Lady Gaga. The name conjures up many images. You may think of her infamous meat dress … or perhaps watching her hatch out of an egg at the Grammy Awards. Or maybe you are picturing her outrageous green dress comprised of the disembodied heads of Kermit the Frog. Regardless of what ridiculous outfit you associate with Gaga, you can’t say she’s uninteresting.

For a lot of people, people with whom I inherently disagree with and abhor, tuning into the Super Bowl on Sunday will be for one reason and one reason only: the halftime show. With Lady Gaga headlining the show this year, well, there are a Million Reasons to tune in.
Sure, Gaga is famous for her outlandish sense of fashion, but she’s also a hell of a singer and absolutely knows how to put on a show. This will not be her first trip to the big game, either.
If you recall, last year she sang the national anthem and took our breath away with her GROTESQUE BLOOD-COLORED GLITTER EYESHADOW—er I mean, patriotic wardrobe and makeup. She might have also lost you a shit ton of money when she caused an international gambling crisis by singing, “Home of the brave” twice.

The rumors surrounding Gaga’s halftime performance are already SWIRLING. Gaga is intent on making the halftime show the biggest and most unforgettable in history, which, knowing her, is quite plausible. There are already rumors that at $10 million, this is the most expensive halftime show that the NFL has ever produced.
Gaga even said her sister suggested that she perform from the roof of NRG Stadium. If Lady Gaga were to fly from the 235-foot roof of NRG Stadium onto the field it would probably be the least controversial thing she’s ever done, so between You and I, I’m holding out for more.

Most recent Super Bowl halftimes have included guest appearances, and the current rumor is that Elton John will join the star to give a tribute to the late David Bowie. Both Sir Elton and Lady Gaga are (like any person with a sense for musical talent) David Bowie fans, but both have been keeping a Poker Face when asked about the potential duet.
Other guest appearance rumors involve Beyoncé, who dropped the most fire Instagram of the week on Wednesday when she announced she was pregnant with twins. I think we can safely assume that Bey will not sing or Just Dance during halftime, seeing as this pregnancy looks real. (LOL JUST KIDDING DON’T HURT ME BEYHIVE.)

So who is this mysterious Lady Gaga? Well, her real name is Stefani Germanotta and she was born and raised in New York. She attended NYU and performed in New York City’s Lower East Side, until eventually moving to L.A. to record her first album.
After her first album, The Fame, was released, Lady Gaga has proven to be a musical force with a stage presence and fashion sense unparalleled in the entertainment industry. The Paparazzi love her for her absurd outfits and stage persona. Gaga has been nominated for a Monster 17 Grammy Awards, of which she has won SIX. Six Grammys, eh? I’m lucky if I get six likes on a tweet.
Anywho, Gaga’s talent is undeniable and she has a loyal and vocal fanbase, which she lovingly refers to as her “Little Monsters.” She co-founded a website exclusively for her fans called LittleMonsters.com, which OMG IT HAS A PIC OF HER AND ELTON JOHN ON THE FRONT PAGE.

Aside from music, Gaga recently starred in American Horror Story and won a Golden Globe to much Applause. I, personally, am terrified of the American Horror Story franchise and refuse to watch any episodes, even if it is to research Lady Gaga for this article. (Seriously, that show is forked up.) But woah! Six Grammys and a Golden Globe?! I suppose you could say she’s on the Edge of Glory.
Gaga has been in the news a lot lately due to her activism and philanthropic work, especially following the presidential election. This has led many to speculate if or how she will use her platform this weekend. This is where I predict the countless angry “STICK TO SPORTS” comments that will occur on this article that really, truthfully has had nothing to do with sports.

You should be excited for the halftime show because, despite all the costumes and funky makeup, Lady Gaga is extremely talented. Yes, sometimes she can be pretty far out there but look, she was … Born This Way.
The Super Bowl starts at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday so if you’re looking for Gaga, turn on FOX around 8 p.m.
