Katy Perry gives fans massive shoutout amid ongoing online backlash

Katy Perry clapped back at her critics at yet another concert in response to the ongoing online backlash since her space flight.

Perry's latest response came as she took to the Chicago stage on Monday, telling the crowd “Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet" when met with applause for an extended period of time.

The Grammy winner's diss was also captured in a fan video, in which the singer then added, "I think that's false" as the audience continued to praise her.

The online criticism dates back to her 11-minute flight into space courtesy of Blue Origin this April, where she was joined by Jeff Bezos' fiancee Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, activist Amanda Nguyen, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

As they successfully entered space, Perry sang a few lines of What a Wonderful World while they were floating in zero gravity. Upon landing, the singer kissed the ground.

She also gushed about the experience on Instagram. "One day when you’re older, will YOU still look up in wonder?" Perry began.

"Still processing this incredible journey. Thank you @blueorigin and to my space sisters, taking up space AND making room in space for all - 143. See you on tour (when I come down, figuratively)."

Since then, the singer has been combatting social media chatter including an April 29 online commentary as Perry hit back in the comments.

"When the ‘online’ world tries to make me a human Piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed," Perry wrote.
