PHOENIX—Katy Perry plans on making history when she steps on the stage during halftime of the NFL's biggest game on Sunday.

"I will tell you that I think I'm probably the only person in Super Bowl halftime history that will ever bring both a lion and sharks to the show," said Perry at Thursday's pre-game press conference in Arizona.

Perry promised she will be wearing multiple costumes as part of her performance, explaining that if she got 12 and a half minutes, she was going to take the opportunity to show off a number of different looks.

With multiple costume changes, however, brought concern that it could only increase the chance of some sort of "wardrobe malfunction," a reference to the brief exposure of Janet Jackson's breast during the Super Bowl halftime performance in 2004.

"I'm not a self-sabotager by nature," said Perry. "What I really want at the end of the day if there is news about my performance or some caption, for all of it to be about the music and the female empowerment and that everybody just had a great time. There was never any intention to do anything besides put on a great show."

Perry will be performing in front of more than 60,000 fans inside the stadium and another 100 million television viewers in the United States alone.

The pop star will be joined by rocker Lenny Kravitz on stage, but there are also plans to have another artist join them, one whose identity is being kept secret. Perry would only reveal that it's a female from a different era.

"I think when this person enters the stage and when you hear the first ring of the chord," said Perry, "I think jaws will drop and faces will melt."

I initially read her quote as being: "I Think Jawas Will Drop and Faces Will Melt".

The reaction inside my head: she's going to combine Star Wars with Raiders of the Lost Ark for her halftime show? THAT'S AWESOME AND I'M TOTALLY WATCHING.

Then I re-read the headline. And was sad.
