Fastfood giant Wendy’s is not looking to shake things up with Katy Perry.
The fast-food chain recently responded to the backlash it received after cracking a joke about the pop star, 40, launching into space last 14 April y as part of the all-female Blue Origin crew.
After a series of posts on X poking fun at Perry, the burger giant has explained its stance.
"We always bring a little spice to our socials, but Wendy’s has a ton of respect for Katy Perry and her out-of-this-world-talent," the company told People in a statement last 17 April.
Wendy’s beef with Perry came to a head after Pop Crave posted an update about her launch into space on X.
The pop culture account said, "Katy Perry has returned from space," to which the official Wendy’s X account responded, "Can we send her back."
The jokes didn’t stop there, as Wendy’s also commented beneath a photo of Perry kissing the ground after she returned to Earth.
The account wrote, "I kissed the ground and i liked it," a play on the artist’s hit track "I Kissed a Girl."
Fans flocked to the comments section to share their upset over Wendy’s riffing of Perry, with one source telling People that the post wasn’t cheeky as much as it was cheap.
