Mariah Carey has seemingly taken a swipe at fellow pop superstar Katy Perry in a cryptic social media post following Perry's recent spaceflight with Blue Origin.
The All I Want for Christmas Is You hitmaker shared a glamorous photo of herself on Instagram with the caption: "Not all of us can go to space... some of us have to stay grounded." Fans were quick to interpret this as a subtle dig at Perry, who became the latest celebrity to travel to the edge of space aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket.
Fan Reactions and Speculation
The post immediately sparked reactions from fans, with many suggesting Carey was referencing Perry's high-profile space adventure. One fan commented: "Mariah coming for Katy's space journey I can't!" while another wrote: "Queen of staying on Earth and slaying."
Perry, who traveled to space with her partner Orlando Bloom, hasn't responded to Carey's post. The Firework singer had described her space experience as "life-changing" in numerous interviews since returning to Earth.
A History of Friendly Rivalry?
While there's no known feud between the two chart-topping artists, this isn't the first time Carey has made headlines for her witty social media posts. Known for her diva persona and sharp tongue, the five-octave vocalist often keeps fans guessing with her cryptic messages.
Industry insiders suggest this may be nothing more than playful banter between two of music's biggest names. However, the timing of Carey's post - just days after Perry's space trip - has certainly raised eyebrows.
As both artists continue to dominate the music scene, fans will be watching closely to see if this potential shade develops into a full-blown celebrity spat or remains just another amusing moment in pop culture history.
