Report: Lady Gaga To Be Announced As 2017 Super Bowl Headliner On Sunday

Is she? Isn’t she?

Lady Gaga‘s name has been almost singularly attached to the headlining slot at the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

All month multiple sources have reported that it was a done deal and that the ‘Perfect Illusion’ singer will indeed be taking centre-stage in Houston next February.

Yet a spanner was thrown into the works last week when the NFL denied that a definite decision had been made.

Now, a new source alludes to that move being simply to allow organisers to make the announcement themselves.

And apparently they may very well be doing that in a mere matter of days.

Full story below…

Sports Business Business reports:

Lady Gaga will indeed be the halftime show headliner at Super Bowl LI after reports first popped up last week that she would perform at the game in Houston. Sources said that Gaga will be confirmed by Fox on Sunday during its NFL programming, most likely during its pregame show.

We’re clutching our prayer cloth and hoping Sunday brings with it the confirmation.

Popularity weighs into the mix and Gaga (to her arguable detriment) has become somewhat of a polarizer in recent years. That said, there’s no denying or debating that she puts on all sorts of a show. Of the current crop of contenders, she really stands head and shoulders above the pack.

Make it official, already!

‘Joanne,’ Gaga’s new album, hits stores October 21st.

    Yessssss hopefully this will make the GP pay attention to her again.

    • Ughhhh September 22, 2016

      How many hits does she have?
      1. Poker face
      2. Bad Romance

      Besides that what songs is the SuperBowl audience going to know? Like in all seriousness. This is a huge mistake. I rather hear Carrie Underwood or any other country singer at least they would make since with the football audience.

      • JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2016

        Seriously what´s your problem?

      • Ughhhh September 22, 2016

        Did you not read my comment? I don’t understand why Lady Gaga is being considered for the Super bowl …. she can sing but it’s far from her time. Does that make sense now?

      • iamdiego September 22, 2016

        she could finally do telephone with Beyonce. It is Bey’s home town. I think that would make since.

      • Ughhhh September 22, 2016

        Debuted. Meaning people thought it was going to be hot…. where is it now?

  2. Cough Cough September 22, 2016

    Good. It will give her a chance to reconnect with the masses, show off her immense talent and hopefully give her a wake up call that all we want is her real talent(with a little glitz/awe) Leave the gimmicks behind. You’re consigned By legends, icons and peers for a reason puta and it ain’t for Armadillo McQueen heels!!! Get ready girl

    • JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2016

      LOl Yes.

    • Paulo September 22, 2016

      “armadillo mcQueen” DEEEEEEAD

  3. JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2016

    It it finally becomes true it is the best decision they could make. Real singer, real performer.

    For next year (after Gaga) they should change something though. A change of genre or an older artist again. Celine Dion slaying the stadium with her epic lip synced vocals or something. See that pucking VOICE in the clip below:

    • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

      There are many good singers out there ! Lol lady galas caroling ur does not deserve a Super Bowl halftime set everyone knows it besides her monsters no one will be checking for this

      • JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2016

        In English? Something to say about Celine´s epic vocals or Gaga´s truly good voice? Bye.

      • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

        Catalogue sorry still working the kinks out with this iPhone 7 lol

  4. Datredd23 September 22, 2016

    Lady Gaga will be a huge bore none of her hits are rememorable Wendy said it best when she said Rihanna should do it she is far more relevent in 2016 then Gaga is by light years !

    • meme September 22, 2016

      I agree. I feel like Gaga is way to “new” to be headlining the superbowl. She has 3 albums and a couple memorable hits. I feel like they should give it to more accomplish artist that is still relevant with the catalogue to carry a half time. My picks would have been Rihanna, Drake or Usher.

  5. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy September 22, 2016

    I’m not mad at Gaga performing, but I’m tired of pop stars performing at the moment. Personally, I think it’s time for a rapper as hip-hop is the new rock n’ roll. I would love to see a performance from Kanye or Eminem. I wouldn’t mind to see a band like Linkin Park perform either. To me, Katy Perry diminished the greatness of what is meant to be a superbowl half-time performer, so I’m tired of poptart broads and their holloween costumes

  6. RihYonce September 22, 2016

    I’m pretty sure Gaga is going to CUT TF UP! She’s a great performer so she’ll do great

  7. Weezy Tha Goat/ Zayn is ? September 22, 2016

    She’s a great performer but I don’t think her demographic isn’t straight men. I’m just rooting for the Cowboys though ??

    • Kyle September 22, 2016

      This coming from a gay man like you?

      • Weezy Tha Goat/ Zayn is ? September 22, 2016

        I’m not gay I’m straight like Mark.

  8. meme September 22, 2016

    Very disappointed. I think Gaga is a good pick however I feel this year was Rihanna’s year. I really don’t think Gaga has a big enough catalogue to perform at the superbowl. They will have to pair her with another act.

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

      Rihanna had her chance to impress us at the VMAS and she failed….

      • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

        According to who? Her dancehall performance was the most watched performance of the night by triple and she slayed he ballads and for her moment at the end speech was very good and personality shine bright aswell not to mention the opening was cute af

      • Meme September 22, 2016

        What? How did Rihanna vma performance fail? She did her damn thing. Everything was on point from dancing to vocals. The only small hiccup was needed me. The only ppl who saw a problem with Rihanna’s performance was Beyoncé fans.

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

        Rihannas voice box was lost during the VMAS. She performed 4 times and only sang about 5 words during each song

  9. IG @ MIXEDBOY September 22, 2016

    Gaga is a good choice. I can only imagine the fantastic throwback artist she will bring out. I’m here for it!

  10. Sandra September 22, 2016

    This will be visually awkward or consist of too many costume changes.
    GaGa’s music/albums are so defined by looks and a image that i don’t know how this will translate onstage considering that her new image is so pared down and hasn’t consisted of any choreography so far.

  11. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? September 22, 2016

    OMG! I guess it is true that you only headline the Superbowl when you’re flopping or your career is in jeopardy. Maybe that’s why Rih insists on not doing it. I can’t blame her. ?
    _______
    Anyway, I immediately loved “Perfect Illusion” after hearing it and I loge it even more after watching the video. I know she’ll put on a good show, but she BETTER leave the gimmicks alone this time for real. I hope she has black artists as her special guests.

  12. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? September 22, 2016

    Plus, after that whole F-word scandal with Rih and CBS, they’re probably gonna pull every trick in the book to not let her headline. I don’t really think she cares, though. She might be planning to wait on releasing “Loud 2.0” first to have new pop music, anyway. She’s unbothered, so no loss for her.

  13. Perry September 22, 2016

    I’m not a huge Gaga fan, but I admit, she has HITS and definitely knows how to put on a show.

  14. Kyle September 22, 2016

    Imagine if she brings Madonna on stage the meltdowns from the grandkids and monsters will be epic

    • JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2016

      I would love to see Madonna and Lana del Rey on stage with her and see these sad people always hating on each other for pucking unknown reasons on very personal levels (as if they knew these artists personally or something) having seizures and meltdowns 🙂

  15. Anna September 22, 2016

    It will be full of LGBT propaganda which will make the football fans seethe, and I am here for the meltdowns ??.

  16. stardom September 22, 2016

    Lol gaga team be doing the most to make her relevant but she needs better songs & needs to go back to her gimmicky antics, though played out but still better than this nonsense new artistic direction.

  17. 2bad2bme September 22, 2016

    Nobody wants to see her itching, twitching, and bitching for 15 minutes at a half time football game. But I guess that is a way to get the gays and the females to tune in. Clever I guess.

    • JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2016

      Oh yeah right cause that´s all she does right? She cannot sing or play piano or anything, right? Where have you been these last two years?

      • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

        She sucks major her singing is mere screaming and her music is pure trash juvenile and just awful pandering gays and whatnot she is so prentious she finally getting the karma for trying to ruin Chriatinas career and I love it!

      • JOHNVIDAL September 23, 2016

        What a sad hater. When one has to resort to lies then you know they are pathetic people. You exposed yourself though. Gaga is so damn talented and you know it probably, but you´re a xtina fan lol Get over it. Both performed togetehr years ago. GROW UP!

  18. Black power September 22, 2016

    I have to admit I was really rooting for Rihanna to do it UNTIL I saw her VMA performances, I mean she could barley give us a full out show for the 4 minute slots she had w/o getting winded not to mention her bare minimum choreo… So with that being said I’m ALLLLL for Gaga she has the hits and will definitely put on one hell of a show!

  19. Liz September 22, 2016

    They should just do Rihanna and Gaga on the same stage since they did Beyoncé and Bruno Mars on the Sam stage this year. Like a mashup or something would be EPIC!

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

      Rihanna couldn’t even perform for 4 minutes straight at the Vma’s. What makes you think that she could handle half time ?

      • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

        She could always lip segments like Bey does or completely lip like Madge but whether u like her or not she has stage presence and charisma and her hits are undeniable

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

        Rihanna sang over a backtrack and still sounded pitchy and off key. Beyonce would never!

      • Tori September 22, 2016

        @ Amerikkka’s Most Wanted AND WAS O U T O F B R E A T H E

  20. Liz September 22, 2016

    Call her a gimmick all u want. Doesn’t change the fact ur tired ass will be watching!

  21. Orangeyougladididntsaybanana September 22, 2016

    I would be the first to cry outrage and say this was supposed to be Rihanna’s time

    But after those VMA performances making her the performer would be attempted murder on millions of viewers ?

  22. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

    Well, she is a pretty good performer. So this should be a good look for her

    • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

      You know she sucks and has to resort to over the top and have a huge theatrical production she could never grace the stage like Bey of Rih never again !

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

        Gaga is a better vocalist/performer than Rihanna in my opinion.

  23. The kpop guy, Matt ~ September 22, 2016

    I can see her doing Judas in black leather and then go into perfect illusion and then bon Jovi comes out and does living on a prayer

  24. FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade September 22, 2016

    Loool rih did ok at the vma’s dont try it.
    No Gaga don’t have the hits for that. But she can.sing the national anthem this year again i will not be bothered
    Hmm in all honestly and after her vma perf i would like to see Bey again … then Rihanna or usher.

  25. Datredd23 September 22, 2016

    The General Public wants Rihanna or Drake but we will see I guess give it to Gaga then she’s almost in retirement so I guess this is so or die for her she needs this way more then Queen Rih i mean Rih had more hits this year alone then Gaga has had in her 8 year old career lol

    • The kpop guy, Matt ~ September 22, 2016

      Where? Work and needed me were her only hits this year. Flop it better and Jizzz on the Brain were not hits

      • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

        What other hits has Calvin had without Rihanna dear? TIWYCF is at 700 million views nearly, the second fastest to do so with Rihanna starring in the video not Calvin lol

      • I can’t September 22, 2016

        what inspiring song would she use to end her set? Beyonce used Halo, Madonna used Like A Prayer, and Katy used Fireworks. What about Gaga? what song to end it with ??

    • Sharp September 22, 2016

      “Sweet Nothing” is the song you’re referring too
      “Feel So Close” and “Let’s Go” and “I Need Your Love” and “Summer” and “How Deep Is Your Love” and “Blame” and “Bounce” …. Calvin Harris several hits without Rihanna

    This betçh has BOPS

    • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

      It’s sad Rih has only been in the game 3 more years then her and has quadruple the hits and sales! Plus she’s younger lol

      • I can’t September 22, 2016

        Gaga has half the amount of albums and an eighth of the amount of features? Use your brain. Frih releases more music than almost any other pop star you can think of. Gaga hasn’t released nearly the same amount of music. Not even close. And yet Gaga has 6 Grammys and Rihanna has 8. Gaga has a higher net worth. Gaga has higher grossing tours. And dead at your exaggeration that Rihanna has quadruple the sales, especially when it’s for damn sure that you haven’t proportioned any real numbers. I’ll never understand how the navy can Stan for the hot 100 and the hot 100 alone. The definition of a one trick pony. The amount of music she’s produced is embarrassingly disproportionate with her award wins and her income. She’s not a touring force by any means. She’s hit #1 on the bb200 25% of the time and she’s debuted at number one 12.5% of the time. 8 albums in, and she’s yet to see a first week of 300k. Slay? It’s sad that Rihanna has to do quadruple the amount of work to get half of the success the other pop tarts get. But that’s what happens when you’re half as talented, I suppose.

      • Datredd23 September 22, 2016

        Sorry sweetie but Rih didn’t receive white priveledge like a lot of these pop tarts out here nor did she have the big machine and money that was being spent on Gags she literally worked her way up and could be versatile and make a vast catalogue of music . Gaga had every chance to make great music and stay relevant but she failed so you’re going to knock Rih for making a lot of music for her hungry fans? I don’t think so and last year her net worth has topped gags I’m sure she will top her again this year ! Lol Puma sales ain’t no joke

      • JOHNVIDAL September 23, 2016

        Datredd
        LOL You must be retarded. Ritry has been releasing 7 singles per year for like 10 years non stop. It´s her only strenght: releasing singles again and again with no much growth so taht she doesn´t alienate the pop masses. Others prefer to be more like real artist and songwrite, sing and actually evolve even if it means singles charts won´t welcome you anymore. Gaga is more than fine with the hits she has to perform at the Superbowl. At the end of teh day the number of Rihanna songs the masses remember is probably the same ast the number of songs by Gaga. Which is very telling. Gaga will keep having her quality career regardless of singles and hits anyway, unlike Ritry, who will be done once her presence on singles charts ends.

  27. Trose September 22, 2016

    Telephone with Beyonce though?! Can we get a live rendition of that?

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 22, 2016

      Yess! That would be epic

    • Sharp September 22, 2016

      Only so Gaga can be upstaged by Beyoncé…

  28. Not a fan. Just saying September 22, 2016

    Lord knows it wasn’t gonna be anybody close to black..lol

    • Fancy BISH September 22, 2016

      lol

  29. Sean September 22, 2016

    Bad Romance
    Poker Face
    Just Dance
    Born This Way
    Edge Of Glory

    That’s all I need.

    Mix in a feature from legends like Elton John, Mick Jagger and Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac and that’ll be one hell of a show.

  30. FC/JC September 22, 2016

    Get ready for more satanic rituals….

  31. Mariah Carey September 22, 2016

    They should get the famous Grammy Award attendee Ariana Grande dahhling!

    • JOHNVIDAL September 23, 2016

      LOL

  32. Lea September 23, 2016

    Yall can say whatever, that woman is going to destroy that field. She’s a performer regardless of whatever songs she chooses. See Beyonce!

  33. mr.m September 23, 2016

    Rihanna might have a way better catalog of hits
    BUT gaga can put out a real performance tbh
    Rihanna is a tired ass performer (vma’s anyone?)
