Singer Katy Perry is back to her normal routine, preparing lunch for her daughter Daisy to take to school after her space flight earlier this week.
On her Instagram Story on Wednesday, Katy Perry posted a photo of herself making lunch for her daughter, with foods like carrots, raspberries, and star-shaped sandwiches. The 40-year-old star captioned it: "Back to the good old days, preparing lunch for school."
Katy previously shared photos and videos of her historic flight with an all-female crew to the edge of space on Monday. She became the first female singer to fly into space and sing on a spacecraft. Katy joined journalist Gayle King, former MC Lauren Sanchez, former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe, Vietnamese-American scientist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn on the New Shepard spacecraft of the private aerospace company Blue Origin, founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos.
During this journey, Katy Perry honored her 4-year-old daughter Daisy by bringing along a white daisy - a flower that symbolizes resilient life on Earth and is named after her daughter. At that time, little Daisy and actor Orlando Bloom - Katy's fiancé - went to the rocket launch site to cheer on the singer. The little girl wore a specially designed spacesuit, excitedly watching her mother's journey. This is also the first time Daisy has appeared in a live broadcast event after many years of Katy and Orlando keeping their child's image a secret.
Katy Perry's trip with her all-female crew has attracted public attention, but they have also been criticized for being ostentatious and pointless. Some have sarcastically called it a "fun trip for the super-rich". Actress Olivia Munn said that "there are more important things in the world to care about" and "why spend so much money to go into space when some people can't even afford an egg". Model Emily Ratajkowski commented that traveling to space on a private spacecraft is "destroying the planet".
Actress Jessica Alba is one of the few celebrities to speak out in support of the all-female flight. Katy Perry has so far remained silent on the controversy and mocking posts. On Instagram, she expressed gratitude for an "amazing journey" with her "sisters." The singer is now focused on preparing for her upcoming tour and spending time with her family.
