The internet is ablaze once again, and this time it’s over pop icon Katy Perry and her recent appearance in what’s being called a Blue Origin space flight video. But instead of applause, the video sparked something else: a flurry of conspiracy theories claiming the footage was “fake”—all because of her hair. A now-viral image juxtaposes Perry, seemingly floating in zero gravity, with another astronaut whose hair behaves much more… floaty. The difference? Katy’s hair looks like it’s been styled for a red carpet event rather than floating freely in microgravity.

The internet didn’t hold back. Tweets, memes, and TikToks exploded with commentary, with one viral caption reading, “Made in a Hollywood basement,” referencing the long-standing conspiracy theory that space footage is staged on Earth. Critics pointed to Perry’s smooth, downward-flowing locks as the “smoking gun” that the footage wasn’t actually filmed in space.

Comparisons were quickly drawn to real astronauts and other space travelers, whose hair typically sticks out in all directions in zero gravity. Perry’s sleek, motionless style? Not so much. Of course, fans and skeptics alike are divided. Some defend the footage, chalking the hair drama up to heavy hair products or clever camera angles. Others say it’s just another example of smoke and mirrors in celebrity space tourism. Whether you believe Katy reached the edge of space or just another high-tech green screen, one thing’s for sure: conspiracy theories never go out of style.
