Mariah Carey Sheds 'Savvy' Light on Katy Perry's Space Adventure: Did She Really Not Know?
SPLASHY SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: MARIAH CAREY ACCUSED OF SHADE-THROWING AT KATY PERRY
It's been a wild ride for pop royalty Mariah Carey and Katy Perry, but their latest controversy has left fans reeling. According to sources close to the situation, Mariah seemingly "shaded" her fellow singer after being asked about Katy's infamous Blue Origin space trip.
In an interview with BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills on his Breakfast Show, Mariah was grilled about her interest in exploring the cosmos like Katy did back in April. But instead of giving a straightforward answer, Mariah appeared to be in the dark about the entire ordeal. "Did she go to space?" she asked, seemingly clueless.
Scott playfully teased her, saying, "Not for long," which only added to the awkwardness. When he told her that Katy's space trip was a brief one, Mariah asked where exactly she went. It wasn't until a crew member chimed in from off-camera that the truth finally came out: Katy and her all-female crew had indeed reached orbit before returning to Earth.
Mariah's reaction? A mix of shock and amusement, with a healthy dose of sass thrown in for good measure. "Into orbit and back?" she quipped. "She was, like, floating in the... and this is true?" When Scott assured her that it was indeed true, Mariah deadpanned, "Wow. Alright Katy. I'm not mad at her, that's pretty amazing."
But fans were quick to pick up on Mariah's subtle shade-throwing skills, with many taking to social media to share their theories about the encounter.
"It's clear she knew exactly what was going on," said one eagle-eyed fan. "She's just playing it cool because she doesn't want to fuel the drama."
Others speculated that Mariah might have been trying to downplay Katy's achievement or even subtly insult her for being "tone deaf" and "dramatic" about the space trip.
But not everyone was convinced that Mariah knew what was going on. Some fans argued that she genuinely seemed oblivious to the whole situation, which left them feeling confused but ultimately impressed by her ability to keep a level head.
"I mean, who wouldn't want to be as unbothered as Mariah?" one fan wrote on Twitter. "She's like a superhero, dodging all the drama and living her best life."
As for Katy Perry's space adventure, it was met with both awe and ridicule from fans and fellow stars alike. While some praised her bravery and enthusiasm, others panned her actions as "cringeworthy" and "dramatic." The whole ordeal left many wondering if she had gone too far in trying to make a statement.
But what do you think? Was Mariah's reaction a clever play on words or just a genuine attempt at humor? Sound off in the comments below!
What did Katy Perry do in space, exactly?
For those who might have missed it, Katy and her crew - which included Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King - embarked on a 11-minute journey to the Karman Line, often considered the boundary of space. During their brief time in orbit, they experienced weightlessness for approximately three minutes before returning to Earth.
As for the daisy that Katy famously held during the flight? It was reportedly a nod to her daughter Daisy, and a symbol of new beginnings. But when she emerged from the capsule and kissed the ground upon landing, fans couldn't help but wonder if it was all just a bit too much.
The aftermath: Was Katy's space trip tone-deaf or genius marketing move?
In the wake of her space adventure, Katy faced fierce criticism online for being "tone deaf" and "dramatic." But others saw it as a bold move to promote her latest album and inspire young girls everywhere. Where do you stand on the issue?
