Katy Perry is no stranger to the spotlight, but her recent adventure with Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket was a whole new level of crazy for her.

We all know she has her own dramatic flair that not alot of people can compete against. Whether we’re talking about her extravagant songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Last Friday Night”, or her literal chandelier outfit

at the Met Gala. Seriously, who else could pull that off? Perry has a way of turning any moment into pure spectacle. And ofcourse she took that flair… straight into space.

On April 14th, 2025, Katy Perry joined the all female-crew aboard the New Shepard rocket, making history alongside other amazing women like journalist Gayle King and engineer Aisha Bowe. Sounds pretty cool right? But let’s be real. While this trip was certainly groundbreaking, it was yet another classic “Katy Perry seeking attention” moment.

As the rocket blasted into space, Katy wasn’t watching the earth slowly shrink away. She wasn’t just an astronaut, she was a performer. 

While the rest of the crew was likely taking in the view or trying to process the whole “we’re in space” thing, Perry had one thing on her mind: Making the moment all about her. Enter the daisy. Yes, you read that right. A single daisy floating in zero gravity as a tribute to her daughter, Daisy Dove. It’s sweet, sure. But also… Was that really necessary? I mean, it’s a flower in space. Calm down, Katy. 

And yet, that’s exactly how it went down. 

Not only did she hold onto the daisy like it was her own personal golden ticket, but she also serenaded her fellow astronauts with “What a Wonderful World”, because why not turn the entire spaceflight into a mini-concert? Maybe the stars were her audience, and maybe she was just waiting for her que to drop the mic. Either way, it’s the most Katy Perry moment in the history of space travel.  

But wait, there’s more. When the capsule finally touched down back on earth, Perry wasn’t just relieved, she was dramatic. She literally dropped to her knees and kissed the ground, clutching her daisy like it was an award.

“We did it, Daisy!” she yelled, revealing the moment. Honestly, at that point, I half expected her to start singing “Firework” and calling it a comeback tour.

In the end, Katy Perry’s space journey was a perfect blend of history and her signature flair for the dramatic. She made sure every moment was about her, from the sobbing about Daisy to kissing the ground. 

While the rest of the crew was probably reflecting on the significance of the mission she was making sure her trip was unforgettable. Maybe next time we can skip the daisy, and just let the stars do the shining. After all, it’s hard to outshine the cosmos, unless you’re Katy Perry.
