Katy Perry was seen holding a very special memento as she emerged from the capsule after returning from space.

The ‘E.T.’ singer was among a crew of six women who embarked on an otherworldly trip to space, including scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights campaigner Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, TV presenter Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez.

The women were in space for around 11 minutes and experienced a few moments of weightlessness more than 100km (62 miles) above the Earth after the Blue Origins capsule crossed the internationally recognised boundary of space.

When the capsule returned to Earth with a parachute-assisted soft landing, Perry emerged and lifted an object to the sky.

Eagle-eyed fans have just featured out that the Grammy nominee was holding a daisy, a beautiful ode to her four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom.

The pop star also kissed the ground after landing.

Gayle King also revealed that Perry sang a rendition of 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong as the astronauts had an unprecedented view of the Moon and Earth.

In addition to bringing an actual daisy into space, Perry also brought with her a butterfly-shaped piece of paper bearing the set list for her upcoming Lifetimes Tour which begins in Mexico on 23 April.

Unfortunately, the songs are quite hard to read but Katy Cats will be pleased to know 'Teenage Dream', 'California Gurls', and 'Firework' appear to be on the list.
