Super Bowl Halftime Show 2015: Katy Perry's Best Moments and Highlights

Katy Perry made teenage dreams come true and made fans at University of Phoenix Stadium roar Sunday night, working through her extensive catalogue of hits during her Super Bowl halftime performance.

Perry, almost reaching a one-outfit-per-song status, turned in a performance that was, as she promised, as broad as possible. She satisfied those who have been with her from the beginning ("I Kissed a Girl"), those who latched on during the Teenage Dream phase ("Firework") and even people who only know her from hanging out with Juicy J ("Dark Horse"). 

"I just hope at the end of the day that over 100 million people are all smiling in unison," Perry told reporters. "If you can imagine that happening, I think there's going to be an incredible energy that goes across the world."

Beginning the performance atop a mechanical tiger and clad in a flame suit, Perry began her set with a rousing rendition of "Roar" that finished with most fearing for her safety as the tiger reared its body backward. Those who bet "Roar" at 3-2 odds, per OddsShark.com, were certainly pleased.

Perry then transitioned the medley into "Dark Horse," unfortunately sans Juicy J, before a rock-infused version of "I Kissed a Girl." Things went from "Dark" to bubblegum pop from there, with Perry ditching the flame gear and getting her "Teenage Dream" on. After a few more wardrobe changes and some surprises, Perry wound up closing with "Firework," perhaps her widest-known hit.

Despite the extensive set, Perry wasn't hurting for chart-topping songs to perform. Her Teenage Dream tied Michael Jackson's Bad for the most singles from the same album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Overall, she's had nine No. 1 singles spread across three albums and 15 of her singles have reached the Top 20. There was no need for a Kanye West surprise appearance for "E.T." or a nod to the difference between this and last year's Super Bowls with "Hot 'n Cold." Perry has so many hits she likely had to trim some from her final performance.

If that weren't enough, Perry also had some Billboard-topping help to join her on the stage.

In recent years, teasing guest performers has become just as much a part of the job as performing. Last year Bruno Mars brought out the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a year prior the Super Bowl played host to a Destiny's Child reunion during Beyonce's set. True to form, Perry had her own tricks up her sleeve.

Bringing legends of rock and rap together, Missy Elliott and Kravitz joined the stage midway through the performance. Kravitz, a multitalented star whose expertise is perfect for a show like this, was given the stage to perform a verse from "I Kissed a Girl" and shred on the guitar. Elliott, a pioneer for women in rap who is in the midst of a comeback, came on and performed "Get Your Freak On," "Work It" and "Lose Control."

"I'm very, very excited about this guest," Perry told reporters this week of Elliott. "I wanted to kind of bring someone back, like a throwback of sorts...All I can say is that it will be a real female fun act. It's a bit old school, yes, but when this person enters the stage and when you hear the first ring of the chord, I think jaws will drop and faces will melt."

Also melting were Internet servers as anxious Katy Kats rushed online to purchase pieces of the performance. As noted by Alicia Jessop of The Huffington Post, Perry had the first ever "shoppable" halftime show. Fans were able to connect to their ShopTV apps on Smart TVs or use integrated Twitter hashtags and find items related to the event.

Even if you weren't a voracious fan before Sunday, Perry undoubtedly won at least some of the 100 million people watching. Her songs and albums were already ascending the iTunes charts in preparation for the performance and will continue throughout the week. Billboard reported a 164 percent jump in sales for Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox, which had been more than a year removed from its release like Perry's Prism.

At the very least, Perry got to show a brand-new audience how she do. That may be worth more than anything to Perry in extending her legacy as arguably the biggest face in pop music.
