Ah fuck is Katy Perry actually cool?

Edit: didn't think I'd need to indicate that I was speaking in jest but /s

Oh hahaha oh my gosh no. No. Hahaha no, she was on this non-space airplane ride because she is so painfully UNCOOL that she’s having trouble selling tickets to shows. This was a “NOTICE ME” stunt by her PR people

Not a fan of her or her music but publicity aside, I'd jump at the opportunity if I were in her shoes!

Yeah I don’t understand how people can’t look at the very simple equation here. “Do I want to go to space? Yes that sounds awesome.“ End of deliberation

Do I think we doing these silly space tourism runs for the rich? No. But you could bet your ass if I was offered a ticket I’d go.

Yeah, I wouldn't even care about the publicity that comes with it.

Ah, I was talking about the satanism connection here lol.

Given that she began as Christian Evangelical pop, then rose to fame with a song fetishising performative homoeroticism as "not what good girls do", no. Quite far off.

Like the barcode person said, this was most definitely a PR stunt because she can't sell her music like she used to. Her recent album after a long break was a total flop.
