Katy Perry still holds a special place in her heart for her remarkable Super Bowl halftime show performance, even after several years have passed. During a recent interview with Vogue’s “Life in Looks,” the renowned singer candidly shared her unforgettable experience of gracing the stage at this monumental occasion. Over the years, the Super Bowl halftime show has become synonymous with extraordinary entertainment, showcasing iconic performers such as Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and Madonna. With its incredible spectacle, this event effortlessly captivates millions of eager viewers who eagerly anticipate its dazzling showcase.
According to CNBC, Perry’s performance during the Super Bowl halftime show attracted a remarkable 121 million viewers, surpassing all other shows of the same kind in terms of viewership. To amplify the thrill, Perry was joined on stage by the renowned Lenny Kravitz and the sensational Missy Elliot. Rihanna’s captivating performance at this year’s game came in at a close second, mesmerizing an impressive 118.7 million viewers. In a candid interview with Vogue, Perry expressed that this experience brought forth an unparalleled level of excitement and significance, cementing it as one of the most remarkable moments in her career.
Perry exuberantly shared her overwhelming sentiment towards the Super Bowl experience. She compared it to a thrilling journey on the brink of life or even the intensity of childbirth. Among the many impressive elements of her performance, her attire truly left a lasting impression. Donning a matching crop top and skirt ensemble embellished with vibrant stripes in red, white, yellow, and blue, Perry completely owned the stage as she belted out her chart-topping song “Teenage Dream.” The audience was instantly captivated around four minutes into her remarkable 12 and a half minute showcase.
According to Perry, the creation of the design was a team effort involving Jeremy Scott and Johnny Wujek. Even though Scott left his position as creative director at Moschino recently, his influence on the project was evident. Perry also highlighted the significant contribution of Wujek, an acclaimed Emmy-winning costume designer. The end result of their collaboration is a design that radiates a sense of nostalgic appeal, evoking memories of vibrant beach balls and capturing the carefree ambiance of summer and the seaside.
During Perry’s interview, she entertained her audience with a humorous anecdote about her preparations for the shoot of her iconic music video “California Gurls” in 2010. It appeared that spray tans were not part of Perry’s regular routine, and the norm was to have the tanning session a day before the event. However, due to her packed schedule, she had no other option but to get her tan applied on the same day as the video shoot. Unbeknownst to her, this spur-of-the-moment decision would soon result in a beauty blunder.
Perry made a delightful revelation about her skin’s whimsical behavior throughout the day, as it slowly turned into a vibrant shade of orange. This unexpected transformation caused some extra work during the production of her music video, requiring post-production adjustments to fix the color. In a playful and lighthearted manner, she shared a clever suggestion to help others avoid similar predicaments in the future. Perry recommended opting for artificial tans the night before any important events. This witty trick not only saves individuals from the hassle of color correction expenses but also offers substantial cost savings.
