Ariana Grande Confronts Moon Landing Doubts in Lie Detector Test

In November 2025, pop star Ariana Grande returned for a second round of Vanity Fair's lie detector test interview, a year after the series exposed her doubts about the 1969 moon landing. During the previous interview, Grande's Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo had asked her if she believed the moon landing was fake, to which Grande had responded with skepticism.

This time, Grande was determined to clear the air. Hooked up to the polygraph, she stated firmly that the moon landing had indeed occurred and told her co-star Bowen Yang to "f*** off" if he thought otherwise. However, Yang continued to press Grande, asking if she believed Katy Perry and Gayle King had gone to the moon on their recent Blue Origin space trip. Grande dismissed this, saying they had not.

The interview intensified as Yang questioned Grande's belief in the moon itself, to which she replied that she did believe in the moon, though she joked that she "hears both arguments." Frustrated, Grande exclaimed that she was more concerned about issues on Earth, like climate change and human conflict, than the moon landing.

Grande's moon landing doubts are not unique, as other celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Tiffany Haddish have also expressed skepticism about the historic event. However, NASA has firmly stated that the moon landing did indeed occur, with the agency's acting administrator addressing Kardashian's comments directly.
