The New England Patriots solidified the National Football League Super Bowl XLIX Championship in the last minute against the Seattle Seahawks with a final score of 28-24 on Feb. 1 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. At the end of the second quarter, the score was 14-14, leading to the much-anticipated halftime performance by Katy Perry on the world’s physically largest stage.

Perry’s 13-minute performance showcased a mashup of her top hits and had an explosive end as she was lifted above the stage to sing over the field her last song, “Firework.”

Perry started literally on fire, opening the show riding into the stadium on a golden animatronic lion and singing “Roar” in a dress filled with flames. She then transitioned  to “Black Horse,” with the field visually transformed into a 3-D chessboard. Lenny Kravitz joined Perry on stage for a duet of “I Kissed a Girl.”

After a quick wardrobe change, a child-friendly beach rendition of “Teenage Dream” went out as sharks, palm trees and beachballs danced and shared the stage with Perry, and “California Girls” quickly followed.

Missy Elliott, Perry’s surprise guest performer, before the finale sang alongside the star her three most popular songs: “Work it,” “Lose Control” and “Get Ur Freak On.” Pepsi sponsored the halftime show, which ended in a fireworks display.

For the NFL, the decision to have Perry perform likely increased viewership of women and families for the Super Bowl, already known as each year’s most-watched U.S. television broadcast, according to Time Magazine.

“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 [for the show],” said Perry to the Associated Press. “Hopefully, I can bring that incredible strength and empowerment to people through the performance.”

An article by the International Business Times projected the 49th NFL Super Bowl had a record-breaking audience of 113 million viewers, nearly 2 million more than last year.

In the months leading up to the game, there was speculation the NFL was attempting to get Perry to make a pay-to-play deal, which she refused. Similar to previous years, the league and singer ultimately decided she would perform for no charge and the NFL would cover the production costs.

“I think my songs are anthemic,” Perry said at the NFL Press Conference on Jan. 29. “I just hope at the end of the day, 100 million people are all smiling in unison.”

After a diet in preparation for the biggest concert of her career, Perry now is looking forward to being able to have Girl Scout cookies again, according to Twitter.
