Katy Perry performed a cracker of a show at the Super Bowl XLIX with a nod to the 1990s.

From giant palm trees, bikini dancers and shark cameos to performances with Missy Elliot and Lenny Kravitz, she was on fire.

Katy made an entrance on a giant lion (some say it’s a tiger)

Katy rocked with Lenny Kravitz for her anthem I Kissed A Girl

He was the highlight of the rock-filled track, shining on the guitar. Meanwhile others compared Katy’s flame outfit to Will Ferrell’s skater outfit in Blades Of Glory.

California Gurls and Teenage Dreams inspired another costume change

The sharks became a hit

Seriously, these aren’t background performers. They now have their own parody Twitter account where they muse on everything from killer whales and working with Lady Gaga.

Missy Elliot joined Perry on stage (and yep, another costume change)

With the anthem Get Ur Freak On, Work It and Lose Control, Missy Elliot out-shone Katy Perry.

Katy ended on a high – and a firework

Did she literally go out on a bang? As she belted out Firework, Katy went up, up and away soaring over the crowds on her own firework swing. Impressive. Don’t forget this was the half-time show. AKA 15 minutes.

And there were actual fireworks too
