The singer travelled on Jeff Bezos’ space tourism rocket called the New Shepard, which was built by his space company Blue Origin on Monday, April 14, with a star-studded crew of 6 women.
The flight took just under 11 minutes and they were in space for approximately 4 minutes before returning to Earth.

Other passengers included, Lauren Sánchez, Bezos' journalist fiancée, Aisha Bowe, former NASA rocket scientist, Amanda Nguyễn, civil rights activist and TIME's Woman of the Year, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
