Katy Perry roared louder than a lion at last night’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. Even if you’re not a fan of her music you’ll be impressed by the sheer spectacle she created. Her show really did have it all – spectacular entrance, some amazing costumes changes, a Missy Elliot medley, a duet with Lenny Kravitz and some pretty impressive pyrotechnic’s for the finale. Over the 12 minutes, Perry managed to squeeze in 4 costume changes and nine songs (including three by Missy Elliott).

All of her outfits were designed by Jeremy Scott and they were certainly eye catching. She kicked off the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show perched on top of a huge, moving gold tiger which made it’s way across the field as Perry performed ‘Roar’.
The stage then transformed into a breathing chessboard for ‘Dark Horse’ with acrobats flipping beside Perry as she sang another Nº1 hit from her latest album Prism.
Perry then welcomed her 1st guest, Lenny Kravitz, and they sang “I kissed a Girl” together. Another dramatic stage and outfit change followed for her performance of Teenage Dream and a beach come to life on the stage, complete with bopping palm trees, smiling beach balls and dancing sharks. California Gurls came next before Perry welcomed her 2nd guest Missy Elliot. The veteran rapper sang Get Ur Freak On” and “Work It”. Perry disappeared briefly for a final costume change while Missy performed ‘Lose Control’.
Perry returned in a star-encrusted gown for the truly impressive finale. She rose from the middle of the field on a tiny platform with fireworks exploding around her as she sang Firework.
It was a fitting ending to such an explosive and over-the-top performance. The Guardian called it a “high octane show as notable for its surreal camp as for its tunes”.
The New York Times said she “held her own, navigating a handful of her smashes and three wardrobe changes in a performance that resisted bad mood”.
Perry wanted to remember the accession and had XLIX tattooed on one of the fingers of her right hand. “I thought it would be appropriate to draw blood tonight,” Perry Tweeted.
