Wendy’s Twitter (X) Post Explained
Katy Perry made headlines this week for her quick trip to space with Blue Origin, but the real drama happened back on Earth. The pop star’s 11-minute spaceflight became the target of jokes—first from fast-food chain Wendy’s, and then, seemingly, from fellow singer Kesha. But why and how? Here’s what went down.
What did Kesha tweet about Katy Perry’s Blue Origin flight?
After Katy Perry returned from her brief journey to the edge of space, Wendy’s took a jab at her.
Pop Crave, posted a picture of Perry in her spacesuit with the caption “Katy Perry has returned from space.” The fast-food chain, Wendy’s, commented on the post, writing, “Can we send her back?”

They then re-posted a tweet featuring the singer seemingly kissing the ground upon her return. Referencing her hit song “I Kissed a Girl,” they captioned it, “I kissed the ground and I liked it.” The tweet quickly went viral, with fans reacting to the fast-food chain’s unexpected pop culture reference.

Joining them was Kesha, the fellow singer, who didn’t say anything directly about Katy Perry’s space trip but she took a subtle jab. She posted a photo of herself smiling while sipping a Wendy’s milkshake on X (formerly Twitter). The timing was too perfect to ignore, and fans immediately connected the dots.
The tension between the two singers isn’t just about space travel. Kesha and Katy Perry have a complicated history due to their connections with producer Dr. Luke. Kesha previously accused him of abuse, which he denied. While Perry recently worked with him again on her album 143—a move that upset some fans, given Perry’s past support for Kesha. Kesha never publicly addressed Katy Perry’s comments, but fans found her Wendy’s post a quiet, cheeky way of weighing in.
Katy Perry’s Blue Origin flight was part of an all-female mission meant to celebrate women in STEM and space exploration. However, critics questioned whether a quick celebrity joyride was the best use of resources, especially with environmental concerns around space tourism.
