International pop icon Katy Perry and five other distinguished women from various fields returned safely to Earth after making history aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space flight. This marked the first all-female crewed flight to space, an extraordinary feat in space tourism history. The 11-minute suborbital journey took off from West Texas and successfully returned after briefly reaching the edge of space.
Katy Perry’s Emotional Moment After Landing
While moments of zero gravity and the women floating weightlessly mid-flight quickly went viral on social media, it was Katy Perry’s emotional gesture upon landing that truly stole the show. Overwhelmed by the experience, the pop star bent down to kiss the Earth, expressing deep gratitude and love.
"I feel super connected to love. So connected to love. I think this experience has shown me how much love is inside of you, how much love you have to give, and how loved you are until the day you launch," Perry told reporters after stepping out of the Blue Origin capsule.
Katy Perry Sings ‘What A Wonderful World’ in Space
During the moments of microgravity, the six women unbuckled to savor the sensation of weightlessness. Instead of performing one of her chart-topping hits like ‘Roar’ or ‘Firework’, Perry opted for a timeless tune.
CBS host Gayle King, who was also aboard the flight, shared, “We kept asking her to sing ‘Roar’ or ‘Firework,’ but she said, ‘It’s not about me. I want to talk about the world.’ And then she sang ‘What a Wonderful World.’ It was really special.”
