Katy Perry to Play Super Bowl Halftime Show

Other contenders included Rihanna and Coldplay

According to multiple sources, the National Football League has chosen Katy Perry to perform at the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show on February 1, 2015.

The Wall Street Journal reported in August that Perry was in the running for the gig, alongside Coldplay and Rihanna. That publication also reported that, while the NFL typically doesn't pay artists for the performance (although they do cover production costs), the league was asking contenders for financial contributions in return for the exposure generated by the performance.
