Katy Perry Hits on College QB on ESPN’s 'College GameDay'
Katy Perry is known for her over-the-top performances, and as ESPN's College GameDay celebrity picker, she didn't disappoint.
Clad in a hot pink, fuzzy football jersey, the pop singer appeared on the college football pregame show Saturday as No. 3 Alabama faced off against No. 11 Ole Miss. She admitted she had never attended a college game before and didn’t know much about sports (she was on the show because her manager and mentor are Ole Miss alumni). However, she kept everyone entertained with her kooky antics.
Perry made a crass joke about South Carolina’s gamecock mascot and even hurled corndogs at the camera, implying that LSU fans smelled like them.

Her bold moves didn't end there: She hit on Oklahoma’s 20-year-old quarterback Trevor Knight. She said she picked Oklahoma to beat TCU “based on looks” and held a heart-shaped photo of Knight, adding, “Trevor, call me!”
(This isn't the first time she has publicly hit on a hunky athlete: At a 2012 pre-Super Bowl concert, she dedicated her cheeky song “Peacock” to Tim Tebow. Later, Tebow denied any romance, telling the press: "No, me and Katy Perry don't have a thing, but she's a very good artist. I'm single.")
Perry also revealed she's in talks to perform at the Super Bowl, but insisted, "I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play." The line was in reference to a Wall Street Journal report that said the NFL asked Perry, Coldplay, and Rihanna if they'd be open to handing over a percentage of their future tour earnings for the honor of performing at the big game in February.
