Following in the footsteps of spectacular shows from Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and Madonna, pop superstar Katy Perry stepped in as headliner of the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, February 1st.
The 30-year-old entered the stadium on a giant mechanical lion to "Roar", before transitioning into "Dark Horse", rocking out with Lenny Kravitz to "I Kissed A Girl" and turning the set into a beach environment for "Teenage Dream" and "California Girls". Next, Missy Elliott, in a not so surprise appearance, performed three of her hits ("Get Ur Freak On", "Work It" and "Lose Control") and Perry closed the show with "Firework" as the sky filled up with fireworks.
The production and set was eye catching to say the least, but the execution from Perry, who lipped the entire show and can't dance to save her life, missed the marked and made the entire spectacle underwhelming, especially in comparison to the last three halftime shows. It was all bark (gimmicks) and no bite (substance), and the most memorable segment came from Elliott, who towered over Perry in terms of stage presence. Watch the halftime performance beneath:
