The 30-year-old singer was first rumored for the Super Bowl halftime show back in August when The Wall Street Journal revealed Perry, Coldplay and Rihanna were among finalists for the high-profile job. At the time, it was rumored that the NFL had wanted artists to pay a portion of their post-halftime show income to the league as compensation for being picked. Perry, however, said she wouldn't participate in that pay-for-play scheme. "I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl," Perry said on ESPN back in October.
