Which singer headlined the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX halftime show in 2015?

The story behind the answer

Katy Perry headlined the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX halftime show in 2015.

The performance took place at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, during the game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. Perry opened with “Roar” and performed several of her best-known songs in a large-scale production.

Lenny Kravitz appeared as a special guest, and Missy Elliott joined Perry during the show for several songs. The broadcast became especially memorable for Perry’s entrance on a giant mechanical tiger and the colorful “Left Shark” dancers.

The halftime show was presented under Pepsi’s sponsorship, which was part of the brand’s long-running association with the Super Bowl entertainment program. Pepsi’s title sponsorship ended after the 2022 season, but the 2015 performance remains one of the event’s most widely discussed halftime shows.
