It's the show EVERYBODY is talking about - Katy Perry's Halftime Show at the Super Bowl XLIX!

Katy performed nine songs, three of which were actually Missy Elliot's and wore four outfits as she sparkled her way towards a fireworks-filled finale in four outfits in 12 minutes.

After ex-husband Russell Brand had tweeted her good luck, Katy rode into the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona on a massive LION to Roar... but it also looked a bit like a tiger. Still, really cool.

And here are our favourite 20 moments...

She entered on a MASSIVE LION singing Roar. Or a tiger. But we think a LION.

And the internet was like "Why is Katy Perry twerking against that fella from The Hunger Games if she likes kissing girls?"

Is it us, or do these dancers look a LOT like Taylor Swift when she's on holiday??

Missy Elliot came onstage and heralded Katy's third costume

We enjoyed Katy's sassy microphone being attached to her wrist. That's just practical

SHE FLEW UP IN THE AIR ON A GIANT SHOOTING STAR. That'll be why the mic was strapped to her wrist. Also why Missy Elliot had two songs on her own, while she was attached to it, we're guessing.

Then it turned into a shooting star with pyrotechnics
