15. Super Bowl 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 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.
