MTV VMAs: Katy Perry's Finale 'Roar' Performance Is a Knock Out
Katy Perry was one ferocious feline during the first live performance of her new hit single, "Roar."
Before the actual performance, the songstress was shown covered in a red, silk Boxer's robe with the word "Lioness" emblazoned on the back, fighting her way to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Girls actress -- and personal friend -- Allison Williams introduced the the live rendition of the pop song. Once on the boxing-ring inspired stage, Perry was seen wearing a tiger-striped sports bra with metallic gold boxing shoes and bedazzled gloves, all of which thematically corresponded to the song's message of personal empowerment.
The performance also saw the "Last Friday Night" singer jumping rope, showing off some Muhammad Ali-inspired dance moves and then triumphantly brandishing a championship Boxer's belt, while flanked by two bikini-clad ring girls, holding sings that read "Game Over."
In the second week of it's release, "Roar" rocketed from No. 85 to No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100, only second to the Robin Thicke's song of the summer, "Blurred Lines."
During the VMAs, fans had the opportunity to vote for which Perry single would be released before the Prism album drops on Aug 22. At the end of the show, it was announced that the song "Dark Horse" was the big winner.
From a controversial performance by Cyrus to an unforgettable 'N Sync reunion, Perry gave one "last punch" to end the 2013 MTV VMAs in Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

Katy Perry Plays Boxer in Performance of "Roar" Under the Brooklyn Bridge at MTV VMAs
Katy Perry's first performance of "Roar" was a knockout! The 27-year-old pop superstar closed out the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City with a big, showstopping rendition of her hit single on Sunday, Aug. 25 -- and the crowd, well, roared.
With the city's iconic Brooklyn Bridge towering behind her, Perry took the stage -- made to look like a boxing ring -- in a tiger-print sports bra and silk boxing shorts. She then proceeded to sing "Roar," the debut single off her upcoming third album Prism, while dancing all over the set. At one point, she picked up a jumprope and did a few impressive hops before tossing the prop into the mass of screaming fans.

Katy Perry VMA Performance Of 'Roar' Rocks MTV
Katy Perry rocked Brooklyn on Sunday night, closing out the MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of her new single, "Roar."
Perry's VMA performance marked the first time the 28-year-old played "Roar" in front of a live audience. She was in a boxing ring and wore a tiger print sports bra.
Perry performed the song at Brooklyn Bridge Park, and not inside the borough's Barclays Center, where the MTV VMAs were held. MTV teased that Perry would sing from an "undisclosed location" in Brooklyn prior to the event.

Exactly. Marina who?
Even Katy said her new look was inspired by 90's grunge, the movie Empire Records, etc

Katy Perry Makes Brooklyn 'Roar' With Epic VMA Finale
PRISM singer brings 2013 Video Music Awards to an epic close with a fierce performance of 'Roar.'
"Rough, tough and ready to rumble" is right. Katy Perry delivered an uproar-worthy rendition of her hit single "Roar" underneath the Brooklyn Bridge in an epic closing performance to this year's Video Music Awards.
"I like to have the last word," Perry told MTV News' Christina Garibaldi earlier Sunday of having the honor of closing out the show.
And it was one heck of a last word.
Perry rode into New York's Brooklyn Bridge Park in the back of a golden semitruck — yes, the one that takes up the better part of a city block and has her name, album title and release date painted on the side — wearing a maroon silk boxing robe with "LIONNESS" splashed across the back.
Of course, the whole ensemble was topped off with cornrows and the gold-plated microphone — brass knuckles included— that Perry unveiled on Instagram this week. And, since we all know that no boxing workout is complete without a little rope-skipping, there was a jump-roping interlude. Never one to disappoint fans, Perry brought ring girls as well, clad in skimpy maroon bikinis and holding up "Game Over" signs to signal the end of another VMA year.
Before the show, Perry told MTV News that she wasn't shy about showing a more fierce side of herself now. Her fans, she said, had grown up as much as she had in the three years since the candy-coated "Teenage Dream" era.
"They're like, 'eww, Katy, cotton candy, gross.'" she said. "I can't do that anymore."
Of "Roar," she explained that that foe she was facing in the performance's boxing ring may as well have been herself.
"It's a song about standing up for yourself, who can be the biggest bully in the equation -- yourself...[It] can get in your way," she said. "It's a song about speaking up for yourself and having the strength to do that."

I can't at MTV cutting away to a hella long audience shot right as the second chorus begins... like, I wanted to see her dancing 
Also, I wish she'd done more during the bridge than jump rope... and that it had been longer. The transition from that electric guitar back to her "roar" was weird.
