Katy Perry Revealed Why She Brought a Flower on Her Space Flight

On April 14, six remarkable women made history as they soared into space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket — marking the first all-women spaceflight since 1963. Among them was global pop star Katy Perry, whose emotional journey captured hearts both on Earth and beyond. But it wasn’t just her voice or star power that made headlines — it was the single daisy she carried with her into the cosmos.

On April 14, six women blasted off into space on a Blue Origin rocket, marking the first all-women spaceflight since 1963. They brought their fans along for the ride, sharing behind-the-scenes moments on social media.

Katy Perry, known for hits like Teenage Dream, said she’s dreamed of going to space for 15 years. She even joked, “I gotta sing in space!” And she did - belting out What a Wonderful World while floating above Earth, much to Gayle King’s delight.

The flight lasted just 11 minutes but reached more than 100km (62 miles) above Earth - officially crossing into space and giving the crew a few magical moments of weightlessness.

After safely landing back in Texas, Katy kissed the ground and held up a daisy to the sky - a sweet nod to her daughter, Daisy. She said the trip made her feel “super connected to life” and “so connected to love.”

Alongside Katy, Gayle, and Bezos’s fiancée Lauren Sánchez were three more incredible women:

• Aisha Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist
• Amanda Nguyen, a civil rights activist
• Kerianne Flynn, a film producer

This was the first all-female mission since 1963, when Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to fly solo into space.

Katy Perry shared why she brought a single white daisy aboard the spacecraft. While the flower was a sweet nod to her daughter, Daisy Dove, Perry said it also symbolized life, hope, and staying grounded - even among the stars.

“And you brought a real-life daisy up,” said Katy. “It was important for you not only because it’s your daughter’s name, but why else was that important for you to bring up?”

But some people thought differently, being sceptical about such a trip.

Not so long time ago Katy attracted people’s attention with her look. But amidst discussions about her daring outfit choice, a flurry of speculation erupted among onlookers, fueling rumors that Katy might be expecting her second child with Orlando Bloom. Social media platforms were flooded with comments and conjectures. One person confidently asserted their belief that she might be pregnant, “She is definitely pregnant,” and another one pondered aloud whether this could be her way of subtly announcing it: “Is this a reveal announcement?”.

The speculation continued to ripple across social media, with some dropping hints about the possibility of a baby number 2 on the way. While others simply stated their observation that Katy appeared to be pregnant, or directly questioned, “Is she pregnant?”.

The speculative frenzy added an extra layer of excitement to the already lively discussions surrounding the celebrity couple, as fans eagerly awaited any confirmation or denial.

The whole thing highlights the mixed messages and double standards moms deal with. Some say moms should embrace their individuality, but then others criticize them for not fitting the mold of what’s considered “mom-like.”

Katy Perry’s spaceflight was just one of many proud moments in the spotlight that week. While she sang among the stars, other celebrities had their own reasons to celebrate - like Eminem, who became a grandfather.
