Ariana Grande Affirms Moon Landing, Rejects Space Trip in New Vanity Fair Polygraph

Her latest Vanity Fair lie-detector segment with Bowen Yang became a moment to redirect attention to issues on Earth.

Overview

  • Grande stated unequivocally that the 1969 moon landing happened and said she wants to move past last year’s viral exchange.
  • Last year’s Vanity Fair polygraph labeled her initial response about the moon landing as inconclusive, which set up the reprise in the new interview.
  • Pressed about recent celebrity suborbital flights, she noted those trips only went briefly above Earth and said she would not travel or sing in space.
  • She emphasized frustration with the moon discourse, saying her focus is on urgent problems on Earth rather than space spectacle.
  • The exchange came during a Vanity Fair lie-detector video promoting Wicked: For Good with co-star Bowen Yang, part of the publication’s recurring polygraph series.
