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.

Perry rode out on a giant robotic tiger to her hit single "Roar."

Time for a quick costume change. Perry joined dancing beach balls and sharks (really!) for her hit "California Dream."

Missy Elliott then shocked everyone with a surprise appearance to perform three singles: "Get Ur Freak On," "Work It," and "Lose Control."
