We heard her roar.
00:02
And fireworks lit the sky.
00:06
But we'll give you one guess at which part cemented Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show into our minds forever.
00:13
We take you to that moment in this week's Pop Culture Rewind.
00:17
It was Super Bowl XLIX, and while the Patriots were battling the Seahawks, Katy Perry was on top of her game.
00:28
For her Pepsi halftime show, she arrived in a big way on a tiger and ran through all her hits like "I Kissed a Girl" with Lenny Kravitz
00:35
and "California Girls."
00:39
And she even invited Missy Elliott, who also went through her epic catalog.
00:46
But it was during "Teenage Dream" when one of her two backup dancing Sharks lived his best life.
00:54
So much so, everybody named him Left Shark and the memes and Halloween costumes were born.
00:59
The guy behind the Shark later said he just forgot the choreo. Iconic.
01:04
We'll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
