( CNN ) -- Get ready to hear that voice , hear that sound -- like thunder gon na shake the ground . Confirming rumors that had been around at least since last month , the NFL said Sunday that Katy Perry will headline the next Super Bowl halftime show . Following in the show-stopping dance steps of Bruno Mars from this year might be a tall order . But Perry says she 's already planning her own fireworks . `` I 've got some insane ideas this year , '' she said in a video posted soon after the announcement . `` What if we covered the stadium with glitter ? `` But the glitter ... was edible . '' Last month , New York Post 's Page Six and Billboard reported that Perry was preparing to shine at Super Bowl XLIX , set for February 1 in Glendale , Arizona . It 's not hard to see why the NFL would want to pursue Perry . Here are three reasons why we think she 'll kill it . 1 . She 's got energetic , exuberant pop . Katy Perry 's music is essentially the stuff Super Bowl halftime dreams are made of . Much of her catalog is high-energy , danceable pop that 's just cheeky enough to be entertaining without losing a sponsorship . And she has a backlog of hits to choose from : There 's `` Birthday '' and `` Roar '' from her 2013 release `` Prism , '' plus older but still-in-rotation tracks like `` Firework , '' `` Peacock , '' `` California Gurls '' and `` I Kissed A Girl . '' 2 . Everyone from your grandma to your 3-year-old nephew knows her music . In 2011 , Katy Perry tied with Michael Jackson -- not bad company -- with five No . 1 singles from the same album . You do n't accomplish that without some serious fan power , young and old . And when we say young , we mean young : `` Dark Horse '' has been known to soothe at least one baby . 3 . She gives a show-stopping performance . One of the things critics took away from Perry 's 2012 concert documentary , `` Part of Me , '' is just how much work goes into a Perry performance . From the costumes to the set pieces , Perry creates her own whimsical wonderland -- as anyone who 's seen one of her videos can attest . We can only imagine the kind of creation that would accompany a Super Bowl halftime show . Katy Perry : 'Most rewarded digital act ' beats Rihanna , Taylor Swift by millions .
Katy Perry will headline the next Super Bowl halftime show . Perry says she 's already got her own show . It 's not hard to imagine why she would be a great selection for the show .
