Sources have confirmed with Billboard that Katy Perry will hit the stage at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, when Super Bowl XLIX takes place on February 1, 2015.
Perry was one of three finalists, including Rihanna and Coldplay, that the NFL reportedly shortlisted for the big sporting spectacle. At the time, the National Football League also reportedly would ask artists to pay for the coveted halftime slot, after last year’s Super Bowl drew in a record-setting 111.5 million viewers and previous performers received a large boost in sales, touring, etc.
