During Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show, all eyes weren’t exactly on Katy Perry, especially when R&B superstar Missy Elliott joined the show. It’s been over a decade since Elliott released new music, but that didn’t stop her from being the showstopper she is. During her three-minute set, she performed her popular hits “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It” and “Lose Control.”
It’s safe to say that the Virginia native is back.
During the performance, tweets from Kerry Washington, Busta Rhymes, Fantasia and Justin Timberlake were among those expressing being blown away by it:
