"The rumors are true. This year the SUPER BOWL goes GAGA!"
the musician said on Twitter. The NFL retweeted the message,
adding "Can't wait. Let's do this!"
Super Bowl LI is slated to be held in Houston, Texas on Feb. 5.
The NFL said this would be the second appearance for Lady Gaga
on the Super Bowl stage, opening last February's game with a
performance of the national anthem.
The Super Bowl is the most-watched event on U.S. television
drawing more than 100 million viewers and the most expensive TV
program for advertisers, who pay millions to secure 30-second
commercial spots.
Last year's half time show featured Beyonce, Coldplay and Bruno
Mars who performed a mélange of some of the artists' greatest
hits. Other past performers included Michael Jackson, Madonna
and The Black Eyed Peas.
Lady Gaga, known for frequent creative self-reinventions, is a
six-time Grammy Award winner and has also won a Golden Globe and
was nominated for an Academy Award.
