Katy Perry claims that the six months before her Super Bowl performance saw her have "no life".

Giving a 12-minute show during the half-time interval at the NFL game, Katy had to give a lot of time to preperation ahead of the event.
Speaking to America's ELLE magazine, she explained: "We love this opportunity, but once you decide you're gonna do the Super Bowl, you're gonna have no f***ing life for six months."
Admitting that she was nervous to take to the field for the show alongside Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz, she dreaded reading reviews afterwards.
"It is the biggest thing. Anyone that's ever done it has been scared s**tless. You stay off the Internet for the five days afterward."
As well as lots of rehearsing, Katy found preperations tough because she couldn't take full control of absolutely everything.
"In my show, I am boss daddy. I am boss mommy. They call me 'Boss'.
"Everything goes through my eyes; I call all the shots, 100 percent of it.
"With the NFL, I have to be accountable to several levels of red tape. There are many committees I have to go through for my costumes, the budgets of my show, every interview -- everything, I have to report to somebody. So I am no longer the boss; I have to relinquish that control."
