Katy Perry regrets public spectacle from Blue Origin mission

Katy Perry participated in Blue Origin's historic all-female 11-minute space flight, which drew significant criticism over environmental concerns, perceived over-the-top behavior, and accusations of the mission being a publicity stunt. While Perry described the trip as 'life changing' and emphasized themes of love, belonging, and empowerment, she is reportedly regretful about making a public spectacle and sharing personal moments, such as honoring her daughter with a daisy and singing on board. The backlash—which included ridicule of her actions, skepticism from celebrities, and a surge of conspiracy theories claiming the mission was fake—was unexpected and has left Perry disheartened. Despite criticisms, sources say Perry remains committed to environmentalism and does not regret the journey itself, only the extent of its public exposure. Footage of her emotional moments, including kissing the ground upon return, went viral and contributed to the controversy. The mission continues to be debated as both a feminist milestone and a questionable marketing event.
