Ever wonder if celebrities ever buy into conspiracy theories like the rest of us? Turns out, they just might.

During a recent Vanity Fair interview, Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo took part in a hilarious lie detector segment. In a viral video, the "7 Rings" singer appeared bewildered when Eviro asked her if she believed the moon landing was fake."Do you think the moon landing was fake?" her talented co-star asked. 

Grande, visibly confused that anyone would ask her such a crazy question, responded, "Jesus Christ. What do you take me for?" 

While her reaction was signaling that she didn’t believe the moon landing was fake, the machine showed otherwise. The woman who was in charge of the lie detector, Stephanie, revealed that Grande’s results were “inconclusive.”

When Eviro asked her once again if Grande really thought the moon landing was fake, she said, “No, not till now. Not till Stephanie puts that in me.” But then the machine reported that Grande was being "deceptive."

Erivo wasn’t done though. "Do you think the Earth is actually flat?" she asked, to which Ariana fired back, "No. What in the f*** do you think I am?" The lie detector, however, revealed that she may have been telling the truth about that. They decided it was probably because Grande had a lot on her mind. "Yeah, I'm thinking about a lot of things," Ariana admitted, and honestly, haven’t we all been there?

Grande gets defensive and doubles down on her statement, though she does ask why there haven't been "more videos" like the first moon landing. Completely frazzled, Grande insists that she believes in the moon landing and that the segment has been a "nightmare," and her being from Florida makes it worse.

But whether we want to admit it or not, many people don't believe the moon landing actually happened. Then again, there's a small chance that the machine was screwing up and Grande is telling the truth. According to APM Reports, a lie detector is "highly accurate," citing an accuracy rate above 90% if done correctly.

In the end, Eviro tried to wrap up the segment nicely by announcing, "Ariana Grande believes that the moon landing is real." Grande, exasperated but relieved, echoed, "Of course I do!”

Eviro added, “This is just a machine thing, okay?"
