Fans are spiralling after seeing a video of Katy Perry’s eye twitching freakily during her recent Las Vegas concert.

It looked like the singing star suffered some sort of eyelid malfunction while on stage, and the theories about why this might have happened are as bizarre as the occurrence.

The erratic fluttering of her eyelash, the temple tap, and the deadpan face all say doll, robot, and a possible glitch in the Matrix, according to the numerous conspiracies doing the rounds on social media.

Take a look:

As the clip went viral, HuffPost reported that the “Katy Cats” pounced on the speculations about what could have possibly caused the musician’s eye to appear to close involuntarily:

“She’s glitching,” one person commented on TikTok.

“She lost the WiFi connection,” another joked.

“That baby doll you had as a kid with the eye that kept closing,” said another.

One TikTok user reckons she’s a “Hollywood clone” and points out another concert in which Katy says, “Master, I’m not feeling so well” before falling to the ground and being carried off by a bouncer:

@rodymd888 Katy Perry caught malfunctioning on stage once again… Just another one of hollywoods clones ‍♂️ #fyp #fypシ #woketok #spiritualtiktok #spirituality #viral #viraltiktok #trending #katyperry #woke #wakeup #clone #clonewars #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo ♬ Suspense, horror, piano and music box – takaya

Twitter was also losing its mind over this bizarre situation:

In reality, it seems to be a part of her shtick:

Reddit also came to the rescue with an explanation grounded in reality:

“OK so this is some weird gag she does at her show to resemble those old dolls that opened and closed their eyes when you tilted them,” a fan explained on Reddit.

“I was kinda worried it was a stroke or surgery mishap. But no, she does that on purpose.”

Katy has actually spoken of what she described as her “wonk eye” before while judging on American Idol:

“A bunch of my fans created a fandom over my wonk eye. I even have a fandom that calls itself, ‘Katy’s wonk eye’,” she said. “It’s my right eye. So just celebrate all that stuff. Don’t worry about it,” she told a contestant with the same issue.

She also revealed in 2011 that she had a prescription for her eye condition.
