Katy Perry joined an all-female crew on a historic Blue Origin space flight, but her screams during the mission raised concerns among fans. Despite initial panic, the crew’s safe return was met with reflection on love and connection. Perry’s journey marks a key moment for women in space exploration.
On April 14, 2025, Katy Perry made history as she became part of the first all-female crew to journey into space, aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. The flight marked a monumental achievement, echoing the legacy of Russia's Valentina Tereshkova, who made history in 1963. Along with Perry, the mission featured an array of remarkable women, including Amazon’s Lauren Sánchez, media icon Gayle King, activist Amanda Nguyne, filmmaker Kieranne Flynn, and rocket scientist Aisha Bowe.
As the spacecraft ascended, Perry's screams during the live broadcast quickly caught the attention of viewers. Some fans, recalling past space tragedies like the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, voiced immediate concern. The high-pitched shrieks from Perry, who has always been known for her larger-than-life persona, sparked anxiety among social media users. One fan tweeted, "I thought we lost Katy Perry for a sec, I'm screaming,” expressing the widespread panic.
Despite the unsettling noise, the mission was a success, and the rocket landed safely back on Earth. Upon her return, Perry, visibly moved by the experience, shared a heartfelt reflection on love and connection, saying, "I feel super connected to love. You don’t realize how much love you have inside until you take a step like this."
Perry was joined by fiancé Orlando Bloom and their daughter, Daisy Dove, as she reunited with her family. Despite the drama, the mission was celebrated as a groundbreaking moment for both women in space and pop culture.
