Has anyone seen if any pic is available from commons or from Flickr? I don't expect pics on Madonna level of resolution, but atleast something like Beyonce, maybe an aerial view or something. — Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 08:52, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
I found three images on Flickr under the right license tag for usage here, not the best in quality, but still useable. Might need some cropping to make them look better.

The animal Katy Perry was astride at the beginning of the performance was a Lion, not a Tiger as the article incorrectly indicated. There are several news articles referring to it as a Tiger, and several referring to it as a Lion. However, here's an article where the company who built the animal are quoted indicating that it's a Lion. Additionally, there are more and better photos where you can clearly see that it's a Lion. http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2015/02/super_bowl_audience_focuses_on.html 208.40.242.45 ( talk) 19:52, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Surely "Left Shark" is deserving of its own page now...notability is easy to establish now that there are law suits and opinion pieces about it. Seems to be part of the internet lexicon now. (Pretty amusing) Bdushaw ( talk) 00:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
I would add an image of Missy to the article, too, but there isn't really a good one of her at Wikimedia Commons, unfortunately... I'll see if there isn't one on Flickr to use. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 05:17, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Is Left Shark necessary? Either way, I invite readers to come visit this article and help determine its future, either by improving or discussing its relevance. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 20:44, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
The claim that this was the most-watched halftime show in Super Bowl history falls apart when you see that the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show claims that Michael Jackson's show was seen by 133.4 million. Is there a particular reason why this accomplishment has been seemingly removed from various reliable sources claiming Katy Perry's to have been the top halftime show?
