Mariah Carey just learned that Katy Perry went to space – and it was frankly iconic.

‘Would you fancy going to space?’ Scott Mills asked the pop sensation and certifiable Queen of Christmas in an interview for BBC Radio 2. ‘You know, like Katy Perry did?’

A fairly innocuous question, seeing as everyone in the world was aware of the Dark Horse’s controversial and heavily criticised all-female Blue Origin 10-minute space trip to the Kármán line – well, not everyone.

‘Did she go to space?’ asked Mariah, seemingly genuinely confused.

‘Mmhmm,’ Scott said with a nod. ‘Not for long. I think it was…’

‘Where did she go?’ said Mariah looking around at the crew and seemingly absolutely baffled, perhaps assuming she went to the moon or to a space station.

A crewmember informed her that she ‘just went into orbit and back’.

‘She’s like floating in the…And this is true?’ she said seeming more baffled than ever. Scott confirmed he had not made it up the news.

‘Wow,’ she said in a completely unenthused tone. ‘Alright Katy,’ she added, seeming completely unimpressed.

‘I’m not mad at her, that’s pretty amazing,’ she added.

The real question is of course, does Mariah see herself going to space one day?

‘I think I’ve done enough,’ she said with a laugh.

Fair enough!
