Singer Katy Perry sang ‘What a Wonderful World’ in space
American singer Katy Perry delivered on her promise to sing in space.
The “Fireworks” singer blasted off on Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-31 craft alongside Jeff Bezos’s fiancée Lauren Sanchez and TV host Gayle King on Monday.
In a video shared via Instagram late Sunday, Perry showed fans inside the rocket that “we have been training in for the last few days.”
She told followers: “I think I’m gonna sing, sing a little bit. I gotta sing in space!”
After the rocket had landed safely, King told her CBS Mornings colleagues that Perry had sung “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong.
Perry then told reporters of her song choice: “I’ve covered that song in the past and obviously my higher self is always steering the ship because I had no idea that one day I’d be singing that song in space.”
Perry, Sanchez and King were also joined on the flight by former Nasa rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
The rocket lifted off as part of Blue Origin Flight NS-31 on at 8:30 a.m. local time. The craft flew through space for around four minutes before floating back down to Earth, with the entire journey taking a little over 10 minutes. Independent
