Singer Lily Allen has issued a public apology to Katy Perry after facing backlash for criticising Perry’s participation in a Blue Origin space flight. In a candid reflection, Allen admitted that her comments were unfair and rooted in “internalised misogyny.” She stated, “There was no need to bring her name into it,” and acknowledged she would have been hurt if someone had done the same to her.
The apology came just days after Allen called the space mission “out of touch.” She criticised Perry, Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez for taking part in what she saw as a display of wealth amid global economic struggles. Her remarks gained major attention, especially as other celebrities like Olivia Munn and Amy Schumer also voiced similar concerns.
Now, Allen has adopted a softer, more introspective tone. She said she still questions the broader impact of space tourism but recognised that personally targeting Perry was unnecessary. Her honest apology has sparked a positive conversation online. Many praised her for taking responsibility, a rare move in public life.

Allen’s willingness to admit fault highlights a rare moment of accountability. Her apology opens up an important conversation about empathy, responsibility, and how celebrities can better handle disagreements when under public scrutiny.
