight crew and different criticisms as a possibility to look inward, and it appears like she thinks different individuals may stand to do the identical. Katy Perry’s message continued:
When the ‘on-line’ world tries to make me a human Piñata, I take it with grace and ship them love, trigger I do know so many individuals are hurting in so some ways and the web may be very a lot so a dumping floor for unhinged and unhealed.
Since their journey into house on April 14 (which was lined reside on the 2025 TV schedule by CBS and with a Paramount+ subscription), Katy Perry and — to a lesser diploma — her 5 crewmates have been accused of being “tone deaf” and referred to as “house vacationers.” Folks have criticized the flight as a waste of cash and sources throughout robust financial instances and argued that the all-female flight made no significant contribution to getting extra ladies and women into STEM.
To what diploma Katy Perry agrees or disagrees with the factors of her critics is unknown, however she concluded her assertion by admitting:
l’m not good, and I even have omitted that phrase from my vocabulary, l’m on a human journey enjoying the sport of life with an viewers of many and generally I fall however… I get again up and go on and proceed to play the sport and in some way by way of my battered and bruised journey I maintain trying to the sunshine and in that gentle a brand new stage UNLOCKS ♥️
Whereas that is probably the most Katy Perry has mentioned in regards to the subject, it’s technically not the primary time she’s addressed the backlash. As her Lifetimes Tour 2025 kicked off in Mexico final week, she requested the group if anybody had ever referred to as their desires loopy as she carried out a present that included a number of space-themed components.
We’ll must see if this challenge continues to be a thorn within the sides of Katy Perry’s critics, nevertheless it sounds just like the singer herself is able to transfer ahead.
