Katy Perry‘s Super Bowl Halftime performance may have divided opinion, but it’s achieved a feat that is undeniable.
Details below…
The much-anticipated ratings are in and it’s been revealed that the 13 minute spectacle commanded a whopping audience of 118.5 million.
That’s 3 million+ viewers more than last year’s halftime featuring Bruno Mars (115.3 million), and sees the showing – which featured Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz – become the most-watched Super Bowl halftime featuring entertainment ever (dating back to 1991).
It’s vital to add that the actual game, between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, was the most watched Super Bowl (and US TV telecast) ever – attracting total viewership of 114.4 million. Historically, the Halftime show segment peaks slightly higher due to added viewership from those not watching the match. A trend that has occurred year-on-year for the last decade.
Viewed this way, it’s arguable that Katy’s feat is less to do with her and instead due to the bigger number of folk tuning in to the game.
Whatever the case, congrats are in order.
She beat Beyoncé and Madonna kii 😆 No grammys yet she is slaying all these basic pop bishes 😆
She’s still s*** couldn’t even produce the studio vocals live. Missy stole the show I felt like a plastic bag after Missy went
Missy did not steal the show. She was on there for less than 2 minutes. Get the f*** out of here.
She was turd what’s all the plastic ball stuff about YAWN will be the highlight of her career she can’t go round singing I Kissed A Girl when she’s pishing 40 or singing Roar. Missy stole her thunder who’s the one climbing ITunes it’s Missy #RECIEPTS
Oh please that has nothing to do with her, and everything to do with the teams playing. “Basic pop b******”? She’s the queen of the basics
The behives are jumping off a cliff right now
DID YOU JUST SAY THAT MADONNA IS A BASIC B****?ARE YOU SERIOUS?YOU MUST BE KIDDING RIGHT?
She can’t sale albums or sell out a stadium she is still a flop
Lmao!! Not this coming from a barb!! Teenage Dream outsold Nicki’s short lived career. That silicon flop you stan for can’t sell singles, albums, sell out stadiums or even arenas. The b*tch is utterly useless.
DRAG IT!!!!! These barfz are delusional!
Views really don’t mean anything tbh
Actually, they do. If thinking that way helps you sleep better, then so be it. Lmao.
Views aren’t gonna make her performance stellar. They really aren’t. It’s all about the performance and how much work and execution you put in it. Prince, MJ, Beyoncé, Janet, Madonna and maybe Bruno all have memorable performances because of the work they put in, and by work I’m not talking about Disney-themed production s***, I’m talking about the singing, the choreo and the energy. Views, in my opinion, are nothing. Absolute bollocks.
Beyonce’s is the most streamed… And it’s not surprising people would want to see how big of a production she’d need to hide her mediocre talent…
No one cares honey. SLAYty wins 😉
No…
TBH all these haters are making excuses she won fair & square with less promo
and LOL @ the lone LilKum san riding Katy’s coattails
girl kim never even SEEN the superbowl stage ‘cept behind bars
Yes! And numbers mean everything, FYI. The actual ratings. You tried, but failed. But you still tried. Bless your heart
LMAO WHEN WILL BEYONCE
Sam your back handed compliment was so unnecessary and definitely not needed. Whether you like Katy or not just give congratulations and move on. I’m I the biggest Katy supporter not by any means but I feel she did her job and obviously the rest of the world wanted to see her in action as her halftime performance is in the record books as the most watched ever.
Samantha is pressed because Katy drew more viewers than Beyonce and that his other fav Flopga will never. Let him seethe and make excuses though.
It wasn’t a back hand comment you, dolt. Do you honestly think 115 mil people tuned in to see Katy Perry? If 115 mil people tuned in to see Katy Perry, why is she still struggling to sell 2 mil albums? You do the math. Some of yall have issues with dissecting reality from fiction.
B**** f*** off not when her tour was the highest grossing by a female and her album is reaching 4 mill ww why cant you clowns just congratulate instead of typing such negative things
That’s not being NEGATIVE you C U N T! It’s stating facts.
Then provide some evidence to back up your claims otherwise stop typing and show your fingers where the sun dont shine
As if 115M tuned in for Katy Berry yawn best thing was Missy n the tin tiger
B****, no one even knew that Missy was going to be there until that moment. No was was checking for her…and they still aren’t. She’s only excelling on iTunes because everyone has her CD singles and now they want to replace w/ digital. After the next 5 minutes, she will be back where she was. And I actually love Missy, but don’t you dare discredit Katy, you POS. She deserved it.
Queen of pop, tbh!
People say Beyoncé had the best Superbowl performance yet the ratings don’t agree with that statement lol at the end of the day numbers don’t lie Katy did her things with out having to resort to dancing like a cheap s*** in a leotard and still managed to come out on top 😆 haters can seethe all they want
Soooo Katy’s SB ratings ONLY topped Beyonce’s???
You’re so ignorant. No one cared for the teams that played the year BEYONCE performed that’s why ratings were slightly low. The Patriots VS Seahawks was one of the most anticipated Super Bowls ever! But I wouldn’t expect you “GIRLS” to understand that since the only sport you’re good at is bad mouthing BeyonCe and relentlessly keeping count of her rare shortcomings. Do you honestly believe 115 mil people tuned in to see Katy Perry? Those are MEN! Men don’t listen to KATY PERRY! Nor do they listen to Beyonce or Madonna. During her performance, most guys just talked and discussed the game. Their focus wasn’t some cheesy pop carny. Be real. Use logic. Super Bowl isn’t about the half time show… It’s the GAME!
Show me your receipts otherwise stfu and save them long ass texts for somebody that actually has a f*** left to give.
Now kindly exit to the left
Thank you! The Patriots vs. The Seahawks has been one of the most anticipated games in SB HISTORY. You aren’t a sports fan Katy Kat…So I wouldn’t expect you to understand.
non of them carried for beyonce either
since it’s getting more famous even outside of the us this is not really a suprise. i doubt that the gp cared too much that she performed
Okay,this to me seems like there is a gradual increase in viewers per year? Also the fact that this superbowl match was the most watched kinda makes sense she pulled those numbers! With all that said, thank you Katy for an animated, yet very enjoyable and entertaining performance, the highlights for me were Missy and Katy singing firework! She can really sing that song, Firework is to Katy what diamonds is to rihanna.
I don’t understand why people are hating on Katy she did her thing and slayed just congratulate and move on jeez
It was an ok performance. Without Missy it wouldn’t be this talked about.

So I guess you’re just gonna omit the fact that it beat madonna and beyonce too? If Rihanna had performed 2 decades prior you would have still brought up the fact that Katy beat her numbers as well. Talk about biased journalism.
This only shows that the ratings for the superbowl increases every year. Doesn’t really have much to do with the performer. The same thing was said last year when Bruno performed.
Lol not Dykesus going around disliking people’s comments because they are praising Katy lol the s*** must be salty at the fact that she is no longer perched up there as the top commentator
people just can’t give props, they must be negative and hate. I moderately like Katy and the performance was decent for her standards. The viewings were high because IT WAS A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SUPERBOWL and it just so happened more of America wanted to see the Seahawks vs Patriots. Fàggots and absent minded teens are going to be going back and forth on social media about this like it was a concert or some s***. No dummies.. It was a football game w/majority a straight audience. The viewers are much more dictated by the actual game then the halftime show.
BIIIIITTTTCCCCHHHHH! I knew you were the “Realest”! Something about your shade was familiar. lmaooo You better expose yourself
Still love ya tho lmaooo. Know I had to be messy
Expose myself for what? I changed my name cause some b**** keeps sporadically using my SHÎT (username) and I don’t like that. I would get an avatar but I honestly DONT know how to do it. You can’t expose something that wasn’t hidden mother (PellePelle) ..
U can show me how to get that avatar ish tho.. But not after you show me your new routine tho girl, I need that
http://youtu.be/6zPU95PBiX8
Cough you said it all I saw the show I like Kathy but hatters will say anything to to put bey down you can’t comp them at all
This S H I T is tired! Viewers increase every year. more and more people watch the whole show every year. Also it wasn´t that known outside the US until Janet´s tit decided to show. The event is more popular every year. Get over it. Nothing to do with Katy Perry.
Hers has been the weakest half time of the last 4 years as the reviews and the lack of a big boost in her singles sales show.
Aww, you seem upset! Katy’s single sales have had the weakest boost because she has sold more singles then ANY of her predecessors. All the songs she performed sold over 5 million in the US. By now, everyone who wanted them has already purchased them. Continue to seethe and wallow in your bitterness though.
You better drag that old man sis
Congrats to Katy! She should be sending Missy a Thank You basket right about now.
Fawk a thank you basket, Buy Missy a new house, Yacht, or vehicle!
LOL
congrats Katy and please u guys should leave Madonna outta this!!! then Madonna was the highest and her halftime was bigger than the sports too! same with Bruno !!! and I’m sure the next if Taylor swift will definitely slay her rating too!! give probs to Madge for being the first to break those records and it’ll still be recorded that magde was the first to reach that epic goals!! no words for Beyonce thou!! I love her still, and congratulation to Katy ft learny or whatever and Missy Elliot! and I hope more good things come their way!!! it still doesn’t have what Beyonce had and thats “CRITICAL ACCLAIM”!! stop being shady Sam and at least give her, her probs your logic of the viewers not seeing her but the game is still applicable to madge, Beyonce and Bruno too!!! its something to celebrate for!
all thanks to Missy Elliott. Ciara should have came out and performed Lose Control, and then perfor 1, 2 Step and then finish off with Get Up, and then pass it to Katy! That would have been epic!
Hahahaha, so the past two and Madonna all had higher ratings than the Roach Queen. Lol, they can go sit with the barbs and C squad.
Ummm shouldnt you be the one having a few seats with the C-Squad??? Given the fact that Pon De Forehead has never had an opportunity to even grace the stage…
Wait, wasn’t between Katy and Rihanna to do the show?
Like I said, Your fave HAS YET to grace the stage.
But where is ‘i bet’ ?

Filthy Aaliyah stans be so bitter!
I think a good chunk of that was actually to see Lenny Kravits & an even bigger chunk to see Missy Elliot (not including those who were watching the actual game & not the show or commercials).
I was into the game, but I only stayed tuned in to the half-time show to see Missy Elliot & Lenny Kravitz. Katy Perry was a tad boring, compared to previous show-videos I’ve seen.
Lmao!! Wasn’t Lenny performing for a half empty arena with Keri Hilson a month ago? No one was checking for him. Missy hasn’t been relevant in about a decade tbh. That’s why her protege has gone nowhere just like those singles she released a few years ago. Katy was the main attraction regardless of hard pressed people want to give props to Missy.
STFU. You mad because LITERALLY every news headline is talking about how Missy overshadowed Katy?!?!? Get the fck outta here.
This is awesome for her. She was amazing. She sung very damn good when she did. Katy & Bruno had the best performances recently as a whole, everything included. Madonna did her thing too.. People are such haters. Sam is really because her numbers are higher than Beyonce’s. But this is silly crap. Y’all make so much about nothing. By the way she does sell albums, her recent album has sold about one point six milli in the US which is very good in this musical landscape. She is holding her own. Do your thang KP..
Mad*
Lol not Dykesus going around disliking people’s comments because they are praising Katy lol <<<< UMMM well that's what they're there for… And you used "lol" twice…
Bye b****! Just log out your phone/computer you are starting to expose your stupidity
http://youtu.be/1-5REZgf0Wk
WOOOOO SING B****!!!
Beyonce fans were bragging about the amount of viewers she pulled in also..
This shows that beyonce is a overrated stripper. She her records are easy to break. #weaklink.
Goes to show the advantage of a white woman. Katy couldn’t hold her own to Missy a rapper we haven’t seen in years let alone touch Beyonce or dare Janet. Like I said popularity don’t replace talent.
You know that is so right Blacksister
Why can’t she just have her props? Sam, you guys didn’t say this about Beyoncé, Bruno, or Madonna. & if the viewership went up during halftime that clearly means that ppl tuned in to watch her and that those who were already watching the channel stayed.
Lol I didn’t view the Super Bowl I actually watched many shows on my Dvr so it must have past me by….carry on folks!!
No we patiently wait to hear “the award for album of the year goes to Sam Smith”
Even though the predictions say otherwise….
The shark on the left had no idea what it was doing
http://t.co/lRaTHgmYBJ
So that is more than their overhyped Diva Beyonce LMAO….Hey Sam, how does that egg on your face taste LMAO. She did it with less hype…..sometimes less is more LMAO.
‘
No beef with Beyonce but this is hilarious, all of the sudden the hive have realized their fav….Imma stop it right there LMAO
Congrats Missy!
–
I mean, Missy & Katy
She doesn’t sell album, or singles but all you biches much watch and her crap cause she pulls in numbers and has 6 #1 songs on billboard…
But Katy Payola does sell albums, check your receipts again babe
Who cares i need everyone to go to itunes and buy ‘i bet’ now I don’t want her to fail this time
Ciara – I Bet (Audio):
http://youtu.be/mrOP-U_Y52o
She will ALWAYS fail!!! F****** flopppp
Lmao, the bitterness that Katy’s success has some people feeling is so real. Regardless of the overall ratings increasing, the fact remains the half time show was the peak of the ratings, clearly showing that people were interested in the performance the most. You can try to credit Lenny and Missy all you want but recent receipts from all three artist will clearly show you who the GP is checking for. Why do some people find it hard to accept that Katy Perry is the biggest pop star in music today? The proof is in her album sales, single sales, and tour receipts. She is winning.
Speak on it sis! The hive and navy been showing their jealous asses lately. Katy is slaying in E V E R Y department and they madddd!!!
http://bit.ly/1x0eSeP !!!!!!!!
We don’t have to shade each other… just give Katy her congratulations and keep it moving.
America’s childrens must have mistaken her show with Nickelodeon.
No, more along the lines of Radio Disney
And next year’s halftime show will have higher ratings than this year. Nothing new to see or brag about here, folks, superbowl ratings always go higher with each passing year. Call me when Basic Perry can sell 118 million albums. Notice I said albums, not singles.
Thats cute for Katy but come on now ratings are increasing yearly and its clearly not because of the performer. Katy had more views than MJ, Madonna, Beyonce and many others doesn’t mean much.
So if ratings kept on increasing then why did Beyonce fans brag about her numbers when she performed? Lol sure….
Because like Katy fans, they are FANS and will brag. DUH!
Nah man.. This is crap. America is ugly for this. She was pure crap to be honest.. She can’t sing. If she wins a Grammy this year.. It won’t be because “she tried” it’ll be because of her PBS Theme of a super bowl halftime show.
Literally every year viewership increases for the Super Bowl but yAs draG Beysic!!11
God, you f*** are so blindsided.
Actually, they don’t increase each year. Again, it said since 1991. If that were the case, the numbers would be much higher by now, you incompetent piece of s***.
-SMH- guess those Twitter followers are real…
At the end of the day it really comes down to what teams are playing lol she couldn’t have pulled in those numbers on a different platform
B!tches, no one even knew that Missy was going to be there until the last moment. No was was checking for her…and they still aren’t. She’s only excelling on iTunes right bow because everyone who had her physical CD singles are now wanting to replace them w/ digital. After the next 5 minutes, she will be back where she was. And I actually love Missy, but don’t you dare discredit Katy, you pieces of shits. She deserved it.
She only got as many rating as she did because Beyoncé made it a big commodity and also raising the bar well above what a lot of people cannot reach and! I’m pretty sure Katy pulled out every trick in the book !! To try and get close to beyonces performance it was still far away from what bey bring to the table !! it still hasn’t been reached !! No one will probably ever have as much physical stability and control over vocals as Beyoncé Katy did her thing though !!
