Katy Perry used a giant tiger, Lenny Kravitz and backing dancers dressed as sharks to wow the crowds with her Super Bowl half-time performance.
The US singer rattled through a medley of hits during a 12-minute concert that also included a guest appearance from rapper Missy Elliott.
It ended with Perry singing Firework as actual pyrotechnics exploded above her.
According to The Guardian, the result was a “high-octane show [as] notable for its surreal camp as for its tunes”.
The New York Times said she “held her own, navigating a handful of her smashes and three wardrobe changes in a performance that resisted bad mood”.
“Even if you weren’t a fan of Perry’s music, you had to be impressed with her spectacle,” agreed USA Today.
