After traveling to space on Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket, Perry and five other women made a safe return to Earth.
Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS host Gayle King accompanied the singer, stating that hearing Perry perform Louis Armstrong's “What a Wonderful World” during the space journey was one of the flight's highlights.
Following her return, Perry stated that she felt “super connected to life” and “so connected to love”.
The six women experienced a brief period of weightlessness during the approximately 11-minute voyage, which lifted them more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth, moving beyond the globally acknowledged space border.
