Katy Perry's expedition to space has now been etched into the history books. It was meant to be a transformative experience for her, but as she landed back on Earth from her 11-minute space voyage, what she got instead was ridicule and mockery. It is now being reported that the online backlash has gotten to her so much that she is regretting making a cosmic spectacle out of the event.


Hilarious fan reactions to Katy Perry's alleged admission of guilt

The hype for Katy Perry's trip to space was astronomical, and she sure had her moments in space, which was broadcast live for the entire world to see. As she landed back on Earth, fans, experts, former astronauts, and celebs alike all piled on her misery by criticising her.

Reports are now stating that she is reflecting on her choices, ruing the decision to make it a public event. But there's still no escaping the public opinion, and fans are still at it, mocking the pop star more fiercely than ever for her questionable life choices:

"Poor baby. Did she find out she's not really an astronaut?", joked one fan (via X / @LadyGuinevere99)
"Stop saying your astronaut because your not you fool", trolled another fan (via X / @Pam32252117895)
"Well don’t claim to be an astronaut or that you “united world” simply for taking an expensive ride to the edge of space for less than 11 minutes", added another

Fans took special offence at the term 'astronaut' being attached to Katy's name. Why the outrage? The fans argued that the term exemplifies the courage and determination, and is reserved for NASA's finest, and not for pop stars chasing after clout. Fans dissected her each and every move, right from the moment she first boarded the space shuttle.

And thus, the trolling began. Again. Photoshopped edits featuring Katy Perry flooded the internet as the netizens poked fun at the absurdity of the situation:

When the rumors went viral on social media, Katy Perry's fans took it as vindication of her self-awareness and bravery. They applauded her for her grace and spun a narrative around her. However, it didn't take long for the narrative to crumble as netizens reveled in the chaos they had created:

"I felt like. Closer to like. Love. Like . Omg", joked one fan, in a tone that sounded like he was practically gushing.
"Society let her know!", exclaimed another (via X / @Hunter_Eagleman)

Katy Perry's voyage to space is a story that shows no signs of slowing down. Users had a field day on the internet as they turned one of the most stratospheric moments of recent history into a punchline. This just goes on to prove that the internet is a really unforgivable place where they can turn even the slightest of foibles into a shortcoming.

While Katy may regret turning her journey into an exhibition, fans on social media certainly don’t, and they are already demanding Round 2!
