So… it turns out Katy Perry never attended the 2024 Met Gala. The “photos” of her posing on the red carpet in a floral dress have been confirmed to be fake. If you were fooled by the AI-generated images, don’t worry because even Perry’s mom thought they were real. After hearing about the mixup, the “Smile” singer joined the fun by sharing the viral AI photos on her own Instagram.
Katy Perry AI Photos Go Viral During 2024 Met Gala
In her post, Perry shared two AI-generated images of her seemingly posing on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The star wore a floral dress adorned with butterflies and dark green moss in one photo. Meanwhile, a second image showed Perry in a bronze-colored corset top paired with a green skirt made from leaves.
Fans went wild over the looks since they thought Perry perfectly encompassed the event’s dress code, “The Garden of Time.” In fact, many even named her one of the best-dressed celebrities of the night. While it would have been amazing for Perry to be at the show, she sadly couldn’t make it.
After the Katy Perry AI photos garnered a lot of attention online, the “Daisies” singer revealed on Instagram she had to skip the event due to her busy schedule. So, what could have been more important than attending the 2024 Met Gala? Recording new music!
Perry hinted she has a new album on the way by sharing a video of her in a recording studio. If the rumors are true she’s making a comeback, it’ll mark her first new album since the release of Smile in 2020.
