UPDATE (Sunday, 8:46 p.m. ET): If you missed the Lady Gaga's halftime show during Super Bowl LI, things got wild -- SHE JUMPED OFF THE ROOF. You can catch up on all the details of her wild show by clicking here. You can also check out the crazy Twitter reactions by clicking here.)
Here's the original story.
HOUSTON -- The Super Bowl is going Gaga.
Super Bowl LI is getting a full dose of Lady Gaga after the pop star crushed the national anthem at last year's big game. That's fantastic news if you're a Lady Gaga fan or a football fan who was disappointed that her appearance at last year's Super Bowl was so brief.
Country star Luke Bryan will sing the national anthem at this year's Super Bowl, while Gaga will take to the world's biggest stage for the halftime show, and since no one likes to do the Super Bowl halftime show alone, Gaga has invited Tony Bennett to join her.
That's right, the 90-year-old crooner will be singing at the Super Bowl this year.
There was also a rumor that Beyonce might join Gaga for the halftime show since the Super Bowl is being played in Queen Bey's hometown of Houston, however, Gaga shot that rumor down on Thursday.
"She's always very inspiring and gives great advice, she's a very focused and genuine performer," Gaga said.
Gaga also added that she might take a few cues from Beyonce, but that the singer won't be on stage with her.
"I'm going to be taking the spirit of many performers with me on that stage when I go up there," Gaga said. "I'm grateful to have wonderful women in this business that are supportive of me."
The last time the Super Bowl was in Houston, the words "wardrobe malfunction" entered the national lexicon after Janet Jackson's breast was exposed during the show. Gaga said that's not going to happen on Sunday.
One thing Gaga didn't touch on is whether or not there will be drones flying around during her show. CNN has reported that Gaga is going to have "hundreds of lit-up drones" flying around the stadium for her show. The wild thing about that is that Gaga reportedly had to get FAA approval before she was allowed to move forward with her idea.
Anyway, the Super Bowl show is a big deal for Gaga, because apparently, the 30-year-old singer has been waiting 26 years to sing at halftime of the Super Bowl.
"I've been planning this since I was 4, so I know exactly what I'm going to do," Gaga said recently. "For me, it's all about giving to the fans and bringing people together that wouldn't normally come together."
There have been some wild halftime shows over the past few years -- um, everybody remembers Katy Perry, right -- but Gaga seems determined to top them all when she takes the stage at halftime of the Feb. 5 game between the Patriots and the Falcons.
"The thing is, is it's such a big world stage in terms of how many people see it and it's been done so many times," Gaga said. "I think the challenge is to look at it and say, 'What can I do differently, how can I elevate certain little things here and there and also make it about the music?'"
Apparently, Gaga is literally going to try and elevate things. One report has suggested that Gaga may attempt to do part of the show from the roof at NRG Stadium. There's also a chance that Donald Trump's name could be mentioned. If his name does come up, it won't be a compliment, because Gaga is not a Trump fan.
Gaga didn't confirm or deny either report during her pre-show press conference that was held on Feb. 2.
Whatever happens in the show, you can probably expect an A+ performance from Gaga's dancers because they've spent hours rehearsing inside of a giant tent that's set up in Gaga's backyard. If you get dizzy easily, don't watch the video below of the giant tent, because it's sideways and it's confusing.
Finally, here's a preview of the show.
Pepsi is the official sponsor of the halftime show, so of course, they've been documenting Gaga's entire rehearsal process.
