Mariah Carey's Viral Confusion Over Katy Perry's Space Trip

According to a recent BBC Radio interview, it appears Mariah Carey was completely unaware of Katy Perry's space trip that took place last April. When asked by host Scott Mills if she would consider going to space like Perry, the 56-year-old singer responded with a series of surprised questions, including "Did she go to space?" and "Where'd she go?"

After Mills confirmed that Perry, 40, had indeed traveled to the edge of space and back aboard a Blue Origin rocket, Carey seemed genuinely shocked, saying "Wow. Alright Katy" and adding that she was "not mad at her" for the accomplishment. The interview clip quickly went viral, with fans amused by Carey's apparent lack of knowledge about the high-profile space mission.

Perry's 11-minute flight in April was part of an all-female crew that also included journalist Gayle King, philanthropist Lauren Sánchez, activist Amanda Nguyen, and NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe. While the trip was celebrated by some, it also drew criticism from actress Olivia Munn, who questioned the importance of such space tourism efforts compared to other pressing global issues.

Despite the mixed reactions, Carey's hilarious responses during the BBC Radio interview have captured the public's attention, further cementing her reputation as a pop culture icon who often lives in her own unique bubble.
