www.billboard.com/biz/articles/7510201/lady-gaga-in-talks-to-play-super-bowl-halftime-show-sourcesLady Gaga In Talks to Play Super Bowl Halftime Show: SourcesBy Shirley Halperin | September 13, 2016 1:00 PM EDT Lady Gaga is inching closer to one of the biggest gigs on the planet: performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2017. Sources tell Billboard that Gaga is in talks for the 51st annual football showdown, scheduled for Feb. 5, 2017 at NRG Stadium in Houston. One of the main reasons for why the NFL is said to be hot on the singer was her performance of the National Anthem at the 2016 Super Bowl. That year, Coldplay -- with guests Beyonce and Bruno Mars -- shared the halftime stage to mixed reviews. "We have had conversations with several fantastic artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, at this point we do not have a final decision," an NFL rep told Billboard when asked about Gaga. "Weβre happy there is so much excitement about the show." Gaga is coming off of several high-profile appearances in recent years, including a 2015 performance at the Academy Awards which was followed by an Oscar nomination the next year for "'Til It Happens to You" for best original song (written for the documentary The Hunting Ground). Gaga also won a Golden Globe in 2016 for best actress in a miniseries or television film for her role on the FX series American Horror Story: Hotel. She released a new song, "Perfect Illusion," on Sept. 9 -- the first single from her forthcoming album, which was executive produced by Mark Ronson and features collaborations with Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, Beck and Father John Misty. While no release date has been announced, Gaga told Elvis Duran on Sept. 12 that the album is expected "really soon." Billboard has reached out to reps for Gaga for comment.

She seems like a natural choice to me. She's a showman, her name still has plenty of weight and she has the hits to fill a show. Not to mention an album dropping soon. Seems like a great idea.

Beyonce included segments of 9 songs - the most in recent memory - and that was a lot.

It was only a matter of time. If the rumors are true, then I hope she delivers a genuinely original show. And yeah she'd probably bring Bey back for "Telephone," lol.

So pumped if this actually happens. She would totally slay. After crushing the National Anthem last year, I think people really want more live antics from her!

I'd love this. My guess is
"Perfect Illusion" Another song off Joanne "Just Dance" "Bad Romance" "Born This Way" "The Edge of Glory" "Applause"
Of course, "Telephone" would be a dream and Bey is the unofficial grand marshall of the Super Bowl but I don't see it happening. Hard to imagine "Poker Face" not fitting in (particularly when "Applause" could make it) but I could see her wanting to represent each album.

^ I would s**t my pants if Telephone happened. I feel like the Superbowl is the only opportunity we have left for that live collaboration.

Nice setlist, though I don't see why a JD/PF mashup wouldn't be the best option for those two. PF remains her best selling song, it's basically mandatory it be there in some form. I'd also replace BTW with Y&I since it fits for the superbowl much better and is literally a stadium/arena song in the first place. Telephone would be amazing but I honestly think there could be backlash from some if Beyonce shows up yet again (no complaints from me mind you).

Lady Gaga to Headline Super Bowl 2017 Halftime Show
Get ready to put your paws up, Little Monsters! Lady Gaga is set to headline the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show, a source confirms to Us Weekly.
Following much speculation, the "Perfect Illusion" singer, 30, has officially signed on to perform at the 51st annual football championship event at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on February 5, 2017.
The exciting news comes just days after Us Weekly reported that Gaga was "in talks" to headline the 2017 sporting event.

Why not! She can perform well, she can sing well, she has a name and has music that is instantly recognizable (her earlier work). Outside of Beyonce and Bruno and seeing Missy Elliot that one year, she is easily my most anticipated performer in a long , long while! It would be stupid to not perform her current flop but maybe jut 30 seconds of it and then move on to her impressive hits. I want her to go all out and bring out all the, S's. Stunts, shows & shenanigans.

So with Pepsi I guess we can now gauge who will be the performer based off of what mega star has an album either currently out or about to drop seeing as how their pattern has been recently.

Katy Perry and Bruno Mars haven't released albums since well before their Super Bowls and BeyoncΓ© was hardly about to drop an album when she did hers. Not crazy about Gaga, I used to be a fan but her material has consistently decreased in quality post-The Fame Monster.

Not crazy about Gaga, I used to be a fan but her material has consistently decreased in quality post-The Fame Monster. Both Katy and Bruno were on the tail end of eras with massive hits, Coldplay had just released their album, and Beyonce was speculated to be releasing her new album which goes along with Grown Woman being used as promo during her Pepsi commercial. Before that BEP was riding the wave of their mega era and Madonna was releasing MDNA around the time of her performance.
