Katy Perry is appearing to speak out against the backlash that ensued following her Blue Origin space flight.
Perry, 40, kicked off her Lifetimes Tour on Wednesday, April 23, in Mexico City and appeared to recreate choreography from her space travels while flying in the air dressed in a silver metal bodysuit.
The Daily Mail reported that she took selfies with men dressed in blue NASA space suits during the performance. At one point, Perry allegedly asked the audience, “Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?”
Perry and the all-female Blue Origin crew — CBS Mornings host Gayle King, Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos’ fiance Lauren Sánchez, aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn — traveled to space on April 14 for an 11-minute flight. The mission quickly received criticism from many celebrities, including Joe Rogan, Jessica Chastain and Olivia Wilde.
Joe Rogan has some thoughts about Katy Perry and the all-women Blue Origin space flight — and he’s not holding back. “It was very profound. I don’t know if you’ve seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she’s basically a guru now,” Rogan, 57, sarcastically said on the Saturday, April 19, episode of his hit […]
Model Emily Ratajkowski, for her part, reacted to the rocket’s takeoff on TikTok, saying she was “disgusted” by the event. “That’s end time s***,” Ratajkowski said in the clip. “Like, this is beyond parody.”
“You say that you care about Mother Earth, and it’s about Mother Earth, and you go up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet,” she continued. “Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what?”
Perry’s fellow space travelers King and Sánchez have defended their trip. King told People in a statement that “anybody that’s criticizing it doesn’t really understand what is happening here.”
Perry, for her part, has gushed over her 11-minute journey which she called “second to being a mom.” Perry, who shares 5-year-old Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom, explained why she brought her little girl’s namesake flower on her trip.
Wendy’s is addressing its controversial X posts about Katy Perry’s journey into space. The “Firework” singer was among the all-women crew aboard a Blue Origin spaceflight that ascended above Earth for around 11 minutes on Monday, April 14. She was joined by CBS Mornings host Gayle King and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren […]
“Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition,” she said. “They grow through cement. They grow through cracks. They grow through walls. They are resilient. … It’s a reminder of our beautiful Earth and the flowers here and God’s smile and the beautiful magic that is everywhere, all around us, and even in a simple daisy. So, to really appreciate it and remember it and take care of it and protect it.”
While in space, Perry performed a cover of Louis Armstrong‘s “What a Wonderful World” — rather than a song of her own.
“It’s not about singing my songs. It’s about a collective energy in there. It’s about us. It’s about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,” she explained in a post-flight interview. “And it’s about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.”
