Here is Katy Perry kicking off her performance atop a robotic tiger onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Perry then transitioned into her megahit ?Dark Horse? before rocking out on stage with Lenny Kravitz, who couldn?t have looked more like a rocker in a leather jacket and red aviators. While singing ?I Kissed a Girl,? John Mayer?s ex didn?t hold back and gyrated against the rocker while whipping her hair back and forth.

She?s always been a witty woman and Katy Perry had reporters eating out of the palm of her hand during the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show press conference on Thursday night (January 29) in Phoenix.
The ?Firework? songstress referenced the New England Patriots? ?Deflategate? scandal in her opening remarks- ?I don?t think I?m so much of an expert on the game of football, but I think I can assure everyone here that nothing in my performance will be deflated.?
Perry went on to announce her pick for Super Bowl champ- ?I love the Seahawks because of [quarterback Russell Wilson], and I think I?m probably going to go for them.? And of course, Katy?s adorable dog Butters made an appearance!

Katy Perry covers the February issue of ESPN mag to promote her upcoming “ideal” Super Bowl halftime act. Her covermate is none other than Texans defensive end J.J. Watt. Katy has no idea who the dude is, so we have something in common. Since I’m from Oklahoma, I keep confusing the guy’s name with former congressman J.C. Watts. There’s my lazy excuse. Katy’s performing in the year’s biggest game, so she should know better, right? In this joint interview, Katy and J.J. both play the role of the underdog who clawed their way to the top:
Katy didn’t know who Watts was: “I went straight to Google. I’ve been showing it to my friends, saying, ‘Check out this guy. I’m gonna be shootin’ with this guy.’”
Her first football game was last fall? “Journey was playing ‘Don’t Stop Believing,’ and I just thought, ‘Why not be the quintessential college girl and jump off the bar?’ It was everything I dreamed of. I only need to do it once, though. That was the one time on the tour that I really had a couple of beers. And the next day I was like [groan] …”
Katy’s most rewarding moments: “For me, it’s about the lyrics, when they’re all singing these songs I wrote in a little apartment, or in a garage, or a small studio. Especially when I first started, hearing these lyrics that were so sacred to me, hearing thousands of people sing them, it’s an incredible feeling that is unmatched to anything else.”
Her childhood: “Everybody would be going about their business, and then all of a sudden their heads would turn when I would start singing. It was this magic trick that I had. I guess I loved that attention. And I went for it. But when I was singing into a hairbrush, I had no idea the incredible amount of work that would be asked of me in order to be at this level. A lot of people would agree that it’s easy to get to the top, but it’s about staying there, following it up with great plays every time.”
Is she nervous? “Honestly? I feel like I’ve outdreamt my dream. I don’t get nervous about much, but I’ll definitely be a little tingly inside that day.”

This is a pretty sanitized interview without much to grab onto, mostly because at least 115 million eyes will be glued to the Super Bowl no matter what. The softball questions were answered in kind. Does anyone else find it hilarious that Katy doesn’t know jack about football, but she’s playing the halftime show in a few weeks? It doesn’t matter, really.
Katy’s discussion of lasting power is interesting. I never suspected she’d be around long after her gimmicky, faux-lesbian entry to stardom, but she proved us all wrong. Does that surprise you?

Before I get into the main part of this post, I wanted to mention the People puff piece about how Katy Perry and John Mayer are “in love” after getting back together for a fourth time. Kaiser, CB, and I all took bets on how long this time will last. I’m probably going to lose by saying John will propose this time (before breaking it off), but we’ll see.
Now for the more interesting part. The Super Bowl is only two weeks away, and Katy’s preparing her act. She refused the “pay to play” proposal by the NFL. The league’s stance is that the artists gain great exposure from 110 million viewers. I disagree. Any act who plays for the Super Bowl is well established and will bring plenty of their own audience to the table. The NFL’s greed shines through with the dumb “pay to play” scheme.
Anyway. Katy talked to the Chicago Tribune about that subject and also the Ray Rice situation. CBS saw fit to pull a Rihanna performance (because, hey, why let a DV survivor have a voice?) before they hired Katy. Of course Katy is talking up how her female empowerment tunes make her the best performer possible for this year’s game. Oh?
On the NFL’s handling of Ray Rice: “It wasn’t an image problem, it was a problem. We were all watching and asking ourselves questions about what this year would mean. But I think that the problem that the NFL is dealing with is a global problem … we need to work out — or educate people on.”
Katy can help: “I’m all about female empowerment and uplifting people’s spirits, and people finding their own voice with songs like ‘Roar’ and ‘Firework,’ so maybe there is no better person. Hopefully I can bring that incredible strength and empowerment to people through the performance.”
Katy won’t “pay for play”: “I put my foot down very early in the courtship. I said, ‘Look guys, here’s where I draw a line in the sand. I want to be invited on my own merits and not with some fine print. I stuck to my position … I don’t even care if my contract leaks. … I have nothing to hide, basically.”
She won’t have a “wardrobe malfunction”: “Everything I’ve done in my career hasn’t been blatant this or that. It’s always with a wink. It’s a soft-serve sexiness. My intention is that everyone talks about the music and nothing else. … Sometimes you can’t control other people. But I will control myself.”
[From Chicago Tribune]
I don’t know, man. Katy doesn’t even know the meaning of feminism, so it bugs when she talks about being the strongest candidate for empowering women. She did successfully woo millions of grade-school girls into singing about wanting to see a “Peac*ock.” I guess that’s enough female empowerment for Katy. She’s so clueless, and the whole “soft-serve sexiness” part is hilarious. Because … whipped cream rack.
One silver lining: Lenny Kravitz (!) will share the stage with Katy. If she does to “Let Love Rule” what Fergie did to “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” the gloves are off. At least we’ll have something nice to look at.

A Queenstown man said he saw Perry at the Blue Door with a group of about a dozen people before they were whisked away before midnight in waiting vehicles, avoiding paparazzi waiting in Buckingham St, the town’s main thoroughfare.
Perry was wearing a black top, black lycra pants, a baseball cap and trainers, he said.
She posted a photograph of herself and a Wanaka-based Alpine Helicopters chopper in an alpine landscape on Instagram, with one word greeting ? ?hi?.

She?s currently on tour in Australia and Katy Perry made the most of some downtime by taking a seriously sexy selfie.
On Thursday (November 13), the ?I Kissed a Girl? songstress posted the snapshot via Twitter along with the caption, ?Feeling v Loita rn [right now],? and soon thereafter her fans had retweetd the post more than 24,000 times.
The Lolita reference comes from Katy?s song ?One of the Boys? in which she sings, "So over the summer something changed / I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs / And I studied Lolita religiously / And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me."
Perry previously explained her connection to the character from Vladimir Naobkov?s 1955 novel ?Lolita?- "As many of you readers know? I am mildly obsessed with the character Lolita. I have studied this woman's every move. I found her a most fascinating creature?she was young and innocent but had a bit of a sex kitten in her and knew exactly how to use it.?
"I have ALWAYS been obsessed with the Lolita portrayed by the fantastic actress, Dominique Swain in the movie Lolita with Jeremy Irons (A MUST BUY). I have studied her every move, braided my hair like hers, tried to find jumpers like hers and high waisted shorts. To this woman?lolita/Dominique I owe my career practically."

She?s happily in love with producer/deejay Diplo these days, but there was a time when Katy Perry wasn?t sure how to get out of bed in the morning.
In her new interview with Australia?s The Project, the ?Hot N Cold? songstress talked about the difficulty in recovering from her divorce from Russell Brand.
Katy explained, "It was sad and there were [suicidal] thoughts, but there were never actions, thankfully. Then there's 'By the Grace of God,' which is the first song that I wrote coming to make this record, when I was in a different place, I was in a darker place.?
"You always feel like you're the only one going through that. Well then comes along a song that speaks to you, that makes you feel like, ?Gosh, I can get through this. If she can get through this, I can get through this.'"
Perry definitely got through it, and earlier today (November 10) she offered birthday wishes to her boyfriend via Twitter- "Happy Birthday," she tweeted along with a shrimp emoji.

While many female celebrities are trying out sexy getups for Halloween, Katy Perry has decided to don a big orange blob suit.
The ?Hot N Cold? songstress dressed up as a Crunchy Flamin? Hot Cheeto as she arrived at a Los Angeles-are party last night, carrying a purse made out of a bag of Cheetos.
As it turns out, Katy?s outfit has some historical significance, as she ate a ton of Cheetos while going through her divorce from Russell Brand.
Perry previously told Marie Claire, "There were two weeks of my life after I found out the truth of my marriage where I was like, 'OK. All right. I can't feel this. This is too intense right now. I was like, 'I'm just eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos and drinking, and that's it.'"

She loves a big crowd and Katy Perry will play to over one hundred million viewers when she takes the stage during the halftime show at Super Bowl XLIX in February.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the ?I Kissed a Girl? singer has been selected for the highly-coveted gig and she even joked about it during ESPN?s College GameDay last weekend.
Perry shared, "We have had some conversations, and I would be honored, of course. But I have let them know that I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl. The ball is in their field."
One music industry agent called the NFL?s attempt to get artists to pay to play the Super Bowl ?a joke.? "Obviously it is a marketing boon to play halftime for the Super Bowl. But I hope that everybody tells them to go get stuffed."
Catch Katy Perry on the Super Bowl XLIX stage on February 1st!
