Katy Perry and her all-female space crew are officially home on Earth after becoming astronauts, albeit for a total of 11 minutes. The pop star didn't skip a beat, speaking to the press upon landing that the experience left her "connected to that strong divine feminine".
Katy Perry also sang the praises of her crew's hard "training," which, we presume, included floating fabulous and learning how to take window-side selfies in space. The mission might have lasted less than a coffee break, but it was filled with high-altitude adrenaline, cosmic vibes, and a dash of pop star magic.
If you ever were curious about what would happen if Katy Perry went to space, well, now you know: it's equal parts inspiration, glitter, and a reminder that even the lowest of suborbital flights can have a strong message behind it.
Katy Perry went all heaven-philosophical upon her return, saying the experience allowed her to "find the love for herself" and sense the "strength" when she returned to Earth. Which, really, is the sort of thing you'd say coming back from a yoga retreat, not an 11-minute space flight. In her words:
"It is the highest high. And it is surrender to the unknown, trust, and this whole journey is not just about going to the space. It's the training, it's the team, it's the whole thing. I couldn't recommend this experience more. This is like up there with all the, you know, different tools that I have learned in my life, from meditation to the Hoffman's process. "
Katy Perry continued saying:
"This is up there because what you are doing is you find; you are like really finding the love for yourself because you got to trust in yourself on this journey. And then you feel the love when you coming down for sure. And you are feeling that strength! So I feel really connected to that strong, divine feminine right now!"
As soon as Katy Perry's 'divine feminine' interview came out, someone took to their X account and commented:
"rich people just be doing and saying anything"
Following Katy Perry's poetic space recap, someone on X distilled it all with the timeless remark that rich people are basically just doing and saying anything.
One minute, you're rocking sold-out venues; the next, you're hovering in a spaceship discussing divine feminine energy and cosmic self-love like it's a Tuesday pastime. Ordinary people take a walk to get their heads clear, rich people take a rocket.
Now that Katy Perry has come back from her 11-minute space holiday feeling spiritually renewed and faintly weightless, the internet has done what it does best: lost its collective mind.
From profound considerations of cosmic energy to memes on rich folks playing space like it's a weekend break, fans had a lot to say. So buckle up because the responses are coming in faster than that spaceship and with way more turbulence!
Netizens react as Katy Perry says her space trip awakened ‘divine feminine’ energy
Some people used the space journey as the ideal situation to make a few jokes, and remarks zinged in hardly quicker than the spacecraft itself. Ranging from satirical puns on zero gravity to great one-liners concerning interstellar selfies, joking was rampant everywhere.
Others did the same through puns dedicated to space as well as observations and references out of pop culture. The web, as expected, treated the situation like an amateur comedy session:
"kissing the ground when she was only up there for 5mins is crazy," a user @tylerduran21 hilariously commented.
"did she really fly to space or its just in the studio. lol," another user @maitressezeth hilariously commented.
"Katy Perry is a perfect example of someone being diluted to the point of parody by Hollywood nonsense," a netizen @chrismckeever sarcastically expressed.
Others entered the comment section just for the sake of it, throwing in jokes just to be included. Whether they had a valid point or not was irrelevant; what was important was delivering the punchline. From out-of-nowhere space puns to entirely unrelated humor, it was less about facts and more about the laughs.
Just another day on the internet doing what it does best:
"What exactly does she think that she did? She sat in a capsule for 10 minutes and looked out a window. They technically made it to “space” but just barely," a user @LFlies69 hilariously commented.
She acts like she discovered space travel. She went on a 4 minute ride?," another user @MercuriusFilius hilariously commented.
"I told you, she's gotta write better songs now that she's all enlightened," a netizen @SenpaiRogue sarcastically commented.
Naturally, the peanut gallery arrived right on time, talking not for intelligence, but for fun. Some simply wanted to throw in a joke, a pun, or an extraneous thought, all for the sake of internet history. Whether or not it made sense was irrelevant; it was about throwing in the laughter to the launch.
Because if there is one thing more consistent than a rocket, it's the comment section arriving with jokes:
"Did she prepare this little speech before she went up?," a user @TheRoyalOwl00 hilariously commented.
"Creative people," another user @challinor_dave hilariously commented.
"Katy Perry's new single: Space High & Divine Feminine dropping soon…?," another netizen @smshrokib sarcastically commented.
"She needs to get better writers," a netizen @bowen_boston sarcastically wrote.
Who went to space with Katy Perry? Meet the all-women crew
The team is now home on Earth, and let's just say they've kind of redefined "teamwork". Aisha Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist and tech mogul, was hanging out doing rocket science as a weekend hobby kind of thing because who doesn't play around with rockets in their downtime, right?
And then there's Amanda Nguyen, out here juggling civil rights leadership with space travel, because who requires a single duty when you can double up on saving the world and becoming history in the making on the cosmic front? These two are essentially the ultimate multitaskers, saving the world orbit by orbit.
Gayle King seemed poised to make zero gravity a talk show feature, Katy Perry brought such stardom to the table that the rocket might as well have been a concert backstage, Kerianne Flynn wore "future documentary" like a badge on her mission, and Lauren Sánchez?
She might be able to interview aliens halfway through orbit without sweating. Honestly, if this crew went out for brunch at this point, they'd resolve three world crises and still make it back in time for round two of lift-off.
According to Katy Perry, there's nothing like home!
After 11 thrilling, dazzling minutes at the boundary of space, Katy Perry returned in grand style to Earth and encapsulated the experience with a beautifully earthy post:
"There is no place like home."
And really, she's not wrong. Space can provide once-in-a-lifetime vistas, a few seconds of floaty enjoyment, and bragging rights that trump any vacation photo dump, but it turns out nothing trumps gravity, your own bed, and a working coffee machine.
One minute, she's orbiting in style, daisies floating in mid-air and embodying the divine feminine, and the next, she's back on Earth, likely ordering lunch and reading the memes about herself. In the end, even a trip to space confirms what we’ve always known: the stars are beautiful, but home comes with snacks and stable furniture.
And voilà. Katy Perry's 11-minute ride to the edge of space gave us all of it: zero gravity, emotion ballads, drifting flowers, and a come-full-circle-back-to-the-"divine feminine". Not every day that a pop star stretches for the stars, finds cosmic epiphany, and comes back to Earth with a new spiritual meme.
One little step for Katy Perry, one big leap for girl energy fueled by glitter. Space can be limitless, but so is her potential to turn each moment into a Grammy concert- even at 3,500 mph.
