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

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.”
