Katy Perry just became a pop star turned space star by boarding the first all-female crew in more than 60 years to blast off on Blue Origin's NS-31 mission. The "Firework" singer and a group of five other women experienced an 11-minute joyride to the edge of space, orbited around like cosmic queens, and made history, all before most of us even started our morning coffee.
In the viral video, we see Katy Perry and her all-woman space crew drifting weightlessly, living their best lives ever, taking selfies, and looking out at space through their spaceship window. It's essentially the perfect space selfie opportunity because, naturally, Katy Perry would pack her album slate with her to the end of the universe.
Who needs gravity when you're on an intergalactic tour and have a camera to capture it all? If this isn't the most on-brand pop star moment, we have no idea what is! As soon as the video came out, someone took to their X account and commented:
"Paying 50+ million for an 11 minutes trip is crazy"
One person on X had the astute observation, teasing that shelling out over 50 million for an 11-minute trip seemed a tad nuts. And to be frank, who can blame them? If we spent that amount of money, we'd at least expect a free snack pack, a personal universe map, and maybe a certificate saying, "You survived the 11-minute space journey!"
But at least they got to float around in zero gravity for the GDP of a small country. What a deal—going sky-high if you just so happen to have a few million burning a hole in your pocket!
Alright, the mission is complete, and now comes the real show: fans responding to Katy Perry and her all-female space crew taking a swift 11-minute journey to space. Of course, the internet is doing what it does best: turning the whole affair into a meme-fest.
Let's dive into the fan responses because if there's one thing the internet loves more than space travel, it's completely roasting it.
Netizens react as new footage of Katy Perry’s space trip goes viral
Some people leaped into the comments with their sense of humor, making the entire space flight a comedy show. From referring to it as the "fastest intergalactic vacation" to remarking on space snacks, the reactions were as celestial as the flight itself:
"Does Katy Perry seem different today? I don't think the Katy that went up, is the same one that came down," another user @0nnw33d hilariously commented.
"So they paid 50 million dollars for a 11 minute trip!?! Yeah I hate it here," a netizen @WigginsWick22 bluntly stated.
"Imagine paying $50m for a trip to space, just to stare at a camera," a user @dajonu sarcastically expressed.
Others couldn't resist leaving remarks just for the giggles, speculating Katy Perry was off in space plotting her next massive album release. Others quipped that she was likely scouting for a new music video location because why not film in zero gravity?
The comment section was soon filled with a combination of lighthearted fan theories and space puns:
"Eleven minutes for all that cash and pollution? Seems like a ridiculously expensive selfie opportunity," a user @amirkdev hilariously commented.
"She out here kissing the ground like she got stuck in space for 8 months," another person @suayrez hilariously wrote.
"Katy Perry's space trip was as short as her songs," a netizen @FortKnoxCrypto sarcastically commented.
The peanut gallery was going wild, with individuals making comments just to put some added humor into the situation.
Ranging from space selfie jokes about taking pictures to humorous musings on what album cover photoshoots would be like in zero gravity, the comment section immediately became a comedy show, with plenty of off-the-wall and lighthearted remarks:
"And then comes back and kisses the ground like she been gone for years," a user @MrSatrouGojo hilariously commented.
"Did Katy convert space aliens to her music while up there?" another netizen @SwaggyMcNasty sarcastically asked.
"Going to space to shout at a camera and a butterfly to it," a netizen @VeeWasTaken sarcastically wrote.
Who went to space with Katy Perry?
So, the space crew has returned to Earth, and let's be honest, they're essentially the Avengers, minus the superhero costumes and with extra rocket science and civil rights. Aisha Bowe, who was likely just hanging out as a rocket scientist at NASA, is now the CEO of a tech company because, why not add some extra rocket science to her side hustle?
Meanwhile, Amanda Nguyen is over here multitasking like it's no one's business, merging civil rights leadership and space intelligence, because who wants only one mission when you can save the world and venture into the cosmos? That's an overachiever's dream team if you ask me!
Their space journey was a mix of pop star pizzazz, journalist cool, and some Hollywood magic. Gayle King was prepared for a zero-gravity interview like it was her daily coffee, and Katy Perry packed enough pop star power to make even the rockets twinkle.
Kerianne Flynn was already devising the movie adaptation because, clearly, this required a sequel. And Lauren Sánchez? She could interview aliens and make it seem like just a casual Tuesday.
Seriously, if this team went out for brunch, they'd have cracked world peace and returned from space before the mimosas had even been delivered. That is some level of multitasking!
Katy Perry's 11-minute space trip had everyone thinking she was gone for a lifetime!
The hype surrounding Katy Perry and her all-women crew's trip to space was so intense, you'd think they were embarking on a year-long mission to Mars, not a quick 11-minute jaunt to the edge of the atmosphere.
As the clock started ticking, people were actually panicking, thinking that these courageous women would be up there for months, facing space rations, zero gravity, and the existential fear of being light years away from home.
The internet was already preparing them for long-term survival in space, with advice such as "Don't forget extra snacks" and "Pack a space blanket for those cold nights on the moon." In the meantime, the crew were simply loading their cameras for a quick thrill ride, and before you could even say "zero gravity," they were home again.
So much for months of space adventures; their entire mission was shorter than most people's lunch breaks. Talk about over-hyping a cosmic coffee run!
Did Katy Perry sing in space?
Yes, as the crew swung back into place after floating due to zero gravity, Gayle King told the media that Katy Perry, being a dramatic icon through and through, just happened to burst into an emotive ballad of What a Wonderful World in space! Why not romance the world, having just danced among it in outer space? Gayle King said,
"We'd been asking her to sing all the time and she wouldn't. Everybody said, 'Sing "Roar," sing "Firework,"' and she said, 'It's not about me. I wanted to talk about the world' "
Gayle told the reporters,
"When we got back in our seats after Zero-G, Katy sang 'What a Wonderful World.'"
Holding a daisy in her hand (a sweet tribute to her daughter, Daisy), Katy Perry made it plain that not even the enormity of space could keep her from a good time for a ballad. "I feel super connected to love," she explained upon returning to Earth, demonstrating that even in the emptiness of space, there's always space for a little pop star poetry.
Seriously, who knew space travel had such a powerful emotional soundtrack?
And that's a wrap on Katy Perry's space odyssey! From an 11-minute journey to crooning the world with What a Wonderful World, she's shown that no matter how far she travels, a pop star's gotta make it dramatic.
Seriously, who knew space was the perfect place for a ballad and a daisy? Whatever you think of the glitter or whatever you're only there for the laughter, Katy's speedy cosmic getaway sure gave us plenty to talk about.
