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.
