Writing two weeks after the much-derided Blue Origin voyage, which saw her take an 11-minute flight with five other women, the US star said the "online world" had tried to make her a "human Piñata".

Katy is regretting her behavior on the Blue Origin flight
While I agree with a lot of the criticism (millionaires taking trips to space at a time of incredible wealth inequality and climate concerns is not a good look), I'm not sure why all the ire is going to Katy Perry. She wasn't the only one on the rocket and it's not the first launch Blue Origin has done. More on reddit.com

r/BlueOrigin on Reddit: Why does everybody hating on katy perry space flight?
April 26, 2025 -
Hi just wondering why does everybody hating on her space flight and kissing the ground? Yes it was an 11 minute space flight but don't she have every reason to be thankful and celebratory after landing home safe? Because launching in space could sonetimes be deadly eh? Dont we remember the The STS-51-L Mission that ended 7 lives?

Partly because they were so pretentious. They claimed some inspiration victory for women, which came across badly given it was basically a joy-ride, and women who have actually achieved real things are being dumped as part of anti-DEI policies. I think partly because the publicity for this flight reached a new audience, who were reacting to it as if it were the first flight. (Previous paragraph applies for people who think there's nothing wrong with joy-rides, as long as you don't pretend its anything more. This paragraph is people who object to the joy-rides themselves, and billionaires in general.)

Comparing a short joy flight to the loss of shuttle is in poor taste dude.

You weren't all wrong. The fuel used by the rocket had to be synthesized first, and that process does generate CO2 emissions. ... Thanks.

Katy Perry’s Blue Origin space flight is the successor to 2025’s “Imagine” video.
April 16, 2025 - That’s right, I’m referring to the “historic” all-female Blue Origin space flight, which took a crew of six women—including three very famous ladies—to suborbital space and back in less than 11 minutes on Monday. The rocket trip has been the subject of criticism and ridicule this past week, particularly aimed at philanthropist Lauren Sánchez (better known as Jeff Bezos’ fiancée), journalist Gayle King (better known as Oprah’s best friend—sorry, Gayle, it’s true), and singer Katy Perry (better known as a current-day flop) for exhibiting astronomical levels of out-of-touchness in times that are best described as “troubled.” Even their fellow richies, including such celebrities as Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde, and Emily Ratajkowski, have piled on, calling the event “gluttonous” and “end times shit.”
