• Katy Perry: God Told Me 'I Got You' Before Super Bowl Halftime Show

    When Katy Perry's gospel career failed to gain much traction in the early 2000s, she turned to pop and never looked back. But it is clear God still plays an important role in her life: He apparently spoke to her before the internationally televised Super Bowl XLIX halftime show, after all, telling her, "I got you."
  • Katy Perry Explains How NFL Was 'Boss Daddy' During Super Bowl Halftime Preparation

    By all accounts, performing at the NFL Super Bowl halftime show is an incredibly nerve-wracking thing to do. Missy Elliott said her anxiety levels were off the charts before her set last Sunday, Feb. 1, and Katy Perry recently revealed that her preparation was no walk in the park, either. "In my show, I am boss daddy," she told "Elle," referring to her typical world tour setup. "I am boss mommy. They call me Boss. Everything goes through my eyes; I call all the shots, 100 percent of it."
  • One of Katy Perry's Sharks From Her Super Bowl Performance Did an AMA

    The Northeastern and Northwestern sections of the United States wake up in different moods this morning, but for the rest of us without a stake in the fight, we have been left with some interesting images from the Super Bowl. Many will remember Darrell Bevell's terrible call on the goal line to call quick slants when Marshawn Lynch could have punched that in, but Katy Perry's halftime show had some interesting visual pieces that will make forgetting Bevell a little easier. One of the most iconic members of her halftime show were the two sharks that flanked the "Roar" singer as she sang "California Gurls" with a playful, tropical backdrop of palm trees, beach balls and, infamously, two dancing sharks. One of the sharks just did a brief Reddit AMA -- which is below -- and answered a few of the burning questions fans have for the veteran of the Katy Perry crew.
  • Lenny Kravitz Joins Katy Perry Super Bowl Halftime Show as 'Special Guest'

    Last year, Bruno Mars got the Red Hot Chili Peppers to join his Super Bowl halftime performance. There was really no need for the addition, from an aesthetic point of view, because Mars killed it on his own — but the NFL and Fox decided they needed to appeal to an older audience. This year, Katy Perry was expected to have enough firepower to perform her own gig, but the "Teenage Dream" singer just announced she is adding Lenny Kravitz to the show. "My first special guest is going to be an incredible rock & roll icon, a guitar god," Perry told NBC's Willie Geist in an interview set to air Monday, Jan. 12, on "The Today Show," via "Rolling Stone." E! reports the 30-year-old singer was pumped about the addition of Kravitz, an international sensation with two U.S. mainstream rock No. 1 hits — "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and "Fly Away" — under his belt.
