— -- Katy Perry's Super Bowl XLIX halftime show had a little bit of everything -- a large lion, dancing life-sized beach balls, a few costume changes and a surprise performance from Missy Elliott.

Perry opened the show riding a huge lion while singing her hit-song "Roar."

Guitarist Lenny Kravitz joined the pop star for "I Kissed a Girl."

Perry finished the show with an explosive rendition of "Firework" and it was explosive -- with plenty of fireworks taking flight outside the stadium.

The performance came to a crescendo when Perry boarded a shooting star stand that took her above the field and around the University of Phoenix Stadium.
