Did You Fall for It Too? Katy Perry Just Reacted to Those Viral Met Gala Pics

May 6, 2025

Okay, so let’s talk about the glitch in the matrix that had the internet shook last night. Pics of Katy Perry serving major camp-core couture at the Met Gala were everywhere — red carpet shots, close-ups, even fake interviews were circulating. The catch? Sis wasn’t even there. 💅🏼

Yup. The photos? Completely AI-generated. Not a stitch of realness, despite looking insanely legit. And we’re not even clowning you — a lot of us (myself included 😭) were fooled at first.

This isn’t even the first time AI has tried to catfish us with fake Katy content. Last year, a different AI-generated Met Gala look of hers went viral again, and get this — even her own mom fell for it. Like… the bots are out here working overtime.

But Katy’s finally broken her silence and honestly, her response is peak ✨Katy energy✨. She took to IG and posted:

“I couldn't make it to the Met, I'm on the Lifetime’s tour, see you in Houston tomorrow in real life. P.S., this year I was actually with my mom, so she's safe from the bots, but I'm praying for the rest of y’all.” 😭🫡

So there you have it. Katy Perry — not at the Met, but definitely winning the AI battle with humor and a mic drop. Y’all better double check those viral pics next time. The robots are getting too good.

Would you have been fooled if she didn’t say anything? Be honest 👀
