Either is possible, and neither is "better" English. Skies is somewhat older, and possibly more poetic.

"Skies is somewhat older". This is not true, as far as I can tell. I just looked it up in the OED and it says "take it to the sky" is older. (If you have any evidence that the plural was used in the idiomatic sense earlier than that, please share.)

You can choose either of them. Base on this website, they are all similar: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/take%20to%20the%20sky/skies
