An Investigation Into Katy Perry's Wii Remote Wrist Strap

Feb 2 2015 - 11:40am

A very majestic Katy Perry [1] roared her way through the Super Bowl [2] on Sunday night, thanks in part to a little safety feature that everyone who's ever played with a Nintendo Wii will recognize. During "Firework," Katy was hoisted up into the dome via a shooting star [3] and her microphone was literally secured to her wrist with a Wii Remote strap. Need further proof? Let's investigate.

It's TOTALLY the same thing. Katy might be the only person ever to have worn that wrist strap in earnest. If you ever find yourself singing into a glitter mic during the finale of your halftime performance, look no further than the strings on your Nintendo nunchakus.
