— -- The NFL confirmed Sunday that Katy Perry will perform at halftime during next year's Super Bowl.

The pop star, 30, is already working hard to prep for the big night.

"I've got some insane ideas this year," she said in a video promoting the performance. "This halftime show is gonna be crazy."

Here are five reasons Perry was the perfect choice for this year's performer:

1. Her costumes are always out of this world: On her Prism world tour, Perry has appeared in light-up costumes and more. With millions of eyes on her for this show, expect her to pull out all the stops.

2. Her sets don't disappoint either: Perry's shows are always larger than life, and that includes the props and sets. Last year, Bruno Mars delivered a killer performance, with flashing lights and fireworks. Expect this year's show to be even flashier.

3. She's promising animal involvement: In her promo video, Perry promised thousands of kittens and the appearance of a Pegasus. Unlikely, sure, but we wouldn't put it past to her involve animal imagery at the very least.
