Katy Perry was not at the Met Gala last night, but her cryptic posts on social media revealed even her own mother was confused about her attendance.

Katy, 39, is known for her amazing Met Gala looks, having previously appeared dressed as a chandelier, a burger, and an angel in years gone by. 

However, her look at last night’s gala raised eyebrows for a rather unique reason – it was entirely AI-generated. 

Posting on her social media, the Roar singer shared an image of herself wearing a low cut floor length gown with flowers and foliage growing up from the hem and into the bodice of her dress.

The image appeared to show that she was on the red carpet at the Met Gala 2024, and one of the many guests showing their interpretation of the Garden of Time dress code. 

But actually, the star was working and relied on AI to generate some images of herself at the event. 

The caption of her post on Instagram read: ‘Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work.’

The post showed a second AI image of the star in another Met look, a metal corset with a short skirt made of grass and flowers, accompanied by a wet hair look. 

Another image showed a text exchange between the I Kissed a Girl singer and her mother, who was also duped by the images. 

‘Didn’t know you went to the Met. What a gorgeous gown, you look like the rose parade, you are your own float lol,’ a text from Katy’s mother read in a screenshot.

To this the American Idol judge responded: ‘Lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!’

A lot of the singer’s fans were confused and believed that the star was in fact at the fashion event, and looking incredible in this imaginary outfit.

@igobylu commented: ‘I really reposted this believing it was true. Ai is getting way too good cause you ATE in the metaverse😍😍😍.’

@xxkatyqueenxx also commented: ‘The AI image of you was better than all of tonight’s creations.’ 

Another fan, @Drakayris said on Twitter: ‘Nah cause the katy Perry look being AI makes me so mad cause it’s literally the best look i’ve seen tonight and it’s not even real.’

The star used this attention from the Met Gala to reveal that she was in the studio making more music at the moment. 

The final slide was a video of Katy in a studio singing into a microphone. The audio was cut from the clip so fans could only hope to lip read to try and work out what the lyrics were to the Part of Me singer’s new track.

Katy hasn’t released an album in four years. Her last studio album was Smile in 2020, which featured songs such as Never Really Over, Daisies and Not the End of the World. 

Just before the release of this album, the star gave birth to her daughter with Orlando Bloom, Daisy Dove Bloom. The celebrity couple have kept their daughter out of the limelight but have been open about their excitement and adoration for their only child together.
