Katy Perry, the singer, recently announced that she will compose a song based on her historic space trip. The 40-year-old singer was among an all-female crew that took part in a spaceflight organised by Blue Origin , the aerospace company owned by Jeff Bezos. The crew included prominent women like CBS Mornings anchor Gayle King, ex-rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyen, movie producer Kerianne Flynn, and Bezos's girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.
Katy Perry plans to write a song on her experience
On Monday, Blue Origin posted a video of the crew's experience on social media, with the six women drifting in zero gravity within the spacecraft. The video recorded the moment when the astronauts turned toward the camera and all said simultaneously, "taking up space," representing the need for women's presence in the exploration of space. Perry also carried a daisy throughout the flight, honouring her daughter Daisy, which she later waved triumphantly into the air after coming out of the spacecraft, then kissed the ground in a ritualistic gesture.
After returning to Earth, Katy Perry shared that the experience had inspired her to write a song. She expressed, "I feel deeply connected to love, so incredibly connected to love.
This experience has shown me that you never truly realise how much love is within you—how much love you have to give and how loved you are—until the moment you launch." On board the flight, Perry sang a performance of Louis Armstrong's classic song What A Wonderful World as the crew entered space, a poignant expression of the beauty of the world from a view few have ever had. Her crewmate Gayle King later complimented Perry's choice to sing the song, particularly because other crew members had recommended more energetic songs such as "Roar" or "Firework."
Katy Perry shares emotional experience after returning from Blue Origin spaceflight
After she went back to Earth, Perry gave her an emotional analysis of the experience. The singer articulated that the spaceflight reminded her of how much love she felt for herself and the world around her and encouraged her to think about the infinite capability of love within one. "You never understand how much love you have to give and how loved you are until the day you leave," she stated.
Perry pondered, on deciding to sing "What A Wonderful World" in space, that her higher self-had dictated the choice. She clarified that the song was not about her or her own success but more about cherishing the collective vibe of the crew and the bigger message of occupying space for women in future endeavours. Perry stressed that the experience was about loving Earth and the world around them and loving its beauty, declaring, "This is all for the benefit of Earth."
Perry said she considered her space flight one of the greatest experiences of her life, ranking only behind giving birth to a child. She discussed the psychological challenge of leaving her daughter behind but showed faith in the universe to keep her safe and her loved ones secure. Perry wished to serve as an example of courage and fearlessness by undertaking the experience, highlighting the importance of taking chances and venturing into the unknown.
As she was gearing up for her new tour, Perry revealed that she announced her tour setlist while on her way to space. She described the experience as thrilling and recommended it to everyone. Perry's adventure in space is another addition to her successful career, which started in 2001 and has witnessed her claim many hits such as "Roar," "Firework," "I Kissed a Girl," and "Teenage Dream.
All female crew to Blue Origin spaceflight landed safely to Earth
The historic flight was preceded by a countdown, after which it launched from West Texas successfully. When the rocket crossed supersonic speeds, the excitement of Perry could be heard, with her cheering onboard. The two spacecraft at 28,000 feet, and Perry was treated to a view of the moon, which was a turning point in the mission. For a short while, the crew was unbuckled from their seats and got to experience zero gravity for the first time. They later buckled up to their seats during the return descent to Earth.
The mission lasted only for 10 minutes and 21 seconds, and both spacecraft landed safely back on Earth. Mission control was jubilant with the "booster touchdown," and parachutists could be seen bringing the crew down. As the crew landed, Daisy, Perry's daughter, was observed standing at a distance as safety crews hurried towards the landing area.
