Super Bowl 2015 Halftime Show: Katy Perry and Houston Texans' J.J. Watt Talk Nerve-Racking Super Bowl XLIX Performance
While posing with Texas football player J.J. Watt for ESPN magazine, "Dark Horse" singer Katy Perry also opened up about her feelings towards her upcoming Super Bowl performance.
Perry revealed she is a little nervous about the show that she describes as more than a dream.
"Honestly? I feel like I've outdreamt my dream. I don't get nervous about much, but I'll definitely be a little tingly inside that day," Perry said.
Watt also chimed in on Perry's upcoming show, noting that Perry is "playing in a bigger game than I've ever gotten to play in."
"I'm hoping to someday be in those shoes," he said.
Prior to her ESPN interview, Perry announced that musician and actor Lenny Kravitz would appear as one of many special guests during her half-time show.
"My first special guest is going to be an incredible rock & roll icon, a guitar god," Perry said before announcing Kravitz's name on "Today."
She also insinuated she and Kravitz might perform one of his biggest hits, "American Woman," during the SuperBowl.
"We'll see," Perry said in response to an inquiry about "American Woman."
While Perry played coy when discussing what songs Kravitz would perform, she was very adamant about dispelling rumors that she paid to perform at the Super Bowl. In a separate interview obtained by the Associated Press via Syracuse, Perry revealed that, contrary to NFL standards, she was not asked to pay for her Super Bowl performance. Instead, she made it very clear early on that she would be paid by the NFL to perform her 12-minute number.
"I put my foot down very early in the courtship. I said, 'Look guys, here's where I draw a line in the sand,'" she said. "I want to be invited on my own merits and not with some fine print. I stuck to my position ... I don't even care if my contract leaks. ... I have nothing to hide, basically."
Refinery29 reports that previous Super Bowl acts -- including Beyonce -- "weren't paid a dime" by the NFL for their performance.
