Missy Elliott’s surprise performance during Katy Perry’s Super Bowl XLIX halftime show not only led the legendary R&B performer to tears, some think she may have stolen the show from the pop star.
Saying Missy Elliott ‘stole’ the show may be an exaggeration because it was a truly great show all around, but it’s certain fans were thrilled to see Missy Elliott’s return to the stage.
Missy Elliott may not be all that familiar to the younger generation since she has been out of the spotlight for several years, but few can deny she killed it Sunday night singing three of Katy Perry’s songs.
Apparently, someone too young to know who the legendary rap artist is even tweeted that she was trying to be the next Nicki Minaj.
Twitter blew up during the half-time show, with many A-listers praising Missy Elliott‘s performance and it didn’t take long for her to trend worldwide, with many tweeting that they thought Missy “made” Katy Perry’s performance and the show.
