Almost as soon as the pop star Katy Perry came back from a very brief trip to space with a group organized by Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, derising comments began.
In the slate, Heather Schwedel wrote: “It was one thing to understand intellectually that Katy Perry, Gayle King in space aboard a rocket of blue origin would actually be 11 minutes of 11 minutes. Of war and not a multimillionaire returning from the shortest journey of influence in the world. »»
Ellen Cushing, writing for the Atlantic, proclaimed Ms. Perry as “perfect pop star for a stupid blow”. Various celebrities, such as actress Olivia Wilde and the model Emily Ratajkowski, criticized Ms. Perry and the Blue Origin flight.
Even the X account for Wendy came after Ms. Perry on Tuesday in a series of messages (among them: “can we send her back”). On his face, it seemed a little strange. Why did a fast food chain offer a touch snark about a pop star heading to space?
But a decade and more after the singer-songwriter Linda Perry described Ms. Perry’s music as popcorn in the microwave, we could be forgiven to wonder if Wendy’s messages were a former supplier of empty calories fighting with another.
