Super Bowl 2015: Katy Perry to headline NFL half-time show

Katy Perry will headline the NFL Super Bowl half-time show in February 2015.

Katy Perry, 30, tweeted she had “already started testing out ideas” for the show on February 1 in Arizona.

The show is the most-watched musical event of the year, with a record 115 million viewers in the US watching this year’s half-time show.

Katy Perry joins the likes of Bruno Mars, Beyonce and Madonna who have previously performed.

The announcement of Katy Perry’s upcoming performance was made at half-time during the Cowboys-Giants game on Sunday night.

It was accompanied by a video featuring Katy Perry at a “half-time show testing facility” apparently trying out ideas for her show.

It includes a glitter-filled stadium, unicorns, giant sharks breathing fire, kittens and the suggestion Katy Perry could be wrapped in bacon.

Katy Perry’s performance will be the NFL’s fourth consecutive show to include younger acts after previous performers Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, and The Who.

Katy Perry is currently on her Prismatic world tour in Australia.
