Katy Perry recently took a quick jaunt into the lower atmosphere as a passenger on Jeff Bezos' latest tax write-off. Luke Bryan was enthralled by her trip to space.

He told Jimmy Kimmel during his appearance on his talk show that he got drawn into watching it. As he was tending his farm, he just happened to notice Katy Perry harping on about her expensive Uber trip. "I saw where she was posting on her Instagram that it was happening at 8:30 Central and totally got roped into the moment."
The whole trip to space only took about 10 minutes, so it didn't take too much time for Luke Bryan. He said once he started watching, he couldn't stop. There was a certain morbid curiosity involved, too. "They're in the Rivian, they're heading to the capsule. I'm sitting there walking, and it roped me in," Luke Bryan told Jimmy Kimmel. "Because when you have a friend — I mean, let's face it — it could blow up. So I wanted it not to do that."
The fact that it even crossed his mind is very telling.
Would Luke Bryan Go Up In Blue Origin?
I have already made my personal thoughts on the wasteful millionaire's pleasure cruise Jeff Bezos recently marketed using Katy Perry. But Jimmy Kimmel wanted to know what Luke Bryan thought about their space trip. If he were given the chance, would he take the trip to the edge of the earth?
"I probably would do it just because — I mean, you gotta take that chance," Luke Bryan told Jimmy Kimmel. I wonder if he would still think the same, seeing all the backlash Katy Perry and her crewmates got for their lavish waste of resources.
But, for Luke Bryan, following Katy Perry's footsteps into the edge of space would have to be more than a rash decision. As he said, watching Blue Origin made him wonder at its safety. There's always a risk of explosion, as the many SpaceX failures have shown. If he wanted to go to space, Luke Bryan said there would have to be some serious negotiations with his family first.
