Katy Perry’s daughter is watching her mom make history.
On Monday, April 14, the “Hot ‘N’ Cold” singer’s daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, 4, was front and center as she watched her mom return to Earth after spending several minutes in space with Blue Origin’s first all-female crew. The 4-year-old, dressed in her own astronaut costume, looked up to the sky with a bright smile on her face, as she watched the capsule descend to the ground.
As a sweet nod to her daughter, Perry also brought a small daisy into space with her, holding it up to the sky as she exited the capsule upon returning to Earth.
“This experience is second to being a mom,” she told reporters after landing. “That’s why it was hard for me to go because that’s all my love right there, and I have to surrender and trust that the universe is going to take care of me and protect me and also my family and daughter. I am full up from being able to get that gift of being a mom, and to go to space is incredible, and I wanted to model courage, worthiness and fearlessness.”
Perry shares her daughter with fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48.

The singer, Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut and bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn took a near four-minute round-trip mission to the edge of space.
In an interview with Elle ahead of the mission, the women revealed that they plan on heading into the brave new world with a face of glam.
“Space is going to finally be glam,” Perry said. “Let me tell you something. If I could take glam up with me, I would do that. We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.”
Back in January, the pop star opened up about her daughter Daisy’s personality, telling PEOPLE that she’s just like her “extrovert parents” — and she’s bringing that energy on the road as Perry tours.
“She’s definitely going to come out and bring her light,” Perry said of Daisy. “She is so excited. She’s an extrovert, of course, being raised by two extroverts, and she loves music and she loves Mom’s songs.”

The “Dark Horse” singer also said that her daughter is already exercising her musical abilities. “She took her music class today, and I just got a photo of her minutes ago with a ukulele in her hand,” Perry said.
While Daisy will be joining Perry on the road, the toddler still hasn’t exactly processed that her mom is a superstar. For now, Perry and Bloom are primarily focused on being good parents.
“She’s still trying to figure out what the days of the week means. I think she just loves when Mommy’s happy, and I think she really feels our love for her, and she feels safe and encouraged to do and be whatever she wants,” the “Firework” singer said. “And we’re trying to do our best as parents, most definitely.”
