Katy Perry performed during the
2015 Super Bowl halftime show
Sunday. The 30-year-old singer came out singing “Roar” while riding a
giant robotic tiger being pulled by puppeteers dressed in black. Her
halftime performance was definitely entertaining, belting out hit songs
like “Firework,” “I Kissed A Girl” and “Dark Horse” … but was she really
singing?Perry dished to
ET Online
prior to the Super Bowl she didn’t want her performance to feature that
much lip syncing. “I think a lot of it will be live,” she explained.
However, she did prerecord some vocals.
The curiosity surrounding Katy Perry’s show stemmed from anger over
the 2014 halftime performance from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Following
the game, bassist Flea revealed while the vocals were live, the band was
“pretending” to play their instruments.
“When we were asked by the NFL and Bruno to play our
song 'Give It
Away' at the Super Bowl, it was made clear to us that the vocals would
be live, but the bass, drums, and guitar would be prerecorded,” Flea
explained in a message
to fans. “I understand the NFL's stance on this, given they only have a
few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go
wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the
TV viewers. There was not any room for argument on this, the NFL does
not want to risk their show being botched by bad sound, period.”
