Mariah Carey fans are loving a video of her learning about Katy Perry's trip to space — almost four months after the fact.
The singer was asked in an interview if she would like to go to space as Perry did, but Carey expressed some disbelief: "Did she go to space?"
Scott Mills, the host of The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC's Radio 2 assured the powerhouse vocalist that, yes, Perry had.
"Where'd she go?" Carey asked again.
Mills looked at her quizzically. "Space?" he offered.
The "Last Friday Night" singer joined CBS journalist Gayle King, and four others for an all-female commercial spaceflight on April 14 through space-tech company Blue Origin, which is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The journey took a little more than 10 minutes.
Carey couldn't get over it.
"Into orbit and back? She's, like, floating?" Carey asked. "And this is true?"
The host assured the star that it was factual.
"Wow," Carey said. "All right, Katy."
She added, "I'm not mad at her. That's pretty amazing."
Mills appeared to tease Carey when he said, "Well, I mean, she hasn't stopped talking about it since, but it happened." Mills then got back to his original question: Would Carey go to space?"
"I think I've done enough," Carey replied, much to the internet's glee.

The show's share of the video was full of comments including "iconic" and brilliant."
"I love that Mariah just lives in her own bubble!" another person wrote. "What a queen."
The prolific singer is known for her very Mariah comments.
In October, for instance, when the superstar was told that she should have more Grammys — she's won five, but has been nominated 34 times — she agreed.
"They scaaaaammed me," she said on the Las Culturistas podcast. "They toy with me."
Most famously, Carey insisted in an early 2000s interview that she wasn't aware of her fellow singer Jennifer Lopez, which led to rumors of a feud that have since been debunked.
