Katy Perry owned the Super Bowl with an action-packed, over-the-top halftime show
Katy Perry kicked off the Super Bowl halftime show in high fashion. The 30-year-old pop star rode in on a giant robotic tiger singing her song, "Roar."
The show only got bigger, and sometimes stranger, from there.
Perry performed six of her songs, accompanied by Lenny Kravitz and a surprise appearance by Missy Elliot, who may have stolen the halftime show.
From interestingly costumed backup dancers and singing and dancing beach balls and sharks, Perry's first halftime show was a big success.

Whoa.
Watch out, Beyoncé. Perry brought her game face.
