Katy Perry Goes Viral For Fake Met Gala Photo That Fooled Her Own Mom
HuffPost
The "Roar" singer has attended the annual fashion event for years, but was notably absent this time.
Katy Perry didn’t make it to the Met Gala on Monday — contrary to what a viral deepfake suggested.
The “Roar” singer has been a longtime guest at the annual fashion event in New York City and shown up in dazzling outfits for years. Perry was absent this time — only for red carpet photos of her to go viral and be revealed as artificial intelligence creations.
While it remains unclear who made them, Perry’s own mother was fooled by the images.
“Didn’t know you went to the Met,” Mary Perry wrote her daughter in a text message Monday, which the singer shared on Instagram for her 207 million followers. “What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float lol.”
Katy Perry, who couldn’t keep her in the dark, replied: “lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!”
