‘A human piñata’: Katy Perry reflects on online abuse following Blue Origin flight and latest tour


Pop singer’s tour has been mocked online and she was criticised for taking commercial spaceflight, but she tells fans ‘please know I am OK’

Following criticism of her latest tour, new music and her trip to the edge of space on Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin craft, Katy Perry has written an emotional message explaining how the public opprobrium has affected her. Describing herself as a “human piñata” and the internet as “a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed” people, Perry told her supportive fans: “I can continue to remain true to myself, heart open and honest especially because of our bond. Perry was also castigated – arguably more than anyone else – for taking part in Blue Origin’s flight on 14 April, along with an all-female crew including TV presenter Gayle King and Bezos’s fiancee Lauren Sanchez.
