Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch would be so proud.

Katy Perry spoke with the media on Thursday to discuss her upcoming halftime performance at Super Bowl XLIX. There were all kinds of odd questions and requests, but this might have been the best exchange of the press conference.

After one question, Perry responded by channeling her inner Beast Mode, saying, "I'm just here so I don't get fined."

Perry also made the obligatory reference to Deflategate during the press conference:

This year's halftime show will feature Lenny Kravitz, too, but I'm guessing that a lot more people will be interested in Perry's performance.
