Katy Perry came roaring into the University of Phoenix stadium on a giant lion for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and it only got crazier from there with dancing sharks, robotic chess pieces, and lots of pyrotechnics.
The show had numerous costume changes — Perry was everything from a sparkly, star-spangled diva for "Firework" to the chicest Hot Dog on a Stick employee for "California Gurls" — as well as cameos from Missy Elliot, Lenny Kravitz, and the "More You Know" star. Take a look at photos and a video montage from the dazzling performance below.—Catherine Garcia
