In a surprising twist of fast-food drama, Wendy’s is making headlines in 2025 for addressing its playful feud with pop superstar Katy Perry following her recent space venture with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.

Just days after jokingly suggesting that Perry should be sent back to space, Wendy's has issued a statement applauding her talent. "We always bring a little spice to our socials, but Wendy’s has a ton of respect for Katy Perry and her out-of-this-world talent," the chain revealed to Rolling Stone, conspicuously omitting any words of apology.

Wendy’s didn’t hold back during the social media frenzy surrounding Perry’s space flight, which made history by featuring an all-women crew making the journey beyond the Kármán line. Under a Pop Crave post celebrating Perry's triumph, they cheekily commented, "Can we send her back?" They even added, "When we said women in STEM, this isn’t what we meant"—a statement that drew mixed reactions.

The fast-food giant’s remarks ignited the interest of Perry’s former friend Kesha, who playfully supported the idea by posting an image of herself grinning while sipping from a Wendy’s cup.

But it wasn't just Wendy's throwing shade; numerous celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Wilde, and Olivia Munn also joined in the critique. Munn expressed her concerns, remarking, "I think it’s a bit gluttonous. Space exploration should be aimed at advancing knowledge and benefiting mankind. What’s the value of this mission for those of us back on Earth?" The ongoing conversation raises intriguing questions about the motives behind such extravagant ventures into outer space.
