Katy Perry reveals how she’s getting back to reality after Blue…

April 17, 2025

This California gurl is happy to be back on earth.

After Katy Perry flew to space on Monday as part of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin crew — which included Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King — the pop star, 40, is now on mom duty.

On Wednesday, Perry posted a picture of her 4-year-old daughter Daisy’s lunch box that was packed with pretzels, carrots, pineapple chunks, fruit snacks, salami and cheese.

Her sandwich was cut into the shape of a star surrounded by raspberries.

“Back to the best reality, packing school lunch,” Perry wrote alongside a heart and daisy emoji.

The singer, who shares Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom, brought a daisy on the historic flight in honor of her little one.

After the all-women Blue Origin NS-31 crew landed in Texas on Monday, Perry held the flower up and smiled sweetly.

For the special day, Daisy donned a mini astronaut outfit and was in the crowd watching her famous mom.

The “California Gurls” artist told reporters, per People, “This experience is second to being a mom. That’s why it was hard for me to go because that’s all my love right there, and I have to surrender and trust that the universe is going to take care of me and protect me and also my family and daughter.”

Perry added, “I am full up from being able to get that gift of being a mom, and to go to space is incredible, and I wanted to model courage, worthiness and fearlessness.”

The Grammy nominee’s tourism mission to space also included astronaut and bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn.

Each woman had a space suit tailored to their careers, with Perry’s outfit having a firework next to her name, as a nod to her 2010 track “Firework.”

The mission has come under fire by many celebrities who felt the 11-minute trip was a waste.

Olivia Munn, for her part, called the mission “gluttonous” earlier this month.

“What are they doing?” the actress, 44, said on “Today With Jenna & Friends” on April 3. “I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now.”

“I know this is probably obnoxious,” Munn added, “but like, it’s so much money to go to space, and there’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs.”

Questioning the reason behind the luxury mission, the “Your Friends and Neighbors” star asked, “What’s the point?”

“Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think it’s a bit gluttonous,” Munn continued. “Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?”

Amy Schumer also took to Instagram on Monday to “announce” that she had received a last-minute invite to join the ladies on the New Shepard 31 spacecraft.

“Guys, last second they added me to space, and I’m going to space,” the comedian, 43, joked as she held up a Black Panther toy. “I’m bringing this thing. It has no meaning to me, but it was in my bag, and I was on the subway, and I got the text, and they were like, ‘Do you want to go to space?’ so I’m going to space.”

“Thank you to everyone who got me here,” teased Schumer. “I’ll see you guys in space.”

Rounding out the jabs, Olivia Wilde ripped into the Blue Origin endeavor on her Instagram Story.

“Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess,” she captioned a photo of Perry returning to Earth and kissing the ground.

King and Sánchez, meanwhile, were quick to clap back at critics.

“Anybody that’s criticizing it doesn’t really understand what is happening here,” King told People after landing. “We can all speak to the response we’re getting from young women from young girls about what this represents.”

“I get really fired up,” Sánchez chimed in. “I would love to have them come to Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don’t just work here but they put their heart and soul into this vehicle.”

“They love their work and they love the mission and it’s a big deal for them,” she explained. “So when we hear comments like that, I just say, trust me. Come with me. I’ll show you what this is about, and it’s, it’s really eye-opening.”
