Katy Perry‘s Blue Origin space mission was mocked by fast food chain Wendy’s and her pop rival Kesha on Monday.
While numerous celebrities have criticized the star-studded, all-female space flight on Monday, Wendy’s made their surprise stance on it public with a Tweet targeting Perry.
The official page for the burger joint commented on a photo of the singer in her space suit shared by Pop Crave, which had the caption ‘Katy Perry has returned from space.’
Wendy’s responded with a comment that read: ‘Can we send her back.’
The Wendy’s account went on to repost photos of Katy kissing the ground after landing back on Earth. ‘I kissed the ground and I liked it,’ they wrote, in reference to Katy’s song ‘I Kissed a Girl.’
Kesha piled onto the drama, posting a snap of herself enjoying a Wendy’s shake and smiling.

Many have been criticizing the historic 11-minute expedition, which briefly carried Perry, Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn into space.
After one account pointed out that Perry was only in space for 10 minutes, Wendy’s wrote back, ‘Don’t short change her it was 11 minutes.’
Another fan wrote, ‘Good one Wendy’ to which the account replied, ‘I’m a woman send me to space.’
Model Emily Ratajkowski was also among the growing number of stars criticizing Blue Origin for the space flight.
She said she was ‘disgusted’ by the expedition.
‘That space mission this morning? That’s end time s**t. Like, this is beyond parody,’ Ratajkowski said in a TikTok video.
‘That you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s singlehandedly destroying the planet?’ she went on.
Blue Origin is owned by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 61, who is engaged to Sanchez, 55.

Ratajkowski continued, wondering about the purpose of the quick space journey. ‘Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what? What was the marketing there?’
