Perry, 39, was joined joined Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and activist Amanda Nguyen on the Jeff Bezos-funded flight.
And she is now reportedly having second thoughts — not about the mission itself, but how it all played out.
An insider claimed to the Daily Mail: “Katy doesn’t regret going to space. It was life changing.

They added she “never expected this backlash” and is “disheartened” by the “uncalled for and upsetting” reaction.
“And despite the accusations she is still an environmentalist,” they said.
The insider was not named, and the "Firework" star has not publicly addressed the backlash.

Footage of the Roar singer kissing the ground, holding a daisy to the sky and delivering an emotional speech about “love and belonging” quickly went viral.
Emily Ratajkowski blasts Katy Perry & Blue Origin astronauts for 'destroying planet' in video rant after space flightAccording to the source, Perry also now regrets her “close-up camera moments” inside the New Shepard capsule, where she floated the daisy, sang What a Wonderful World, and promoted her upcoming Lifetimes tour.
The daisy was a tribute to her four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, who appeared publicly for the first time at the launch.
But the insider claimed the "Roar" singer “regrets sharing the daisy with the world” and “wishes the video footage from inside the pod was never shown.”
Katy Perry has since been facing online backlash and a wave of conspiracy theories, with some users suggesting the mission was staged.
One viral claim accused Blue Origin of using mannequins instead of real passengers, after a photo showing what appeared to be a plastic hand inside a grounded capsule spread on X.
“That sure looks like a mannequin, shiny hand,” one user wrote.
Another asked: “Why is there a dummy hand on the Blue Origin?”
But the image was quickly debunked.
The photo is real—but from a 2017 Blue Origin test flight, not this week’s NS-31 mission.
The “plastic hand” belonged to Mannequin Skywalker, a crash-test dummy used during early safety tests.
Still, that hasn’t stopped speculation from continuing to swirl online.
Other theorists have pointed to the capsule hatch, claiming video shows the door open from the inside—only for Jeff Bezos to appear moments later, “opening” it from the outside.

Some also questioned why the capsule appeared so clean after re-entry, claiming it lacked visible burn marks and signs of re-entry stress common to spaceflight.
It’s the latest in a string of wild theories and scrutiny surrounding the high-profile launch.
Criticism has also come from fellow celebrities, with model Emily Ratajkowski claiming Bezos’ company is “single handedly destroying the planet.”
NFL Network’s Jane Slater called the launch “embarrassing.”
Meanwhile, fast food chain Wendy’s mocked Perry on X, writing: “Can we send her back?” under a photo of the singer in her spacesuit.
Even Perry’s long-time pop rival Kesha joined the pile-on, posting a photo of herself sipping a Wendy’s milkshake with a grin — a move the source claims Perry saw as “adding fuel to the fire.”
While Blue Origin says its rocket releases only water vapor, experts have noted that it can still contribute to ozone depletion - raising eyebrows given Perry's past advocacy around climate change as a UNICEF ambassador.
Gayle King attempted to push back on criticism during CBS mornings, saying: “They call it a ride, which I find very irritating… There’s nothing frivolous about what we did.”
Read More on The SunSo far, Perry has stayed quiet on the controversy.
Her only post-flight message has been a plug for her upcoming tour shared to Instagram.
Is Katy Perry technically an astronaut and who could be next in space?
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NASA have specific requirements and designations for astronauts, which the pop star did not fulfil.
While she flew on the Blue Origin New Shepard rocket and experienced space, she didn't pilot the flight or fulfil other requirements.
Perry is considered a "space traveller" or "space tourist" rather than an astronaut.
Who could become the next celeb in space?
For the rich and famous, a trip into orbit is not only affordable but is now becoming more and more likely ever since Katy Perry's visit.
The superstar singer was gifted a seat by Bezos as he continues to test out the Blue Origin capsules and promote his space company to the world.
This means getting to space is easier than ever for those who wish to fly away for a fleeting through minutes.
Several musicians, actors and top media personalities have already put their names in the hat for a potential space mission on day - including Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and even Ivanka Trump.
