Martha Stewart’s digs are out of this world!
The legendary lifestyle guru, 83, is the latest celebrity to throw shade at the Blue Origin space crew, which included stars like Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez, but she seems to be aiming directly at the “Fireworks” singer.
Perry’s been catching backlash after proudly accepting being labeled an “astronaut” after her roughly 11-minute space journey on Monday, and now, Stewart is weighing in.
Stewart took to social media on Friday to essentially say, “been there, done that,” posting a throwback video of her time on a Zero-G flight almost two decades ago where she experienced weightlessness.
“In case you spaced out in 2007, Martha has always been ahead of her time 🌟,” her Instagram caption read.
The video showed Stewart with NASA astronauts floating in a rocket at the International Space Station in Florida.
While her caption didn’t call out Perry, it was what was written across her video that fans’ caught attention.
Stewart’s space clip included the musician’s lyrics to her 2010 hit “Firework.”
“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?” the video caption read.
Followers immediately flooded her comment section with delightful responses, pointing out the timeless shade.
“The drag we needed! 🔥🔥🔥,” one person wrote. “Martha Steward started the ‘Women Taking Up Space ‘ movement . 🙌,” another added.
“I love the universal dragging. So good,” replied a third. “I don’t remember Martha ever calling herself an astronaut,” someone else commented, in reference to Perry’s post-flight interview where she was told, “You are officially an astronaut.” The “Roar” singer replied, “Thank you.”
The Post reached out to Perry’s rep for comment.
Stewart isn’t the only one to drag Perry and the other celebrities who took to space in Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission.
Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde, Kesha, and even Wendy’s got in on the action.
“I know this is probably obnoxious but like, it’s so much money to go to space, and there’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs,” Munn asked on “Today With Jenna & Friends” ahead of the rocket launch.
“Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think it’s a bit gluttonous. Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?”
Wilde posted an image of Perry when she returned to Earth and kissed the ground after the space adventure.
“Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess,” the actress wrote.
Wendy’s asked, “Can we send her back,” referring to the pop star and space.
The fast-food chain doubled down with a follow-up post showing Perry’s ground-kissing return.
“I kissed the ground and i liked it,” Wendy’s wrote, a playful reference to her song “I Kissed a Girl.”
Perry has not addressed the backlash, but some of her fellow space crew members have.
“Anybody that’s criticizing it doesn’t really understand what is happening here,” King told People. “We can all speak to the response we’re getting from young women from young girls about what this represents.”
“I would love to have them come to Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don’t just work here, but they put their heart and soul into this vehicle,” Sánchez told the outlet.
“Come with me. I’ll show you what this is about, and it’s really eye-opening.”
