Lady Gaga confirmed that she will be performing at the 2017 Super Bowl half time show.
The performance will mark the second year in a row that the Super Bowl has featured a performance from the "Perfect Illusion" singer, who blew crowds away with a stunning rendition of the national anthem last year. The rumors are true. Last year, 114.4 million people tuned in for the Super Bowl, according to Sports Illustrated.
Shortly after announcing her Super Bowl Halftime debut, Gaga retweeted the NFL's promotional trailer for the 2017 sporting event which combines the music video for "Perfect Illusion" with footage from previous Super Bowl games, giving us a cheeky teaser of what's to come.
Over the summer, Adele was also asked to perform at the Super Bowl half time show next year but she declined the gig. As part of its promotion, she's landed arguably the most-watched television spot in the business, with hundreds of millions around the world tuning in every year to the Super Bowl. The Grammy winner's hits include "Poker Face", "Bad Romance", "Born This Way" and "Applause".
As Lehigh Valley Music has frequently argued, the Super Bowl halftime show isn't really about music. Super Bowl LI will be played February 5.
Fernandez boat not cited before fatal crash
Fernandez had invited his Marlins teammates for the doomed outing after the team's win against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Officials were said to be interviewing bar employees and looking into surveillance video to see if they had been drinking.
Lady Gaga's name has been linked to the headlining slot for weeks now, but the National Football League profusely denied the claims when they first surfaced, stating that they were in contact with numerous artists and no agreement had been made.
She said: "This is one of the highest honours of my career".
Leading up to Super Bowl LI, fans may visit Pepsi.com for behind the scenes looks into Lady Gaga's journey to the Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show and a chance to win sideline passes to see her perform live at NRG Stadium in Houston. In our 2010 review, we said, "Her best songs of the night by far were ones that stripped away most of [the spectacle]". Fox will be broadcasting Super Bowl LI on February 5, 2017.
Gaga took to Twitter on Thursday (29Sep16) and posted a message attached to an advertisement for her much-anticipated performance.
