Katy Perry is once again going viral for her 2025 Met Gala look, despite not actually showing up to the 2025 Met Gala. The pop star recently kicked off the North American leg of her Lifetimes Tour, which kept her from actually attending the annual fashion extravaganza.

AI-generated images of Katy Perry on the 2025 Met Gala red carpet went viral for the second year in a row and left fans stumped over her attendance. Last year, AI-generated images of the singer at the 2024 Met Gala even tricked her mom Mary into thinking she was there.

No, that still wasn't Katy Perry at the Met Gala. For the second consecutive year, fans were fooled by AI-generated images of the "Firework" singer and recent space voyager all decked out on the red carpet for fashion's biggest night on Monday.
