Mariah Carey Reacts to Katy Perry’s Space Flight With Signature Glamour and Grace

The pop icon offers a cool, classic response after discovering Perry’s Blue Origin journey months later: “I think I’ve done enough.”

Mariah Carey may be known for hitting the highest notes in pop music, but when it comes to space travel, the five-time Grammy winner is keeping her feet firmly on the ground—with charm, poise, and a sprinkle of Mariah-style humor.

In a recent interview on BBC Radio’s “Scott Mills Breakfast Show,” Carey was asked if she’d ever consider joining fellow pop superstar Katy Perry in traveling to space. Her reply? A delightfully candid display of surprise and signature Carey coolness.

“Did she go to space? Where’d she go?” Carey asked, visibly intrigued and just a touch skeptical.

When the host confirmed that Perry had indeed participated in a suborbital flight, Carey dug deeper with more questions:
“She’s like, floating? And this is true?”

As it turns out, Katy Perry took part in Blue Origin’s all-female space tourism mission in April. The crew also featured notable women including Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen (bioastronautics research scientist), Aisha Bowe (former NASA rocket scientist and STEMBoard CEO), and Kerianne Flynn, a film producer.

After processing the news, Carey offered her congratulations with grace:
“Wow. Alright Katy. I’m not mad at her. That’s pretty amazing.”

But when pressed on whether she herself might consider a similar cosmic adventure, Carey delivered a perfect Mariah-ism with a soft smile and unwavering composure:
“I think I’ve done enough.”

The diva’s remark instantly reminded fans why she’s in a league of her own—confident, grounded, and unfazed by even the most astronomical of peer achievements. While others may chase the stars, Mariah Carey has long since become one herself.
