She wasn't a dark horse in this race. Katy Perry's name was tossed around for months in a list of potential Super Bowl halftime show performers, and on Thursday evening, Oct. 9, multiple reports confirmed that the "This Is How We Do" singer will indeed be the star of the show at Super Bowl XLIX.
Originally rumored for the gig with the likes of Coldplay and Rihanna, Perry will play the Super Bowl for the first time in her career. A source confirms to Us Weekly that the crooner has been in "serious discussions" with the NFL.

The Grammy-nominated performer, 29, is coming off of the huge success of her fourth studio album Prism. Released last October, the project hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went multiplatinum. It also provided Perry with hits including "Birthday," "Unconditionally," and "Roar."
Perry, who has yet to comment on the reported booking, would join an impressive group of performers who have taken the stage at the NFL's biggest game. Last year, Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers played the Super Bowl, while other past performers include Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, and The Rolling Stones.

Rumors began swirling about Super Bowl XLIX's halftime performance this past August, when the Wall Street Journal wrote about the NFL's reported request that musicians pay the league for the honor of playing the show. While artists haven't received a paycheck for the concert in the past, the idea of acts paying to play was largely met with criticism.
The day that WSJ's report broke, Perry tweeted without context, "Negotiating 101: You always win if you have nothing to lose!" She also added on an appearance on ESPN's College Game Day on Saturday, Oct. 4, "I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl."

The pop star must have paid attention in Negotiating 101, as she seems to have struck a deal with the NFL for the gig.



Is this a joke?? Katy Perry?? Worst choice ever for the halftime show, she cant even sing well live, or dance, or sing and dance at the same time... I hope this is just a rumour and they've picked someone more deserving.
 
PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Exes Katy Perry and John reunite for dinner date and a sleepover... 11 months after splitting up

She was most recently romantically linked to super-producer Diplo, following her February split from John Mayer.
But it seems that Katy Perry, 30, has some unfinished business with her 37-year-old ex, as she was spotted enjoying a dinner date with John in Beverly Hills, California, over the weekend.
And it appears that the chart-toppers so enjoyed their night, that they decided to keep things going, with a source revealing that John spent the night with Katy at her palatial home.

Rekindling their romance? Katy Perry and John Mayer appear to be giving their relationship another shot as they enjoyed dinner together at a friend's house in Beverly Hills over the weekend before going back to her house for a sleepover

Why so shy? Katy and John tried to avoid being seen together as they left their friend's home separately

Their night began with the pair meeting up with female friend for dinner at her home, where the stars pulled up in separate cars.


Apparently aware of keeping things under wraps, the source said that the singers made great efforts not to be seen together as they made their way into the house.
And once the meal was over, the pair continued on to Katy's nearby home, where the source said John remained until 4pm the following afternoon.

Katy and John split last February but it appears as if they could be getting back together

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Katy Perry and John Mayer for comment.
Ironically, soon after his break-up with Katy, John spoke about the reason why women often decide to get back together with their ex-boyfriends.
He told America's Sirius Radio: ‘It is a connection to the past, a reaction to fear of the unknown. They go back with a guy they don't like just because they know how to get to his bathroom in the dark.’

Taking no chances: The couple arrived and left separately to attempt to avoid being seen but they were soon spotted

The star, who had an on/off relationship with Katy from 2012, went on to gush about the Dark Horse singer, saying: ‘She's extremely driven and extremely serious about doing great work.’
Apparently, her drive and determination may have been part of the cause of the unravelling of their romance - as well as their differing approaches to life.
'They're two very strong-willed people' a source told People soon after their split. 'Despite caring about each other very much and wanting to make it work, they are, at their core, quite different.

'At times they seemed really happy together and in love, and other times he seemed like he just wanted to get away from all the parties and go home. I can't say I always blamed him.'
Added the source: 'She's a smart girl. She knows no relationship can survive that kind of distance and strain, and she's not going to slow down now when she's at the top of her game.'
In 2014, Katy, ex-wife of Russell Brand, was romantically linked to Diplo, real name Thomas Pentz.

Unfinished business: It seems that Katy has some unfinished business with her ex, as she was spotted enjoying a dinner date with John in Beverly Hills

As recently as November, he fanned the flames of controversy - and made something of a statement of the pair's romance - when he lashed out at Katy's nemesis Taylor Swift on Twitter about the size of her posterior.
And while their is much speculation over the current nature of her relationship with John, Katy is apparently intent on staying mum.
On Saturday, she took to her Twitter account to write to her 62.7 million followers: 'Current mood: Speak if it only improves upon the silence - Mahatma Gandhi'.
 
They're three of the most famous women in the world.

And it's a rare occasion that Katy Perry, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus are in the same place at the same time, which is exactly what happened on Thursday as the pop princesses attended The Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards event.

The glamorous trio pulled out all the stops in the style stakes as they competed for the title of most fashionable while taking pride of place in the front row.
