What Song Did Katy Perry Sing In Space & Who Went With Her on Blue Origin?
Curious about what song Katy Perry sang while floating in zero gravity? The pop star joined an all-women crew for a landmark Blue Origin mission, sharing a powerful message from space through music. With cameras rolling and fellow astronauts watching, Perry chose a surprising track that emphasized unity and wonder.
Here's what she sang—and who joined her on the historic flight.
Katy Perry sang 'What a Wonderful World' during her brief time in space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket on April 14, 2025.
Gayle King, who joined Perry on the flight, confirmed, 'The best part was when we got back in our seats after zero-Gs, Katy sang 'What a Wonderful World.'' (via US Weekly)
Perry explained her choice in a post-flight interview: 'I think that it's not about me. It's not about singing my songs, it's about a collective energy in there, it's about us, it's about making space for future woman and taking up space and belonging.' She added, 'It's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.' (via Space.com)
Katy Perry traveled to space with five other women as part of Blue Origin's all-female 'Taking Up Space Crew.'
The crew included CBS Mornings host Gayle King, aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and Lauren Sánchez, who is also Jeff Bezos' fiancée.
The mission marked the first all-women spaceflight crew since Valentina Tereshkova's solo mission in 1963. The team spent approximately four minutes in space after launching from Blue Origin's West Texas site. Prior to launch, Perry shared a video showing her assigned seat, marked 'K. Perry,' and stated, 'I've dreamt of going to space for 15 years and tomorrow that dream becomes a reality.' She described the experience as 'second to being a mom,' citing it as a personal milestone.

Katy Perry Faces A Surprise Onstage — And Her Priceless Response Says It All
In 2011, Katy Perry was 'stunned' by an extraterrestrial — and now, 14 years later, she faced a different kind of invader. Perry, currently on her Lifetimes Tour, was performing her 2008 hit 'Hot N Cold' at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, when a rogue fan approached her onstage. In a fan-captured video posted on X Monday, Perry appears visibly startled and uneasy as the fan runs toward her. The singer — who once kissed a girl and liked it — appeared to not enjoy this particular encounter. As the fan jumps next to her, Perry recoils slightly, visibly spooked. His 15 seconds of fame are swiftly cut short as security rushes the stage and escorts him off. Perry then turns to the crowd to lighten the mood. 'Well, there's never going to be another show like it, so just enjoy it, Sydney,' she joked. To further defuse the moment, she playfully asked the crowd, 'What the hell is going on?' Back in April, during her tour's opening stop in Mexico City, Perry had another memorable onstage moment — though that one didn't require an intruder. There, she reflected on her April 14 trip to space on an all-female Blue Origin space tourism flight. 'Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?' she asked the crowd.
