Lily Allen<\/a> has firmly backtracked on her comments towards Katy Perry<\/a> after the Roar hitmaker made a historic trip to space.<\/p>\n

Last week, pop star Lily, 39, was one of several celebrities criticising Katy<\/a>, who was aboard a six-woman crew blasted into space as part of a Blue Origin<\/a> flight.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old sang Louis Armstrong\u2019s What A Wonderful World as she reached zero gravity<\/a> along with CBS Mornings presenter Gayle King, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and Jeff Bezos<\/a>\u2019s partner Lauren Sanchez.<\/p>\n

After landing back on Earth<\/a> 10 minutes and 21 seconds later, however, Katy and co. were met with immense backlash<\/a>, with Smile songstress Lily branding the whole thing ‘so out of touch’.<\/p>\n

Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast, which she co-hosts with pal Miquita Oliver, Lily introduced the topic with: ‘Katy Perry and her mates going up to space for 12 minutes\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n

Miquita responded: \u2018If they\u2019re going to go up to space for 12 minutes, we can talk about it for 10 seconds and that\u2019s about all it deserves.\u2019<\/p>\n
