Katy Perry’s space adventure aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket may have delivered more than weightlessnes. However, it could have ended the Flat Earth debate for good.
Katy Perry joins Blue Origin’s historic all-female flight mission to space
Pop icon Katy Perry joined a historic Blue Origin mission on April 14, soaring briefly into space aboard the New Shepard capsule for an 11-minute flight.
The all-female crew included Lauren Sánchez, CBS’s Gayle King, activist Amanda Nguyen, producer Kerianne Flynn, and aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe.
Perry, known for hits like Firework, used the flight as a chance to reveal her upcoming tour setlist.
A butterfly-shaped paper with the list was seen floating inside the capsule.
She even sang What a Wonderful World during the flight, giving fans a glimpse of both musical and celestial beauty at once.
The Katy Perry space footage clearly shows Earth’s curvature
While Perry’s presence sparked curiosity, it was the stunning space footage that truly made headlines among skeptics and science lovers alike.
As Perry held her setlist mid-flight, a camera inside the New Shepard capsule captured the moment.
Behind her, Earth’s unmistakable curvature was visible through the window.
The shot showed the round planet in breathtaking clarity, a visual that left little room for Flat Earth theories to survive.
Fans shared the clip online, calling it “proof” that the Flat Earth myth needs to be put to rest once and for all.
Experts have long dismissed Flat Earth theories as baseless
Despite overwhelming scientific consensus, Flat Earth conspiracy theories still have a dedicated following who deny our planet’s spherical shape.
Astrophysicist Professor Brian Cox has repeatedly dismissed these claims, calling them “nonsensical” and “the most ridiculous suggestion a thinking person could make.”
Cox emphasized: “We’ve taken pictures of Earth. There’s absolutely no basis for thinking it’s flat. The Greeks measured the radius thousands of years ago.”
Now, thanks to Katy Perry’s space trip, another visual data point enters the mix—one viewed by millions in real time across social platforms.
Social media reacts to Katy Perry’s role in debunking Flat Earth claims
The internet wasted no time responding. X (formerly Twitter) exploded with comments after the Perry video began circulating widely across feeds and timelines.
While others applauded Perry’s unexpected contribution to science education, many celebrated the fact that a pop star accidentally debunked an age-old conspiracy during a promotional stunt.
They praised her for bringing attention to science in an unintentional but powerful way. Additionally, some speculated that she might be the first person to bring a daisy into space.
This was based on a flower seen floating beside her in the footage.
One person said: Maybe we should just smile, pat them on the shoulder and let them keep believing…
A second wrote: If the fact that Katy Perry went to space is the only reason people stop believing the flat earth theory…
While a third commented: If the Earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now. lol
Another added: If you believe that Katy Perry is actually in space you are apart of the problem…
Someone else said: Join the Flat Earth Society. Branches all around the world
While some initially questioned why Perry was included in the space crew, her impact turned out to be more symbolic than scientific.
By simply being present and filmed, Perry helped reintroduce a long-proven truth to an internet audience that thrives on visual proof.
