Katy Perry¡¯s floating hair and Lauren S¨¢nchez¡¯s ring have the internet screaming fake space: Did they really go?
Katy Perry and Lauren S¨¢nchez¡¯s iconic accessories from their Blue Origin space ride are now fuelling wild internet conspiracy theories. From Perry¡¯s suspiciously tame hair in microgravity to S¨¢nchez's blingy ring (which should not even be allowed), social media is convinced the spaceflight was a staged production ¡ª and the drama is astronomical.
What do you get when you mix pop royalty, billionaires, and zero gravity? Apparently, a conspiracy theory so chaotic it could outshine the actual rocket launch. Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Lauren S¨¢nchez made headlines for joining Blue Origin¡¯s NS-31 all-female space flight, but the internet had other ideas.
While Jeff Bezos¡¯ space company hailed the flight as a momentous leap for women in space tourism, X (formerly Twitter) users were more concerned about... hair physics and forbidden bling. Yes, really.
Hair today, hoax tomorrow?
First up in this cosmic controversy: Katy Perry¡¯s hair. A bunch of eagle-eyed internet sleuths couldn¡¯t help but notice that her hair seemed a little too... controlled during the zero-gravity scenes. Unlike NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, whose wild floating mane became a low-orbit legend, Perry¡¯s strands were suspiciously chill.
One user even pointed out that Williams¡¯ hair once freaked out former U.S. President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Perry¡¯s barely moved. ¡°When I go underwater, my hair floats in every direction. Space is way more floaty than water ¡ª so what¡¯s going on with Katy¡¯s hair?¡± another user questioned.
And not only that, a huge chunk of the internet really thinks that it was a complete hoax.
I¡¯m still mad that they dumb ass think we finna believe Katy Perry just went to space.

Spoiler alert: Perry's hair might have just been set by elite stylists pre-launch, while Williams had been surviving space life with no access to a proper shower for months. Context matters, folks.
S¨¢nchez¡¯s ring and Gayle King¡¯s ghost hand? We are spiraling
If the hair was not enough to launch a thousand TikToks, Lauren S¨¢nchez¡¯s sparkly ring definitely added fuel to the fiery debate. Internet truthers were quick to scream ¡°fraud!¡± because big jewellery pieces are typically a no-go in space missions due to safety protocols. So how did her massive ring make it aboard?
And let us not forget Gayle King¡¯s hand, which allegedly ¡°vanished¡± mid-air during a floating shot. One TikTok creator urged viewers to slow down the footage and see it for themselves ¡ª proclaiming it as the ultimate green screen proof. ¡°What are they distracting us from?¡± they questioned ominously.
But the mystery hand was simply a by-product of bad video compression. The original video uploaded by Blue Origin shows no such vanishing act. Experts have even pointed out that third-party reposts, often riddled with overlapping logos, tend to glitch out like this. So maybe not the smoking gun everyone hoped for.

The final verdict: Space tea is hot, but the facts are hotter
Despite the drama, the NS-31 mission was still a landmark moment for women in space tourism. But clearly, no rocket can fly fast enough to outrun the internet¡¯s imagination. Between Katy Perry¡¯s gravity-defying glam, S¨¢nchez¡¯s space ring, and Gayle¡¯s alleged ghost hand, Blue Origin¡¯s latest launch has officially reached galactic gossip levels.
As one user wrote (and probably regretted later), ¡°If it looks fake, it probably is.¡± Or maybe, just maybe ¡ª it¡¯s 2025, and even space has a PR team.
