Summary Perry will perform her hits at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, at Super Bowl.
(Reuters) - Pop singer Katy Perry on Thursday teased a lion, sharks and at least some live singing during her Super Bowl halftime performance, the most-watched dozen minutes annually on U.S. television.
The "Roar" singer wouldn t divulge much about her Sunday gig at the NFL title game but did say to expect an unnamed "old school" female singer as a surprise performer in addition to rocker Lenny Kravitz.
"I think I m going to play on my strengths, which are humor, incredible joy. ... I just hope at the end of the day that over 100 million people are smiling in unison," Perry told a news conference at the Phoenix Convention Center.
The 30-year-old pop star, known for her colorful costumes and songs about female empowerment, would not say how much of her singing would be pre-recorded, often an issue that has earned criticism for singers performing at big events.
"I think a lot of it will be live," said Perry, who boasts Twitter s largest following.
Two years ago, the run-up to Beyonce s halftime performance was overshadowed by her lip-synched performance at President Barack Obama s inauguration.
Perry will perform her hits at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, at the Super Bowl match-up of the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
Last year s halftime show, headlined by singer Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers, attracted a record 115.3 million TV viewers, slightly more than the game itself averaged.
A performance at the Super Bowl is considered the music industry s top promotional platform.
