Pop superstar Ariana Grande has made it abundantly clear that she's completely over discussing the moon landing conspiracy theories that have followed her since last year's Wicked press tour. In a new Vanity Fair lie-detector test video published this Tuesday, the Grammy-winning artist addressed the controversial moment that initially sparked the lunar debate.
The Infamous Lie Detector Test
During the original Wicked promotional tour, Grande's co-star Cynthia Erivo asked if she believed the 1969 moon landing was fake. While Grande verbally answered no, the polygraph test indicated her response was inconclusive. The situation escalated when Grande questioned why there aren't more videos of the historic lunar event, fueling speculation about her stance on the conspiracy theories that have persisted for over five decades according to BBC documentation.
Grande's Earth-First Perspective
Reflecting on that nervous moment, the 30-year-old singer expressed her genuine priorities with characteristic bluntness. "I don't give a rat's ass about the moon; I'm worried about Earth, goddamn it!" she declared. Grande emphasized the urgency of terrestrial concerns, stating "We're burning alive. We're killing each other. Can we worry about Earth for five minutes? Who gives a fuck about the moon and the flag?"
Another Round of Lunar Interrogation
For the current Wicked: For Good promotional campaign, Grande found herself opposite co-star Bowen Yang for another polygraph session. Yang continued pressing the lunar landing issue, asking directly if she believed in the moon itself and whether a flag had been planted there during the Apollo mission. "The last time you were in this hot seat, the machine was inconclusive on if you believed the moon landing was real or not. Would you like a chance to redeem yourself?" Yang asked jokingly.
Grande's response was unequivocal: "No, I want to move past it." When pressed about whether she believes a flag was planted on the moon, she remained deliberately ambiguous, stating "I hear both arguments," which prompted Yang to laughingly respond "You're not helping your case."
The exchange demonstrates Grande's clear desire to shift focus from decades-old space controversies to more immediate planetary concerns, despite continued public fascination with her previous ambiguous polygraph results.
