Earlier this week, fans were concerned after a video of Katy Perry's eye "malfunctioning" on stage went viral.

After a few moments, everything was back to normal and the show went on as planned.

Of course, a video of Katy's eye "malfunction" was soon posted on social media, and fans were immediately concerned.

"Stress does that to your eye it really does hopes she gets some good rest," commented one user.

"Omg that happens when you’re stressed. Or tired and those lashes get heavy," speculated another.

"my eye twitches from stress sometimes...it could be that, it usually only triggers one eye and is hard to control ur eyelid while it's happening," said a different user.

After a few days of speculation, Katy is finally addressing what happened that night while also poking fun at people who had some out of this world conspiracy theories.

Reposting the video on her Instagram, the 38-year-old explained what exactly happened that night.

"Welcoming all my #flatearthers #spaceisfakers #birdsarentrealers #skyisntbluers to come see my broken doll eye party trick IRL in Vegas next year!" the singer began.

"The show’s set list is a fun through memory lane going all the way back to 2008, a time when we weren’t all frozen by the paranoia of our own echo chambers!"

"This show is a nonstop party about finding unconditional love and strangely (for me) not political at all, heck I pour beer out of my [explective] (that’s a party trick too… I don’t actually lactate hops silly goose!)"
