ANAHEIM, CA — Singer and TV personality Katy Perry inspired dozens Thursday after declaring she was an astronaut following a brief ride on Disneyland's Astro Orbiter.

"Wheeeeee! I'm an astronaut!" she said while riding the thrilling Tomorrowland attraction. "Taking up spaaaace! I really feel in touch with the divine feminine now."

Perry described the ride as deeply supernatural, saying that it spun her around and around to the point that she felt "all the G's." She is now a bona fide astronaut, she says, because she got to pilot the spacecraft herself. "I can make it go up and down! Wheeeeee!"

Park guests who witnessed the historical moment say they will forever remember Katy Perry's ability to sit there and ride the attraction. "She's a trailblazer," said one mother of three. "It makes me feel like I can be an astro orbiter too."

At publishing time, Katy Perry was seen riding the Matterhorn Bobsleds, where she proclaimed, "I'm a Sherpa! Wheeeeeeee!"
