If you weren’t watching the Blue Origin Space Flight this morning, then you probably missed Katy Perry, Gayle King and others fly up into space and head back down right after. The trip may have been fast, but it made history as the first all-female space crew.

Following her landing, the “Roar” singer opened up about the journey and the telling moment she shared with her fellow space crew members up in the air. In an interview with Variety, Perry revealed she sang “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong when they were all airborne.

“I’ve covered that song in the past,” she told the outlet. “Obviously, my higher self is steering the ship. I had no clue I’d one day decide to sing a little bit of that in space.”

Most of all, Perry wanted to make it clear that the moment was not about her and instead of appreciating the earth and mother nature. “It’s not about me. It’s not about singing my song,” she said. “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. This is all for the benefit of Earth.”

When she left the spaceship, Perry first held a daisy up in honor of her daughter, 4-year-old Daisy, whom she shares with partner Orlando Bloom, and kissed the ground next to her (see the video of the moment here!).

“We’ve been asking her to sing all the time and she wouldn’t,” fellow crew member and CBS Mornings host Gayle King said. “Everybody said, ‘Sing “Roar,” Sing “Fireworks,”‘ and she said, ‘It’s not about me, I want to talk about the world.'”

On the internet, users aren’t exactly thrilled with Perry’s sentiment. “Rather have heard how it felt and was your perspective [difference] after going through it,” one user wrote on X. “This sounds like a boring planned PR statement. Not real. Experience must not have been that impactful then.”

“Really? Kissing the ground?” another questioned on Instagram. “The flight was 10 minutes.” “Weirdos,” another echoed. “This whole thing is weiiiiiiird and unnecessary.”

In addition to Perry and King, the crew was composed of Jeff Bezos’ fiancée and journalist Lauren Sánchez, engineer and NASA veteran Aisha Bowe, activist and scientist Amanda Nguyen and movie producer Kerianne Flynn.

While the world might still not understand why the flight took place, it’s safe to say Perry had a good time doing it. And the rest got a free concert. A win-win, right?
