Katy Perry is officially blasting off—literally.
The pop superstar and “Firework” hitmaker is set to join the ranks of spacefaring celebrities as she boards Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft for a suborbital journey on April 14, 2025.
This marks Perry’s first trip into space and positions her among a growing list of public figures who have participated in private spaceflights, including William Shatner and Michael Strahan. The mission, part of Blue Origin’s push to normalize space tourism, will depart from the company’s launch site in West Texas.
Beyond the Stage, Into the Stars
Known for her theatrical performances and cosmic themes in her music, Katy Perry’s leap into actual space feels almost poetic. Though details of her role onboard remain private, the mission is expected to follow the typical New Shepard format: a fully automated flight reaching the Kármán line—the boundary of space—before returning safely to Earth.
Perry has yet to make a personal statement, but sources close to the star say she’s “beyond excited” and views the experience as both a personal journey and a public moment of inspiration.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a star going to space—it’s a cultural milestone. Perry’s involvement brings mainstream attention to the evolving frontier of private space exploration. As artists, entertainers, and innovators take their talents beyond Earth’s atmosphere, the lines between science, celebrity, and human potential continue to blur.
