Katy Perry Plans âIntentionalâ Wardrobe Malfunction at Super Bowl Halftime Show
During a break from her rehearsal for the upcomingÂ Super Bowl halftime show, the Pepsi-pitching pop princess Katy Perry met with members of the media. Perry answered a variety of questions, involving her set list, possible hair color, and guest musicians. But it was her answers surrounding what she would be â or possibly not be â wearing during the performance that tantalized the masses.âFirst of all, Iâm Hyped For Halftime,â cited Perry, referencing her teasing Super Bowl promotional commercials. âWhile I wonât say what or who Iâll be wearing, you can plan on one thing. Iâm gonna have my own wardrobe malfunctionâ¦but will it be a malfunction? Itâll put Janet Jackson to shame, and I can guarantee it will be more than just my belly button. I sure hope youâll be watching.âTwitter users ran rampant with speculationÂ if Perry was planning on showing significant skin for the show, or if it was a veiled jab at Taylor Swift, whom Perry has been at odds with over singer John Mayer. More Twitter users ruminated if Perry would be incorporating some type of burlesque act during one of her songs, possibly during a performance of her first big hit, âI Kissed a Girl.âMost comments made by males on social mediaÂ were nearly unanimous in approval of the possibility of Perry losing part of her clothing, however, there was a faction of Twitter users condemning Perry for allowing herself to be objectified for entertainment sake. Members of various religious groups were quick to call blasphemy, and claimed Perry was âall that was wrongâ with the moral fabric of America.Religious and parents groups are reportedly asking the FCC to intervene and ban the halftime show as too risquÃ© for the youth of America.âThe last thing our sons and daughters need to see is a possible, half-naked, purple-haired singer corrupting our values. We as a faith need to unite and stop her before millions are subjected,â said Abigail Waters, a representative of the Way of Our Most Holy Church in Alabama. âThese children are tuning in to see a football game. A morally sound American tradition filled with camaraderie, anger, tackles, hard-hits, concussions, and falls, failures, cheating, and brain injuries. It should not be about sex or women when there is a sport being played.ââI guess youâll have to tune in on Sunday, but letâs say youâll be seeing more of me than you thought,â giggled the Roar singer. She then winked, blew a kiss, and walked away.
