Wendy’s throws shade as Katy Perry returns from space

When Pop Craze posted a simple update on X – “Katy Perry has returned from space” – most fans replied with celebratory emojis and a touch of awe. Not Wendy’s.

The fast-food chain, known for its more informal online persona, fired back with a sharp four-word reply: “Can we send her back” (no question mark, because punctuation seems to be optional these days).

It’s classic Wendy’s tone - part sarcasm, part scorched earth – but the question (or lack thereof) sparked debate.

What did Wendy’s mean with X post?

Was this a dig at Perry’s music catalog? A rogue intern with strong feelings about Smile? Or was it something spicier – a veiled political jab at a time where deportation rhetoric is heating up again?

Some users took it at face value, chalking it up to mild pop star trolling. Others suggested the timing, combined with recent headlines about Trump’s immigration policy, gave the comment an edge.

Perry, for her part, hasn’t yet responded - though she’s probably still readjusting to gravity. As for Wendy’s, they’ve remained silent, letting the free publicity swirl like soft-serve in a malfunctioning machine.

Whether it was shade, satire, or a social media manager having a weird Monday, one thing’s clear: no one is safe from the Wendy’s account – not even a woman fresh off the Kármán line.
