Viral Video Of Katy Perry's Eye 'Glitch' Has Fans Hilariously Concerned She Might Be A Robot

Viral Video Of Katy Perry's Eye 'Glitch' Has Fans Hilariously Concerned She Might Be A Robot

The viral video was taken at a performance from her 'Play' residency in Las Vegas.

There's a new conspiracy theory gripping people online--and for once it's harmless, as well as hilarious.

Some fans of pop star Katy Perry think the singer is a robot after a video clip from her Las Vegas residency captured an "eye glitch."


During a recent performance, Perry appeared to have had some kind of twitch in her eye that briefly made it impossible to stay open.

After massaging her temple briefly it seemed she'd gotten the twitch to stop, and then carried on with the show without so much as a passing reference. See the moment in the TikTok below.

So what is going on here? As we've already covered, she's a robot who glitched. Obviously! Or as one TikTok commenter put it:

“That b*tch is a robot omg we been knew."

At least, that's what fans began saying in a torrent of social media jokes that erupted after the incident. So much so that the TikTok video of the moment has racked up nearly 20 million views since being posted Monday.

Hilarious theories explaining Perry's "glitch" abounded. Some fans suggested she lost her WiFi connection, while others called it a "mechanical failure" remedied by Perry obviously pressing a "button" on the side of her head to get her eye back online.

Another particularly funny commenter chalked it up to a malfunctioning Perry clone. They wrote:

“Clone failure. Next time make sure all software is updated and make necessary patches.”

Of course these are all just jokes and nobody truly believes Perry's a robot. But, like clockwork, conservatives have blamed Perry's "glitch" on--you guessed it--her having been vaccinated for COVID-19.

In a video, far-right commentator Chad Prather claimed:

"Katy was talking about getting the vax, and look, she can't open her eye."

Twitter is also full of jokes about Perry's biggest hit being a non-existent song called "Eye of the Pfizer." We truly live in the dumbest timeline.

Anyway, people on social media have been having a lot of weird fun with Perry's very strange moment.



Others had more legitimate theories about what was going on with Perry, like that she's had too much botox.

Or that she maybe used too much eyelash glue...

Or that it was simply part of the show, which includes a themed segment centered on toys, including those old-school dolls back in the day that had blinking eyes that would get stuck.

Or that it was marketing for a rumored forthcoming video in which she plays a robot.


If you want to do your own research, get a plane ticket to Tokyo--Perry's Las Vegas residency ended this past weekend, but continues in Tokyo next month. Someone has to get to the bottom of this!

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
