Luke Bryan's Thoughts on Katy Perry’s Blue Origin Space Flight: “I Wanted It to Not Do That”

Country superstar Luke Bryan had a hilariously honest moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live when he revealed his true feelings about watching Katy Perry's Blue Origin space flight.

Bryan, known for his laid-back charm and witty remarks, was recounting his experience tuning into the livestream of the recent all-female Blue Origin flight—which included Katy Perry’s close friend, Ed Dwight, as a crewmember (Katy herself wasn’t aboard, despite some social media confusion). But that didn’t stop Bryan from feeling the pressure of high-stakes space travel.

“I was watching it and thinking, ‘Please don’t blow up,’” Bryan admitted to Kimmel. “I just wanted it to not do that.”

The crowd laughed, but Bryan’s mix of humor and sincerity struck a chord. “It kind of roped me in,” he said, recalling how the anticipation of the launch glued him to the screen.

The Blue Origin flight marked a historic moment as the crew included the first Native American woman in space and was part of an initiative to promote women in STEM and space exploration. The successful mission was a relief—and a cause for celebration.

Katy Perry, who shares a playful friendship with Bryan from their time judging American Idol together, has yet to publicly respond to his comments, but fans are already loving the banter.

Whether it's judging on Idol or reacting to rocket launches, Luke Bryan proves once again: he’s gonna keep it real.
