NextImg:Katy Perry Roasted For Her Over-The-Top Reaction To Being In Space For 11 Minutes
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Thankfully Katy Perry didn’t become a literal firework — but she has sparked an explosion of mockery online.

On Monday, the pop star was part of an all-female crew, which also included Gayle King and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, that briefly launched to space from West Texas on one of Bezo’s Blue Origin rockets, named New Shepard.

The other women included in NS-31’s all-female crew were former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyễn and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

The flight, which reached above the Kármán line — or the internationally recognized boundary of space, which is about 62 miles above Earth’s surface — lasted 10 minutes and 21 seconds, per NPR.

After a safe landing, Perry emerged from the rocket’s capsule like she was Matt Damon in “The Martian” rather than some random celebrity who got to ride on one of Mr. Amazon’s big boy toys for a few minutes.

As soon as the “Roar” singer stepped out onto the steps of the capsule, she held a small daisy proudly above her head in a tribute to her 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.

After basking in the moment for a few beats, she jumped from the capsule’s steps, knelt down and kissed the ground, making a “muah” sound.

A few moments later, King emerged from the capsule and pulled the same stunt by dramatically kissing the ground as well.

Considering that the women were only in space for about 11 minutes, people felt the “Dark Horse” singer’s reaction to being back on Earth was a bit over-the-top.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

The idea that the launch was a glorified commercial for Bezo’s space tourism company isn’t that much of a stretch being that the launch was heavily marketed as one giant leap for ladykind. It was the first all-female spaceflight since 1963, when Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova launched into space by herself, making her the first woman in space, according to The Associated Press.

If the dated “girl power” vibe of the launch wasn’t obnoxious enough, King also confirmed to reporters that Perry sang while they were in zero-gravity.

“Katy sang, ‘What a Wonderful World,’” King said. “Isn’t that nice? …We’d been asking her to sing all the time, and she wouldn’t. And she wouldn’t! Everybody said, ‘Sing ‘Roar,’ sing ‘Firework!’ And she said, ‘It’s not about me, I wanted to talk about the world.’”
