Popular fast-food chain Wendy’s took aim at Katy Perry after she returned to Earth as part of an all-female Blue Origin mission.
On Monday, the “E.T.” singer joined Gayle King and Jeff Bezos’ fiancee, Lauren Sánchez, for a historic mission to space.
But after the NS-13 crew landed back at Blue Origin’s West Texas base, the official X account for Wendy’s threw shade at the “California Gurls” hitmaker.
“Can we send her back,” the fast-food chain’s account wrote on X in response to a tweet that read, “Katy Perry has returned from space.”
The account went on to repost photos of the singer kissing the ground following her return from space.
“I kissed the ground and I liked it,” it tweeted, referencing Perry’s hit 2008 track “I Kissed a Girl.”
But it didn’t stop there.
After one person pointed out that Perry and her crewmates had only been in space for a total of 10 minutes, Wendy’s sarcastically tweeted back, “Don’t short change her it was 11 minutes.”
“Good one Wendy,” a fan wrote, to which the account replied, “I’m a woman send me to space.”
“When we said women in stem this isn’t what we meant,” the fast-food chain added.
It’s unclear why the fast-food chain took aim at Perry in particular. However, its Gen Z-centric social media account is known to send out sarcastic and snarky tweets from time to time.
Perry and her crewmates have been hit with mass backlash over their space flight Monday, with the criticism coming from not only fans but some famous faces as well.
Celebrities like Amy Schumer, Olivia Wilde, Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn made their feelings on the space mission clear as they expressed their distaste following Monday’s mission.

Not me either.
I don’t trust it and with my luck it would explode or crash!
Like those ppl who thought that deep sea diving small sub was safe where they all died from an implosion.
Same reasons for you?
Also, I don’t see the point to this.
Just a rich MAN’S toy to make money off suckers.
And they don’t really go, “into space.”
Just a short trip really high.

I hadn't really thought about exploding/crashing.
I just have no interest in doing what they did.
Gayle King is angry people are calling it a "ride."

Ach so!
Then happy Easter to…them!

I have to laugh at her calling it a, “mission!”
Like as if they did something groundbreaking or important.
They didn’t fly it or do any work.
Just sat there.
Damn!
How stuck up can one get?
It was a joy ride on a rich man’s toy for the rich.

I guess they want to maximize the return on those set pieces and the CGI models.
Nooooooooooooooooooo, Kate Perry was just in space and only kissed the ground.
And this thread is so wonderful. -

I kissed the ground and I liked it
The taste of dirt and rocks and sticks
I kissed the ground just to try it
I hope real astronauts don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I did anything in flight
I kissed the ground and I liked it
I liked it
