Still, Perry knew she had to clarify that the stunning photos were created using Artificial Intelligence, and she had not attended the Met Gala. ©GettyImages A social media user and Artificial Intelligence enthusiast created customized photos of Katy in an outfit that fitted the theme of the event—"Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." They went viral after publicly sharing the images, reaching millions, including the "Firework" interpreter and her mom. The American Idol judge did not hesitate to share them on her Instagram account, alongside a screenshot of a text message from her mother, who was fascinated with her look for the gala. "Didn't know you went to the Met," she wrote. "What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your float lol," reads the message. To this, Katy reacted: "Lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE." Along with the posts, Katy explained her absence at the MET Gala, an event to which she is usually invited. "Couldn't make it to the MET, had to work," she wrote alongside a carousel of publications with a video in a recording studio. ©@katyperry Katy Perry is a reference at the MET Gala.
