Viral videos on TikTok are sparking controversy and online conspiracy theories after allegedly leaked text messages between pop star Katy Perry and her mother surfaced.

July 05, 2025: In the unverified messages supposedly shown here on TikTok by user @nevrcrd, Perry reportedly claims she was paid “millions” for participating in a recent space mission — a mission some now suspect may not have been real.

The text messages, which have not been authenticated and appear riddled with spelling mistakes, have led to a storm of speculation on social media. In one of the alleged exchanges, Perry’s mother expresses concern, saying her life “isn’t replaceable,” to which Katy allegedly responds that she can supposedly “cash” 60 million. The phrasing and lack of clarity in the messages have led some users to question their legitimacy, suggesting they may have been altered or entirely fabricated. There is currently no evidence proving the texts are genuine, and neither Perry nor her representatives have commented publicly on the matter.

Critics point out that the lack of a clear source for the messages, combined with obvious typos and inconsistencies, indicates the texts may have been doctored — possibly as a reaction to the skepticism already surrounding the space mission itself.

Despite this, conspiracy theories have flourished online, with some claiming the mission was staged. There is no evidence to back this up.

The situation underscores how quickly misinformation can spread on social platforms, especially when it involves high-profile celebrities and viral content. Until there is official confirmation or denial, the alleged texts remain nothing more than an alleged internet mystery — one that continues to fuel debate and speculation across social media.
