The singer also took to Twitter throughout the event to encourage her team and later, to celebrate her prediction when the Rebels won the game 23-17.

Perry, whose manager attended the University of Mississippi, told ESPN she has supported the Rebels for almost 10 years. Despite her predilection for the Mississippi team, the singer used her GameDay hosting gig to ask out Oklahoma Schooner Trevor Knight.

"The quarterback for Oklahoma we don't mind so I'm going to go with him," the singer said at one point. "Trevor Knight call me!"

After the pre show, Perry partied with friends and fans in what a appears to be a local dive bar, but not before starring in a video with the Ole Miss' cheerleading team.
