Katy hints at SB guest performer
Quote:
Q: Well, how many songs are you doing?
A: We are doing a mash-up of a few, so quite a few.
Q: Are you planning on inviting any guest performers?
A: Yes, of course. Everybody does that. And I want to take advantage of that. I want to take advantage of everyone losing it for my special guest. And I have thought about this one for a while. There were a couple of names I tossed around and this one really stuck. I thought OK, it's time for this person to have their shine again.
Q: Is it someone who's on one of your records?
A: Hmmm. That's funny should ask. Let's just say I've been familiar with them before in a roundabout way. But I can't give you any more hints than that.
Q: Is there anything you can say about the staging of the show?
A: I think we're going to be using more of the field than anyone has. And I am doing never-before-done things as far as entrances and exits, although Diana Ross takes the cake for, you know, flying out via helicopter at the end of her show. And the costumes are all designed by my good friend, Jeremy Scott. I've done a lot of work with him through years and it's so nice bringing along someone that you've worked with for a long time for this huge moment.
Q: Do you think it's just hard word that's kept you on top?
A: No, no, no, no, no. It comes in the order of talent first, because if you don't have the talent,  you can have all the ambition and hard work and you're just literally chasing your tail. I think unfortunately there's quite a bit of that these days because everybody has this idea that they can be great. And yeah, they can be great if they've got the natural-born talent. Sure. But I think it's the talent, the ambition, the drive and the perspective. You've really got to bring a unique perspective because it's a crowded place, you know? It's got to be a little more unique than the average. And I just really think that is just about digging to the most vulnerable place inside yourself and being honest with yourself, sharing your honest truth. For me. I mean, there's all kind of different music. There's go-to-the-club music and then there's music that pulls at your heartstrings. And I want to be a combination of both. Because I can't cry all the time. I want to laugh. And I think I want to bring a lot of incredible joy to this Super Bowl performance. I want to play to my strengths, which I think are color, humor, sass and incredible joy.
