Katy Perry as long rumored, will headline the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show on Feb. 1, 2015, following in the recent footsteps of Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and Madonna.
The NFL announced the news Sunday night on NBC, confirming that all eyes will be on Perry during the big showdown at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Her setlist and guest performers will undoubtedly remain under wraps until closer to game day, but having attended a Perry concert in October, anticipate a wild medley filled with fireworks during empowering hit "Firework," elaborate outfits on her and her dancers (maybe cat onesies), stages that rise up, high-flying stunts, and possibly animals during "Roar."
Last February, Bruno Mars had the most-watched halftime show ever with 115.3 million viewers, beating out Beyonce´s 2013 effort. which attracted 110.5 million.
With her massive following — Perry is the most-followed twitter user in the world with more than 60 million followers — she'll likely attract significant viewership. Additionally, she has 76 million fans on Facebook. Don't think for a second that the NFL didn't consider this.
Pepsi, the halftime show's sponsor, unveiled its first two Katy Perry-themed commercials (above and below) after Bob Costas announced her involvement Sunday.
