Katy Perry said her special musical guest during the Super Bowl's halftime show would make jaws drop. It looks like we know who it will be. 

Grammy winner Missy Elliott will join Perry when she takes stage on Sunday, according to the AP. Although the rapper hasn't released an album since 2005, she featured on a remix of Perry's 2011 song, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" The NFL hasn't confirmed Elliott's involvement.

"I have to keep some surprises," said Perry during her news conference on Thursday. “This guest, though, I thought long and hard about it. I wanted to bring someone back, a throwback of sorts."

Lenny Kravitz will also make an appearance during the halftime show.

Super Bowl XLIX is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
