Katy Perry is going to space. The award-winning "E.T." and "Firework" singer will fly on a firework of her own when she joins the first all-female crew to launch on a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket later this year.

American pop star Katy Perry is set to “shoot across the sky” this spring when she lifts off as part of a six-member, all-female crew on Blue Origin’s next space flight, the company announced Thursday.

Katy Perry is officially heading into space on Jeff Bezos’ rocket voyage, it’s been announced. The Firework singer, 40, has been confirmed as one of the six women taking part in the rocket trip, and making history as the first pop star in space.
