GLENDALE, Ariz., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Missy Elliott will reportedly perform with Katy Perry at Super Bowl XLIX.

Sources confirmed to Us Weekly the 43-year-old rapper will take the stage with the 30-year-old singer at halftime. Elliott previously collaborated with Perry on the pop star's remix for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)."

Perry teased her secret guest during a media appearance Thursday. The singer declared the set will be "a throwback of sorts" and "a real female fun night," and said she thinks "jaws will drop and faces will melt" when the surprise performer takes the stage.

Perry was temporarily joined by her dog Butters at the press conference, who quickly ran off stage. The star posted a photo with the pup last week on Instagram to promote Animal Planet's annual Puppy Bowl television special.
