Is Lady Gaga Super Bowl bound?

According to new reports, she may very well be.

Full story below…

Sources close to Billboard tell the publication that the dynamite diva is in talks with organisers of the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Producers are said to be high on her as a headliner after being impressed with the grandeur she brought to her performance of the US National Anthem at this year’s spectable.

Should Gaga land the gig – which is easily one of the most coveted in the world – it’d serve as quite the coup for her comeback campaign.

With new single ‘Perfect Illusion’ putting her back in the Pop mix, the Bowl would place her at its center.

In response to Billboard, the NFL were coy saying…

“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.”

The 51st annual football showdown is scheduled for February 5th 2017 at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

***************

As stage blazers go, Gaga truly is the most logical option. She also has the hits to match – most of which are mass appealing.

At this point, all that’s needed is to make it official!

    Stop please. Stop trying to resurrect this white devil. I do not want to hear this gargoyle scream that perfect delusion abomination for 15mins. I rather watch 15 mins of commercials. Can we get a male singer for the halftime show. Stop trying to direct the halftime show to women who don’t even watch football and gay queens who don’t care either.

    • Lmfao-H** September 13, 2016

      I was hoping for Usher honestly with the album release, his older songs will begin to chart again. He could have Chris, Lil Jon, Luda, Jay to come out and show out with him.

    • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

      Aren´t you aware you sound like a retarded middle aged individual from the American mid-West? Devil? This is 2016. Why so much hate on a personal level?

      • Ughhhh September 13, 2016

        You say it’s 2016 like white privilege and white women achieving things they don’t deserve doesn’t exist. Lady Gaga is the symbol for white privilege. She is not original. She steals, manipulates and uses communities for personal gain. She is awarded with so many accolades roles and stages that she has not deserved and her rise to fame would have not been anywhere the same whether a person of color walk the same path she has. Lady Gaga is a joke and yes the white devil. If you don’t like it continue to worship in her whiteness idgaf

      • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

        No, I´m saying it´s 2016 because you´re talking about the devil for crying out loud! Get some education first. And no it wasn´t about white privilege. In fact I wa stelling you you sound like a Mid West American (reatrded one), which usually are white. So if you don´t like much those type of people stop behaving like them to begin with. And no, Gaga is not white privilege (after all the ahte these years?), she has talent and a right to get gigs. White privilege would be the non singers and all those who get a pass.

      • Ughhhh September 13, 2016

        Lmao so because it’s 2016 I can’t call someone the devil? Get some education? Funny how you are advising me to get something that you lack. “In fact I wa stelling you you sound like Mid West Anerican (reatrded one), which is usually white.” That sentence alone shows that you need an education, so shut up you sound stupid.

      • JOHNVIDAL September 14, 2016

        Hmm… typos are not being ignorant. That´s called writing too fast. However, basing your opinions and understanding of things on the pucking devil and attacking people you don´t know on a personal level IS being ignorant. I actually cannot believe some people are still like that really. Yes, like I said it´s 2016.

    • Chileplease September 13, 2016

      I agree with everything, except for the “white devil” part. That’s just rude lol. Usher would be great.

  2. Avenger September 13, 2016

    If this happens, then the NFL is officially a joke. Gaga should be headlining a gay foam party or a bathhouse, not taking the stage during the halftime of the most watched FOOTBALL game of the air.

    • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

      Kiii not a bath house! I can’t!

      • Bey&Rih September 13, 2016

        Yaaassssssss, she said a bath house!!! #DEATH ????

    • Onyourwrostday September 13, 2016

      Dumb b**** she was just there last year

    • Caleb September 15, 2016

      The NFL is already a joke regardless of if this performance happens or not.

  3. Um. September 13, 2016

    I guess, but I would rather a male performer, or at least someone who isn’t in the pop genre.

  4. Islandboi242 September 13, 2016

    Nope nope! Nope!

  5. Molly #TheMostRelevantBitch September 13, 2016

    Not here for it

    • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

      But you are for Selena Jimenez? Boy the jokes write themselves. Do you know what singing or performing is?

      • SailorMoon September 14, 2016

        Shut the f*** up you old b****

  6. Christina Aguilera September 13, 2016

    So so so sad… if they ain’t got no one let them call Beyoncé or even P!nk

    • IOWNTHEWORLD September 13, 2016

      I’d love it but you know the people are not gonna go for Bey at the Superbowl for the what…..? 4th time? Maybe it could work…..we’ll see.

      • Christina Aguilera September 13, 2016

        At this point. Every one but not that Gimmick Drag Queen

    • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

      Beyonce already performed twice boo.

      • Side to Side Hunny September 13, 2016

      • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

        When will Ariana?

      • Side to Side Hunny September 13, 2016

        i stan nicki you dumb b**** and shes already done that

      • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

        Thanks to Madonna. When will she HEADLINE the SB? When will she spit a hot bar without her ghostwriter SB? When will she get a #1 single?

      • Side to Side Hunny September 13, 2016

        When will Ci perform at the superbowl and when will Ci get his d*** removed?

      • Angel love September 13, 2016

        Nicki actually seen a Superbowl stage when will Rihanna Ciara and the rest.

      • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

        Rihanna and Ciara have seen #1 hits. When will Icki?

      • Angel Brinks September 13, 2016

        not you clinging to rihanna now LMAO

  7. kitteneyez September 13, 2016

    why not usher or britney spears or jennifer lopez or rihanna

    ewwwwwww no not f***** gaga

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler September 13, 2016

      Lol Rihanna? After the catastrophe she put on at the VMA’ s? I don’t think so .
      My vote goes to Usher!

    • Caleb September 15, 2016

      Look, I have nothing against Britney but she should not be anywhere near a Super Bowl stage in 2017 until she can learn to lip sync properly and more convincingly.

  8. RhiRocks September 13, 2016

    Mess! They need to just give a permanent contract to beyonce to headline every year! I would say Rihanna to perform but after seeing her boring performances at the vmas I’ll pass on that

  9. Pat September 13, 2016

    She’ll slay!

  10. Paulo September 13, 2016

    don’t think she’s got enough clout to get this gig at the moment but she’d slay the stage if true.

  11. Queen Barb September 13, 2016

    Anyone but Lord Flopga please.

  12. Blue Ivy Rod September 13, 2016

    Most of the people wouldn’t be here for it, I think she should focus on slaying this era first then she can do high profile performances like Superbowl. I think they need to bring in a male performer like Usher

  13. Queen Barb September 13, 2016

    Nicki or Rihanna should do it both have lots of hits.

  14. Biting Truth September 13, 2016

    Why can’t get a Rock, Hip Hop or Country act to headline the show? You know, genres that actually appeal to the MEN who watch sports.

    • It Was A Perfect Delusion September 13, 2016

      Britney is more deserving, Straight men don’t care about Gaga.

      • OQRAM September 13, 2016

        Don’t kid yourself, they don’t care about Britney either.

      • It Was A Perfect Delusion September 13, 2016

        Britney is a legend something Gaga isn’t.

      • Career Ender September 13, 2016

        Lol this exchange is funny

    • Hmmm September 13, 2016

      Exactly. We’ve seen enough of the pop stars. Give some other genre the slot.

    • Cocoa September 13, 2016

      I agree it’s time to give another genre some shine.

    • Caleb September 15, 2016

      They’ll probably already be watching. The NFL wants to bring in people who might not be watching otherwise.

  15. DTG September 13, 2016

    Enough with the damn female pop singers every year. Why are they trying to turn the NFL gay?

    • Blue Ivy Rod September 13, 2016

      How is seeing females performing going to turn anyone “gay”? Go somewhere else with your stupidity.

  16. Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) September 13, 2016

    Gaga would be great for the Super Bowl. She is a true performer. I would also like to see Usher headline.

  17. Lmfao-H** September 13, 2016

    Lol my mother said R Kelly and truthfully I could see it with his hits such as (Ignition, Step In the name of love, The worlds greatest, ect. and then the last song I Believe I can Fly.

    • Blue Ivy Rod September 13, 2016

      We need a mainstream popular artist, R. Kelly has hits but doesn’t cater to a wide audience like Usher

    • Coolness September 13, 2016

      Damn, I don’t support Robert’s pervy a** but he could’ve slayed Superbowl halftime show if not for his terrible image. Imagine, I believe I can fly backed by a full choir as a closing. That could be such a moment.

  18. Paulo September 13, 2016

    SMH @ these flaming trolls talking about “manly” stuff. like…… you’re on TGJ’s comment section and you wanna prove your manhood and straightness? LMAO chiiiile

    • HailLegendBeysus September 13, 2016

      That’s just Marsha in hiding.

    • Caleb September 15, 2016

      @Paulo Best comment ever!!!

    • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

      Yas she did! She was like “bishes this is too irrelevant for me” lol She was the biggest star in the world during those days, and being such thing was huge back then if you take into account all the other big names around.

  19. #JACKIE September 13, 2016

    Drake should headline.

    • Side to Side Hunny September 13, 2016

      Ci should get a career

      • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

        Girl bye

  20. JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

    If it comes true then FINALLY! She´s clearly the best performer left to perform on that stage among the ones that still have not done it. A pucking joke that Katy Perry paid for it first when she cannot pucking perform. Despite all the undeserving hate she gets for the supposed “gimmicks” and theatrics I bet if Gaga headlines the spectacle will be way less based on on lights and effects and customes and more on real vocals, music and talent than Katy Perry´s. No doubt.

    • It Was A Perfect Delusion September 13, 2016

      Her music is absolutely garbage though. Katy actually makes good pop music with a message.

      • Blue Ivy Rod September 13, 2016

        It will be a mess because Gaga has lost steam, she should come out with the album first then do the show.

      • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

        Katy Perry a message? LOL If we go by messages I think Gaga did pretty good by getting her first song written for a film nominated for an oscar and making people cry and give a standing ovation while performing it. Real message and most importantly, well transmited with real talent, vocals and passion.
        The message thing is absurd anyway since everybody and their mamma´s has songs with some type of message on their albums (difference is some can songwrite them and sing them live, others cannot).

    • Adam September 13, 2016

      “clearly the best performer left”…..i didn’t know Usher died….

      • JOHNVIDAL September 14, 2016

        I was thinking about females.

  21. Cough Cough September 13, 2016

    Gaga has the talent, stage presence, vocal ability, songs, versatility and passed duet prospects to make the half time show what it should be- a spectacle. A talent based spectacle with all the bells and whistles. I’d like Usher, too. But I’ve not liked ushers singing/dancing performances the last few years, he was too out of breathe. Gaga gets my vote

    • It Was A Perfect Delusion September 13, 2016

      Does Gaga have the music we want to hear? Her music is dated.

      • Cough Cough September 13, 2016

        Gaga has music and dances and looks people recognize, so yes. She can perform a bunch of her old hits and end it with something newer. She has plenty. You’re just bitter, which I’m not sure why.

  22. BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 September 13, 2016

    I called this months ago…. Hope it happens! I know she gonna deliver if chosen!

    • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

      Yes she has delivered at absolutely every single big stage she has been in. Jaz, pop, oscars, anthem… whatever and whenever.

  23. Fake Songwriting Credits September 13, 2016

    Gaga has a try hard image, after so many stunts people just don’t care. So the Super Bowl it’s not a good idea, everybody will be laughing at her and her desperate antics. First she needs to reinvent herself and stop giving this retro, not cool vibe, she was current and modern.

    • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

      LOL Look the trolls accounts are already here thumbing up “their” own comments like crazy. Spend your time doing something useful for yourself hun.
      If there are antics in her performance it won´t be nothing all the others haven´t done. You peopel kill me, as if Gaga couldn´t slay with voice and piano alone.

      • Fake Songwriting Credits September 13, 2016

        Well, how many pop star were caught eating a hotdogs in underwear, getting vomited on stage. When the comparisons and hate against Christina were everyday news she didn’t say a word to stop her little mosters. Until it was her turn to eat a humble pie, then she called her legendtina. The funny thing is now Beyonce won’t touch her, not even with a stick.

      • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

        What the puck does that have to do with anything???? We are talking about performances. She slays, get over it. Xtina and Gaga are cool. Get over that too, it´s 2016. No artist, absolutely no artist says anything to their fans when they attack other artists. Never. Many examples out there. And I don´t think they have to. They have a life and a passion for music to worry about, not no damn sad haters in some blogs.
        And well, that said, during the very long period when xtina was so hated (until they destroyed her career commercially), even here in this blog by like 95% of the comments (and there aren´t many Gaga fans in this blog, it was just everybody, people are that repulsive, you know, just like you), I was one of the very few defending her. So keep your hurt self for yourself. Not here for nonsense.

      • The kpop guy, Matt ~ September 13, 2016

        Chyle they were hugging at this year’s met. They worked on two songs together. When will xxxtine?

  24. TeamCici September 13, 2016

    I’d give my life literally to see Ciara hit that stage! I mean she has the energy,the songs,everything really,plus she’s married to an NFFella*pun intended*. She’s just right for that sort of event. Lord answer my prayers.

    • JOHNVIDAL September 13, 2016

      Dancing wise she would slay.

    • #JACKIE September 13, 2016

      Ciaras brand is booming. She’ll get there.

  25. Yeah man September 13, 2016

    Tweet for usher

    • tyana Jones September 14, 2016

      Tweet for Chris Brown too.

  26. Stephy September 13, 2016

    Honestly, if she accepts… And actually slays that stage. Her career would be shot right back into the stratosphere, but only if she actually slayed it. She’ll have to remind the people that she’s one of the best. But if she’s mediocre or plain ole’ terrible (which she rarely is on stage), then her career would be officially over.

    • Blue Ivy Rod September 13, 2016

      She has to kill the Bad Romance and Just Dance songs, that’s where she should do most of her dancing

  27. mr.m September 13, 2016

    XTINA XTINA XTINA!!!

    Drop her album at the end of the year then explode the 2017 super bowl . EYYYASSSS

    • Barb4Lyfe September 13, 2016

      You’re kidding right?

      • mr.m September 13, 2016

        No, your mom is

  28. Barb4Lyfe September 13, 2016

    Get Queen Minaj !

    • mr.m September 13, 2016

      No one wants to see that one hit wonder fake ass gorilla spiting on herself and walkin like a zombie. bye

      • Barb4Lyfe September 13, 2016

        You think people wanna see Fatina and her 2001 hits?

  29. YoursTruly September 13, 2016

    Usher is actually a great idea! He has the hits/longevity and he kills the stage every time! And I agree with the whole non pop star route because it’s getting played out, another genre is needed!

    As to R. kelly yes he has the hits but he’s not really family friendly (under aged dating/sextape/etc) and you know how the nfl is strict about their image. And whom they choose to align their self with. He doesn’t make the cut unfortunately. I’d be here for it though!

  30. Hilary Duff is MOM September 13, 2016

    Ariana Grande Superbowl 2016 it only makes sense.

  31. The kpop guy, Matt ~ September 13, 2016

    This is a good idea. Then maybe we’ll get to see telephone ft bey live for the first time EVER. That would bring blondes superbowl count till 3

  32. Adam September 13, 2016

    I honestly don’t hate Gaga, though she’s a little shallow to me with all the gimmicks…it’s really costed her commercial appeal…anything “ordinary” seems relativley boring. I wish she’d demonstrate a bit more vocal substance too, because she REALLY is a solid vocalist. As far as other candidates, Usher has a bigger body of work with 9 #1 singles, is a vocalist/dancer….he seems perfect.

  33. HailLegendBeysus September 13, 2016

    People are delusional as hell. Gaga would destroy on that stage. She’s the best pop pick left tbh. She’s getting ready to realise new music and has an upcoming tour. Now is the time for her to take the stage. Im here for it! Hopefully she does get the slot.

    • HailLegendBeysus September 13, 2016

      *release

  34. The Evil Eye September 13, 2016

    Let’s not pretend that these halftime shows haven’t gotten a bit fruity over the past few years. How many football fans are into Lady Gaga? Not many.

  35. 1mclover September 13, 2016

    im H E R E for it. she’s is a superstar if were being honest all this hate because she couldn’t live up to the hype of her last album? bye felicia (or fetty)

    she’s deff not as lit as beyonce but she’s also up there considering all the flakes we have out there

  36. Trina September 13, 2016

    ????? !! The back and forth as well as y’all comments killed me lmao !!!!! *sips lemonade*

  37. Blue Ivy Rod September 13, 2016

    Gaga is not that good of a dancer but she makes it up in sounding great (her vocals are just avg to me) to production and themes (her story telling is compelling) gays will just eat anything up as long as their eyes busy.

  38. FC/JC September 14, 2016

    Im having changed thoughts about her doing it, If you would have asked me before “Perfect Illusion” I was all for it… but now, I just dont know… Not sure if I want to see her at that particular event for 15min

  39. Nowqd Reddish trjoan ivy blobukz Need UK timely Ukuno eremixi September 14, 2016

    Can’t wait until they announce it for the performance of 2017

  40. Del September 14, 2016

    Gaga would definitely bring the theatrics to the Super bowl. Usher does have the catalogue and the talent to pull the show off. Either would be good.

  41. LOL September 14, 2016

    LOL DEATH AT ALL THESE BUGS SCARED CUZ GAGA WILL PUT THEIR BUG QUEEN’S BASIC ASS PERFORMANCES TO SHAME LOL! SHE’S GONNA SMASH IN RATINGS TOO, SOMETHING JAY’S S**** CAN NEVER DO LMAO!

    • HailLegendBeysus September 14, 2016

      LMFAO!!! We will see. Beyoncé Half-time show is litteraly in the top of or 10 of almost every MAJOR media outlets top 10 Half-time shows! Hahaha Gagz will need 9362825281 gimmicks and stage props to match it LOLOLOL!!

    • XoMoDe September 14, 2016

      LOL@you. What a dunce. No one is scared of this rumor. And even if it does come to fruition, there would still be no reason to fear. Beyonce can out sing, out dance, out strut, out swag and ultimately out perform Gaga with laryngitis and hobbling on one foot. So I say LET Gaga have the Halftime stage. In the end, it won’t be as praised or revered as Beyonce’s set was. Hell, it won’t even be compared to Bey’s show. You know who Gaga’s set is gonna be analyzed against? Madonna’s and Katy’s. LOL. Have fun.

  42. MISHKA September 14, 2016

    Why?

    Usher can totally do this. Or even better, Kanye West!

    • tyana Jones September 14, 2016

      So Chris Brown can too aslo.

  43. Caleb September 15, 2016

    So no one is going to bring up how Madonna-esque this picture TGJ chose for the post is? Was it taken from a Madonna tribute photo shoot or something?
