On April 14, 2025, Katy Perry literally took her superstar sparkle to new heights. She joined the first all-female crew aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, spectacularly making history. Alongside her were some truly inspiring women: Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn.
Together, they brought a fantastic vibe of energy and empowerment to this incredible journey into space. The 11-minute suborbital flight was quite the adventure, but a little flower stole the spotlight when Katy stepped out in West Texas.
Holding up a daisy for her four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, she had everyone swooning.
Why Katy Perry chose Daisy as a tribute to her daughter?
The business mogul Jeff Bezos is aiming to venture into more sustainable and accessible space missions. The recent Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, launched on April 14, was a testament to that. Making it an all-female-crew mission, Blue Origin is headed to set the record in many ways.
The flight was an incredible adventure, and Perry truly made it memorable. She entertained her crew while floating in zero gravity by singing Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” When they finally landed, Katy Perry didn’t just leave the spacecraft; her gesture made the journey worthwhile.
She skipped, dropped to her knees, kissed the ground, and held a daisy, symbolizing a victory flag. It was a moment that felt nothing short of iconic. Chiming in about why she brought “Daisy” specifically, she revealed that it symbolized her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, and the greater message.
She further added:
Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition … they are powerful, they are strong, and they are everywhere. Flowers are to me God’s smile, but it’s also a reminder of our beautiful Earth … and the beautiful magic that is everywhere, all around us, even in a simple daisy.(Via. Page Six)
Just like the singer’s resilience, her tribute is unmatchable, too. While the mission is accomplished, fans can wait to hear a new song based on Perry’s experience bustling the charts soon.

The fans did not shy away from celebrating this momentous event with the Roar singer. They posted heart emojis, including the crying one, along with some heartfelt comments.
Katy Perry’s space exploration, though a short 11-minute event, sends a strong message to the world about the future of space and the determination of a mother, going all out for her kid.
