Yup. She was the rumored half time performer for this Super Bowl, but obviously it didn't happen (likely due to her pregnancy). You sure?! Katy, Rihanna and Coldplay were the rumored performers but Katy paid up.

Who cares? But in the end, this is a TOTAL WIN-WIN for Katy. Like a million % win. I was blown away honesty. Wouldn't have expected anything else tbh

The only names I recall being in serious contention were Katy Perry, Coldplay and Rihanna. If Carrie was rumored, it was likely because she's the face of NBC's football coverage. But since that's true, it means the next real chance for her isn't until 2018.

Carrie was rumored back in August, just weeks before she announced she was pregnant: theboot.com/carrie-underwood-super-bowl-2015/

It's been speculated that Carrie was the original selection for the Halftime show this year, but then got pregnant and had to back out, which led to the NFL scrambling to find someone at shorter notice than most artists would normally get. Thus, the "pay to play" thing occurred. [4263944739]

I have to give Katy props for the throwbacks in the performance from the Yo Gabba Gabba teas to Lenny and Missy.

I know this will never happen, but Kylie would put on an amazing halftime show.

Ready for that Missy comeback now. Nicki and Iggy need to learn how it's done.

I know this will never happen, but Kylie would put on an amazing halftime show. Ha ha, I can imagine the mass confusion on straight guy's faces all over America seeing someone they've never remotely heard of doing half time. Of course Kylie's hot, so they probably wouldn't care.

Katy, Rihanna and Coldplay were the rumored performers but Katy paid up. All three rejected the 'pay to play' offer. It was widely covered - even in Wall Street Journal. Katy didn't pay.

Missy was far and away the best part of Katy's show and I hope she releases an album ASAP by cashing in on the buzz right now.

Yeah atleast the straight men with Kylie will get something actually hot to look at. She would also be able to sing and dance too i think she would be brilliant.

Congrats to Katy Perry and her fans on her getting through the halftime show. Big career milestone there, and it was very clear that she wanted to deliver. There was a moment early on, a choreographed fist pump when I thought I saw Katy's arm trembling, and I felt for her. The "Roar" entrance was excellent and the "Dark Horse" bit was really well-staged -- "Dark Horse" was probably when Katy looked most comfortable up there. I was really annoyed by the live-to-tape vocals, though, and they rendered most of Katy's performance pointless for me. Massive production notwithstanding, I thought the performance was generally missing Katy's cheeky personality -- it was so staged as to lack any sense of immediacy. I wanted to see Katy enjoying herself, but it didn't seem to me that she ever got to that point. Again, I'm sympathetic to that...I remember how even Madonna looked overcome with nerves when she performed on that stage. But at the end of the day, Katy didn't screw up, and she can look back and know that she did this. So again, congrats.
For me, Missy Elliott and her command of the stage were everything that the show needed -- "Get Your Freak On" has always been a favorite (and of course this made me miss Nelly Furtado...). I have no idea how much of her delivery was live...would have to watch back to get a sense. It was great to see her back, though. Kudos to the people who came up with that idea, and to Katy for yielding the stage.

My dad thought Katy was good just to spite me because I said she was lipping and couldn't sing live.
His response on the parts she did suck on: "Yeah... she sucks... that's why she maks millions and performed at the Halftime show"
Eyerolled so hard, like talent and success are the same thing.

I ended up watching the Super Bowl at a packed gay bar. People went NUUUUUUUUTTTTTSSS when Missy Elliott came out. The place f**king erupted.
Just the fact that Katy let Missy come out and shine gets her major points from me. She gave Missy more stage time than Beyonce gave to Kelly and Michelle, lmao.
The show was perfectly enjoyable. It was fun and flashy, which is what I wanted from her.

Jealous. Though now I wonder if the gay bar here had the super bowl on? I never even thought about that.
