Passengers Trapped in Rocket With Katy Perry Wished She Would Sing Something Else
Briefly

Katy Perry and a crew of five women traveled to the edge of space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. The trip sparked emotional responses, with Perry singing "What a Wonderful World" during the journey. She later claimed that the experience was about collective energy and female empowerment, rather than promoting her own music. Perry's remarks provoked mixed reactions as she connected the trip to broader themes of appreciation for Earth and future female endeavors, although critics questioned the sincerity of such claims amidst the extravagant context of the journey.
"I've covered that song in the past and obviously my higher self is always steering the ship, because I had no idea that one day I'd be singing that song in space."
"It's not about singing my songs; it's about a collective energy and making space for future women. It's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it."
