“I
was
like, ‘What
am
I
going
to
wear?'”
Katy
Perry
told
Elle
ahead
of
her
Blue
Origin
flight
with
King,
Lauren
Sánchez,
Aisha
Bowe,
Amanda
Nguyen,
and
Kerianne
Flynn. “But
seriously,
I
have
wanted
to
go
to
space
for
almost
20
years.
I
was
investigating
all
of
the
possible
commercial
options.
Even
when
Blue
Origin
was
first
talking
about
commercial
travel
to
space,
I
was
like,
‘Sign
me
up!
I’m
first
in
line.’”
MTV
News
did
report
in
2010
that
Perry
had
purchased
a
$200,000
ticket
to
board
a
Virgin
Galactic
suborbital
flight,
when
the
company
finally
got
one
off
the
ground.
“I’m
so
into
extraterrestrial
stuff,”
the “E.T.”
singer
told
the
outlet
around
that
time.
“It’s
very
difficult
for
me
to
look
up
into
the
sky
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
not
think
that
our
planet
is
one
of…a
bajillion.
It’s
really,
really
small.
And
Russell
and
I
are
interested
in
anything
extraterrestrial.
I
mean,
we’re
going
to
space.”
(She
and
then-husband
Russell
Brand
split
up
in
2011.)
As
her
2025
Blue
Origin
trip
approached,
the
40-year-old
told
Elle,
“I
don’t
have
any
time
to
be
nervous;
I
ain’t
got
time
to
be
worried.
I’m
going
to
feel
something
when
they
go,
‘10,
9,
8,
7,…’
but
until
then
we’ve
got
stuff
to
do.
We’ve
got
business
to
handle.”
But
best
of
all,
Perry
quipped,
“Space
is
going
to
finally
be
glam.
Let
me
tell
you
something.
If
I
could
take
glam
up
with
me,
I
would
do
that.
We
are
going
to
put
the
‘ass’
in
astronaut.”
