It's seen by many as the biggest gig of the year, so it's no surprise KATY PERRY is delighted she will be performing in the half time concert at the 2015 Super Bowl.

The pop star, behind hits including I Kissed A Girl, Firework and Dark Horse, said she "can't wait" for February 1, when the Super Bowl takes place.

She later tweeted that not long ago she was "playing guitar on the streets of Santa Barbara for maybe 20 bucks a day & an avocado" adding: "Wow, life!"

Past performers in the Super Bowl half time concert include Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jackson.

Perry added that she has already started testing out ideas. We can't wait!
