Katy Perry honored her daughter, Daisy, while embarking on a trip to space on the Blue Origin flight.
The “E.T.” singer brought a daisy inside the rocket and later held it up to the sky once the all-women NS-31 crew safely landed in Texas on Monday.
Daisy, 4, was spotted watching her mom in the crowd as the singer made history alongside Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez.
At one point, the toddler enthusiastically shouted, “Mama!”
The blond-haired darling looked up at the sky in awe during her rare public appearance.
Her father, Perry’s longtime fiancé, Orlando Bloom, was also on hand.
When asked during an interview why she brought the tiny flower aboard the spacecraft, Perry replied, “Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through every condition.”
She added that daises are “resilient” flowers.
The singer, 40, wore a glamorous blue spacesuit as she blasted into space with Sánchez, 55, King, 70, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Prior to takeoff, Sánchez’s fiancé, Jeff Bezos, shared some words of encouragement for the crew.
“I’m so excited for you. I don’t want to get off. I want to go with you,” he told the group of women. “When you get back, I can’t wait to hear how it’s changed you. I love all of you. See you soon. Godspeed.”
King’s BFF Oprah Winfrey was there to support their journey — which lasted only 10 minutes — as well as Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner.
Perry previously shared that she was feeling confident and did not have any nerves ahead of her space sojourn, as she had been dreaming of the moment for almost 20 years.
“I don’t have any time to be nervous; I ain’t got time to be worried,” she told Elle.
“I’m going to feel something when they go, ‘10, 9, 8, 7 …,’ but until then we’ve got stuff to do. We’ve got business to handle.”
