Wondering which song Katy Perry sang while drifting in zero gravity? During a groundbreaking Blue Origin mission, the pop star teamed up with an all-female crew to share a potent message from space through music. With cameras capturing every moment and fellow astronauts looking on, Perry selected an unexpected track that underscored unity and awe.

Here’s what she sang—and who joined her on the historic flight.

What song did Katy Perry sing when she was in space?

Katy Perry performed “What a Wonderful World” while she was momentarily in space, riding the Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket on the 14th of April, 2025.

According to US Weekly, Gayle King shared that the most delightful moment during their flight with Perry occurred when they returned to their seats following weightlessness, as Katy then serenaded them with “What a Wonderful World.

In a post-flight interview, Perry expressed her reasoning: “I believe it’s not just about me. It’s not merely performing my songs; it’s about harnessing a shared energy in that space, it’s about unity, it’s about paving the way for future generations of women, asserting our presence, and finding our place.” She further explained, “It’s about cherishing the beautiful world we see outside and valuing it. This is all for the betterment of Earth.” (Space.com)
