Gaga is no stranger to football performances. Last year, she opened up the popular game with the National Anthem. Coldplay, with special guests Bruno Mars and Beyonce, lit up Levis Stadium at Super Bowl 50 earlier this year.
Super Bowl 51 will take place February 5, 2017, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. You’ll be able to watch the show live on FOX.
It might be five months away, but we are already wondering if Lady Gaga has any special guests planned for that day! What song do you hope she will perform? Let us know by Tweeting us @CelebMix
