NFL Deny Reports That Lady Gaga Will Headline Super Bowl

Published: Sunday 18th Sep 2016 by Sam

Are the reports of Lady Gaga headlining the 2017 Super Bowl a ‘Perfect Illusion’?

According to an NFL rep, the answer is yes. At least for now.

Full story below…

Earlier this week Billboard went to press citing sources that confirmed the singer was in talks to perform at the high-profile event next year.

Today, US Weekly went a step further to confirm the news.

The latter seemed to be the straw that broke the camels back, because the NFL have issued a formal statement denying the confirmation. It read…

“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. We’re happy there is so much excitement about the show.” [Source]

In specific response to the latest story, Natalie Ravitz – Senior Vice President of Communications at the NFL – tweeted…

Our response?

….

Can they just confirm Gaga and keep it moving? She’s easily the most qualified of the current crop of potentials. There’s no need to waste time with the teasing and titillation because any other name would arguably be a disappointment.

Your thoughts?

    JLO IS A BETTER CHOICE THAN LADY GIMMICK.

    • BeyHiveMilitant September 18, 2016

      NFL is not checking US iTunes obviously. Tragic Illusion is #50.

      A flop mess!!! ?

      • pablo alboran fan September 18, 2016

        lmaoooo

      • Lol September 18, 2016

        No wonder Lady Gaga is BACK IN THE STUDIO reworking the songs in her upcoming album, #FlopAnne After only one week, this COMEBACK single continues its free fall on iTunes USA.

        It is now sitting at No. 50
        ???

        Lady Gaga, who is in her 8th year in the business, will NOT enter the top 10 on Hot 100 with this FLOPPING COMEBACK song. That explain why her fans are shook. Welcome to the ICU of Pop Music, Gaga!

      • RiriMilitary September 18, 2016

        She has like what? 3 hits in her career. They better pair her with Salena Gomez then.. ?

    • Flopanne September 18, 2016

      Gaga last hit #1 on Billboard 100 was in 1967….hihihiks!

      • Ahaks September 18, 2016

        Gaga, Jlo and Selena..they all have 2-3 #1 songs. That would work. It is called Half Sleepytime show!!

      • Jamon September 18, 2016

        JLO has 4 #1’s and over 10 top ten hits. I wouldn’t mind hearing Waiting for tonight, On the Floor, I’m real, Ain’t that funny, If you had my love, Let’s get loud, I’m gonna be alright, Jenny from the block, Love don’t cost a thing, Play, Get Right. With Ja Rule as a guess feature. You can hate in them, but they have some good, memorable hits.

      • Give It Up September 18, 2016

        Nobody is checking Gaga’s songs for the last 3 years or so exept her stupid tone-deaf fans and NFL knows it. Good riddance!

      • Too much September 18, 2016

        Thats mean ..Ouch! ???

    • Mr Half Becky September 18, 2016

      I remember her Moronsters commenting everywhere she was #1 in 70 countries..redefining pop music bla bla bla at the very beginning, poor little creatures. What a flop.

      I thought Applause was bad, Perfect Illusion is even worse!! Her weakest single in her career and she blames her label. Please NFL…NO!!

      • JohnVidal September 18, 2016

        KATY PERRY and BRITNEY both release new songs! …..and where is FLOPGA to steal the spotlight?…Remember when Gaga released “Applause” at the same time as Katy’s “ROAR” and Katy ended up mopping the floor with Gaga! Now Gaga is doing odd jobs to keep her faded, tarnished name in the headlines?…..ha ha ha! Gag’s?…where are you gurl?…ha 😆 ha!

      • Lmfao September 18, 2016

        Jlo and Pitbull…settled?

    • The Truth Serum September 18, 2016

      We can all agree on one thing now: Gaga cannot make music without relying in the past. PERFECT DELUSION, as all of her music, sounds dated — and don’t call it “retro,” folks. It would be “retro” if this was one song (or one album) inspired by a classic genre, or classic hits, which is not the case; Gaga’s entire career was built on borrowing sounds from the past with no intention of adding personality or originality (just pretension). PERFECT DELUSION sounds like 80s trash pop rock (with the disco references and all) – just like many songs in her first major flop in music, the overhyped 99c album “Born This Way” (2011). 🙁

      • Yulanda September 18, 2016

        Perfect Illusion” – is that about her PATHETIC and SAD attempts to seem like she’s still popular?! (Buying awards, headlines etc,)….ha ha ha! #4EverReductive! How can you be proud of what you didn’t earn?!….How can that feel good when its all FAKE!? O’L Gags is just living on lies!….ha ha ha! Like Beyonce…

    • Kim Kardashian Stan September 18, 2016

      Kanye 2017 Superbowl!!!!!

      • hishhhh September 18, 2016

        are u on meth….he is the donald trump of music.

    • JohnVidal September 18, 2016

      Jho will ruin it with autotunes. Bye gurl!

      • Lmfao September 18, 2016

        Even Mariah using backtrack…whats your point. It is not American Idol!

  2. Karma4Monsturd September 18, 2016

    A flop album is coming called Joanne! ??

    • Tsk x3 September 18, 2016

      This white thrash is going to manipulate the charts and pay Billboard so she could debut hire. Just like she paid Woman of the Year title it was a scam. Everyone knows she is a flake. Thank godness for grandpa Tony for saving her career!

    • aint your mama September 18, 2016

      Gaga is a templatist. Lady Gaga is officially “The Templatist.”

      She can sing but no flow or flair. You heard it here first. She’s not an Artist. She’s a Templatist. She is recycling music and art. Empty art.

      Unfortunately, some people can’t tell…

      • AMARIA September 18, 2016

        i hope she will debut at tinashe’s level…

      • Gina G September 18, 2016

        Bubbling Under…kikikih

  3. Kitteneyez September 18, 2016

    F*** gag much I want Chris Rihanna Usher JLo Kanye it will be so lit!

  4. Black power September 18, 2016

    They literally said the same thing about Katy Perry when it first leaked…
    No matter what the haters say Gaga would SLAY her performance, outfits, vocals, choreo, visuals EVERYTHING #stophatingonGAGAin2016

    • Rosie September 18, 2016

      Stop being delusional, WHY would the NFL book an artist whose only remaining fanbase are white gays who think Scream Queens is quality TV for THE main sporting event in the US? At least Katy is still liked by the GP, plus the masculine straight men think she’s hot.

      • Gaga- Tinashe of Pop September 18, 2016

        Gaga has the worst fanbase of the music history. Little Monsters made accounts filled with stock photos of parents and mentions of wine to tweet radio stations to show a high demand for Perfect Illusion.

        Too funny and yet the song is still a FLOP of the year.

      • T Carter September 18, 2016

        “Perfect Illusion” = Creatively Bankrupt!! Sounds very generic, like a b side or filler track! Plus Gaga constantly screaming the chorus over and over is ANNOYING!….all in all a weak forgettable comeback! Britney’s latest song has way more life! #AntiClimax

      • Straight but not Narrow September 18, 2016

        Gaga and her pancake b00bs! Eurghhh..?

    • Miss Jay September 18, 2016

      You obviously didn’t check out her ArtFlop Tour venue.
      Like a clown freak show …cheap and messy the upper part of the arena was covered with black curtains to give an illusion that her show was sold-out. Too funny.

  5. No Thanks September 18, 2016

    Yuck!!!

  6. Hyuna September 18, 2016

    I wanna be entertained I wanna see a real performer!
    I need jlo but she is too busy with shade of blue, vegas residency, hbo tv movie griselda blanco and producing world of dance 🙁

  7. Ben September 18, 2016

    Nobody is checking this white thrash after ArtFlop. Her latest wack single Perfect Delusion is out of top 40 after a week! ?

  8. Jamie September 18, 2016

    I’ll do it. I mean damn.lol

  9. BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 September 18, 2016

    J. Lo

  10. Wuanisha September 18, 2016

    Her comeback is going down like a s*it in a bidet…..? im so over with her thrashy music!!

  11. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ September 18, 2016

    It will probably be Maroon 5 and they’d bring christina on to perform “moves like Jagger” and nicki minaj to bring on the ‘sugar’ remix.

    Or it’s gaga and the only other person she brings out is Beyonce and they do telephone and video phone and then gaga changes into her last outfit while beyonce performs “sweet dreams”.

    OR it will be rihanna and she’ll bring out jay z to do umbrella, drake to do “what’s my name” and “work” and kanye west to do “all of the lights” and “run this town”

    OR its shakira and she brings out both beyonce and rihanna.

    or itsnicki minaj and she brings out everyone hes worked with

    • pablo alboran fan September 18, 2016

      NO B****, WE WANT J.LO,SHE WOULD EAT THAT STAGE!

    • FAF September 19, 2016

      Jlo and pitbull

      Everyone else is too new or too raunchy to headline

      This is a family event they’re not risking a Janet fiasco w Rihanna p**** patting and Nicki is not well liked by white ppl anymore since she stopped being so animated

  12. Kwinzy September 18, 2016

    Y’all are really going in on homegirl. Yikes!?

    • MusicFan103 September 18, 2016

      LOL I know they had me cackling over here. LOL

  13. Rosie September 18, 2016

    Ahahahaha
    They really got excited for a minute on Twitter when Us Weekly “comfirmed” it.

    • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ September 18, 2016

      BUT when will lana grace that stage??
      her alcoholic tenancies aside, how would she slay the stage? and no, drnking #UltraVodka and tasting her own biscuit does not count.

      • Rosie September 18, 2016

        Yawn at these same tired alcoholic drags that’s been used since 2014
        Worry about your fave falling 40 spots on iTunes in 2 days. Not even High By The Beach fell that fast.
        Joe will sell less than Glory first week and his tour will play to (half empty) theaters at this point.

  14. Rosie September 18, 2016

    If they’re going to get another female artist then they should probably choose Frih tbh. She has the hits, as long as she lipsyncs it shouldn’t go wrong. I mean, it can’t be as bad as when the Black Eyed Peas ended their careers on that stage.

    • pablo alboran fan September 18, 2016

      WHY NOT J.LO? SHE CAN OUTPERFORM ALL YOUNGER GIRLS AND HAS HAD MANY HITS.

  15. pablo alboran fan September 18, 2016

    JENNY FROM THE BLOCK
    IF YOU HAD MY LOVE
    LOVE DON’T COST A THING
    WAITING FOR TONIGHT
    ON THE FLOOR
    GET RIGHT
    AIN’T YOUR MAMA

    JENNY WOULD SLAY!!!!!

  16. Jay Jay September 18, 2016

    I wouldn’t mind for Gaga to perform but she has to perform Bad romance and Poker Face!! Lol those are still my favorite songs.

    I would like to see a medley of artists though. Especially from my childhood.

  17. Rihboy September 18, 2016

    Watch it be Taylor swift ?

  18. Haha September 18, 2016

    Her music is too gay. Im sure straight men would take their dogs for a pee when Gag comes on screen!

  19. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ September 18, 2016

    as long as it’s not d!ke. i’ll be happy. it would literally be trash flying around the stadium

      • flop her way September 18, 2016

        she missed the top 10 in the uk.
        a flop…tragic one. 🙁

    • Kim Kardashian Stan September 18, 2016

      KANYE 2017 SUPERBOWL!!!

  22. FC/JC September 18, 2016

    NFL Goes against the popular vote, It wont be Gaga, If it was, they wouldnt have issued that statement to specifically deny that rumor that it was her.

    It will prob be Drake, or IDk, some older legends, or a pop rock band.

  23. MusicFan103 September 18, 2016

    There are many great acts that could tear up the stage. Some of the veterans who are stage acts who I would like to see include:
    Jennifer Lopez
    Usher
    Britney Spears

    Then you could also select some more musical acts such as:
    Maroon 5
    OneRepublic

    But then you also have modern timely acts who have great catalogs and fan bases that would translate well on TV like:
    Rihanna
    Pitbull
    Calvin Harris
    Drake
    Taylor Swift (though musically she would be terrible for the FB fans)

    I’ve even imagined them going completely out of the box and giving it to Nicki Minaj. I mean with Nicki you get a stage show, a woman men like to look at, uptempo music, plus a ton of possible guest artists who could join her from Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, Lil Wayne, etc.

    Most of the people I listed could have epic guests:
    J.Lo (Ja Rule, LL Cool J, Fabolous, Pitbull, Ludacris, Marc Anthony, etc.)
    Usher (Beyonce, J.D., Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown if they allowed…)
    Rihanna (Calvin Harris, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Eminem, etc.)
    Pitbull (Ne-Yo, Jennifer Lopez, Kesha, Christina Aguilera, etc.)
    Calvin Harris (Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Ellie Goulding, John Newman, Florence Welch, etc.)

    I could go on and on. But you all get the picture. Lady Gaga is not the end be all or needed for 2017. honestly them giving it to her helps her more than it helps them. Almost like a boost and jump start to her 2017 tour/ball she will inevitably go on.

  24. Shierly September 18, 2016

    ACDC or Tina Turner!!!
    The contemporaries aren’t doing anything stadium worthy. They’ve already had Beyonce, the only current stadium act.

    Anything else would be a snooze fest

  25. The Truth Serum September 18, 2016

    I actually got a bit of a headache from her new song. This new era will be tragic.

  26. JohnVidal September 18, 2016

    Flop Illusion is out of Top 40 after a week on iTunes. That explain why NFL dump her.

    😆

  28. Yulanda September 18, 2016

    Who is she going to rip off for Superbowl, ya think?

    Katy Perry? Madonna? Amy Winehouse? or one of 80s artist who we do not know of ?!!!

    🙁

  29. Slaylor Swift September 18, 2016

    Why would they invite a fad to perform? Legends only

  30. aint your mama September 18, 2016

    One of the biggest mistakes she made in her career (despite that Gaga still denies to this day) was that she blatantly ripped off Madge’s Express Yourself. In her deranged mentality, she thought she would be the “new Madonna” ready to take her throne… but not long after we [Madonna fans & those who lived through 80’s] stopped her from happening. I remember the first time I listened to Poker Face, Paparazzi and Bad Romance and I go watch her videos to see what’s all the hype about. I admit I started to like her videos….UNTIL the day Alejandro video was released and I swear, it has Express Yourself/Vogue all through this b****! Ripped without credit, I was immediately put off by it. ? That was 6 years ago. Many people say her career has been in decline when Born This Way era came out… But I noticed her declining after releasing her Alejandro video. Note: it was the last song from The Fame Monster. Things haven’t gotten better after that.

    • JOHNVIDAL September 20, 2016

      LOL Please keep that. Dare to explain to us how JLo actually STOLE songs from Mariah Carey? The jokes write themselves when people who don´t like TALENT try to shade talented people at any cost.

  31. Slaylor Swift September 18, 2016

    Taylor will be the next female to perform.

  32. Kim Kardashian Stan September 18, 2016

  34. stardom September 18, 2016

    I swear y’all crazy as fvvck lol. Poor gaga thought this was her bomb perfect comeback but her delusional stans who hype sh1t up & the GP said no.
    I actually want to see her succeed tho but her past(of over the top everything) made her peak on time & now its hard to re-invent herself.

  35. Kim Kardashian Stan September 18, 2016

    Hoanne is gonna flop so hard. Her career died when Artpop was released.

    • urghhhh September 18, 2016

      Alejandro…since that her music is kind of..tacky.

  36. HailLegendBeysus September 18, 2016

    Drake n Riri….period.

  40. Michael September 18, 2016

    Gaga? Even gay men find her quite ugly tbh. There is nothing you can do to entice straight crowds with that kind of face and persona.

    Thank godness, someone in NFL is thinking. Byeeee.

    The best one for Superbowl is Jennifer Lopez, she is a beast on the stage !!!! #Legend

  42. Viridiana September 18, 2016

    If they’re going to get another female artist then they should probably choose J.Lo, her Las Vegar residency it’s #1 on Billboard Boxscore

  43. Miss Jay September 18, 2016

    if u want to see gaga..go to the circus or vegas. why bother.

  44. Fixed! September 18, 2016

    Gaga is so 8 years ago. An her Twitter followers are mostly eggs. ???

    Well that is unfortunate for you Gaga, good luck in your era. Oh well I’m sure Rihanna or Taylor Swift will get it, they are the only two choices that make sense.

  47. Kels September 18, 2016

    Beyoncé again for sure. I’m sorry bout Beyoncé is carrying the torch for performers

    The worst Superbowl must be..Beyonce’s! Like a horny stripper! Formation flops..so did her show!

  50. FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade September 18, 2016

    I think about Drake and Rih.they both have hits…look cute together. And at the end will make their relationship official…nfl will win viewvers and both Drake and rih will get more sales plus streams..

  51. taylor September 18, 2016

    Rest in peace Gaga…you will end up like Rihanna and Mariah. They are not stadium worthy?

    • JOHNVIDAL September 20, 2016

      Absolute death at this one person taking the time to create soooo many troll accounts never seen before in this site (as always in Gaga´s posts) just to repeat itself with ridiculous “arguments”. Get over it Gaga is mad talented. Move on.

      • JOHNVIDAL September 20, 2016

        This comment wasn´t meant to be a reply to you. Don´t know what happened (although you stan for Selena Gomez and dare to talk about anybodys music so you deserve it 🙂 ).

  55. JOHNVIDAL September 20, 2016

    They have to give it to someone like Celine Dion. Since Madonna no veteran has done it. And it would be a nice change. Unlike Adele, Celine actually has some upbeat songs AND her epic lipsynced voice would blow the whole stadium while singing her huge ballad hits. Imagine that voice accompanied by all the smoke, mirrors and lights these young girls always use for the Superbowl? It would be epic.

    Gaga was the best and perfect choice right now though.
